Loved seeing this on my email today via SGI-ToMyFriendsWagatomo@yahoogroups.co.uk Guidance emails. One of my personal favourites, and a quote I look at each day on my butsudan.
"T'ien-t'ai states, 'From the indigo, an even deeper blue.' This passage means that, if one dyes something repeatedly in indigo, it becomes even bluer than the indigo leaves. The Lotus Sutra is like the indigo, and the strength of one's practice is like the deepening blue."
(Hell Is the Land of Tranquil Light - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 457)

Let's determine to strengthen our practice. From this day on!
