Guidance #3

From: Daily Guidance
Only after surviving the harsh trial winter
can seeds burst into fresh growth in the springtime.
Similiarly, only by surmounting hardships
can we be victorious in life and
savour real, lasting joy.
Conversely, if we shun difficulties and lose our challenging spirit,
then all we'll be left with in the end is failure and regret.
Therefore, please blaze a trail through the "forest of difficulty"
we find ourselves in and that tomorrow we work aain
energetically for kosen-rufu.
-Ikeda sensei
