Shimbun and more.

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our local community is the very forefront of
our movement to change the world for the better.
With our sincere attitude and sensible actions,
let's spread a light of trust throughout the community.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Great events never have minor omens. When great evil occurs, great good
follows."

(Great Evil and Great Good - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1,
page 1119) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 25th,
2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When a fellow member, be they junior or senior, receives an award or
honour, our life-state is clearly evident in whether or not we are able to
sincerely rejoice as if we ourselves were the ones receiving the accolade.
Those who share in such joys are genuine comrades who possess a broad,
elevated life-state and are able to practise faith in a spirit of unity with
their fellow members. On the other hand, those who instead feel envy or
jealousy on such occasions are exhibiting a low, narrow life-state
controlled by desires for personal acclaim. This typifies someone whose
belief is coloured by discord.

"For us, unity means to share in the joys and sorrows of our fellow members.
Human revolution enables us to overcome our petty self-centred tendencies
and to wholeheartedly rejoice for others' happiness."

SGI Newsletter No. 7575, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 21: Chap. 3,
Resonance 17, translated June 24th, 2008
