Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

Let's read the Gosho regularly. Even just a little is fine. Even a single sentence. Just opening the Gosho is a start. At any rate, let's strive to read the Daishonin's writings. It's important to have the spirit to study the Gosho, to open up the Gosho. Even if you forget what you've read, something profound will have been engraved in the depths of your life.
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

Many in Body, One in Mind

One who has mastered himself is truly free. Freedom lies in the heart of the sage, servitude in the heart of the fool.
