[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho July 15th + Daily Enc. July 16th

A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo
Shimbun and more.

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's do our utmost to respond to whatever we hear quickly
and let's take care of what needs to be taken care of with lightning speed.
How swiftly we react
will determine whether we are
successful in our "battles" or not!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might
bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun
rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the
practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 345) Selection
source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 15th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Allow me now to return to Guo Moruo and the benefit of song. He continued:
'Song can rally the strength of one's own forces, and ... it can deflate the
morale of one's opponents." That's very true. This is why Mr. Toda always
had members sing inspiring songs. Singing songs is a Gakkai tradition. Let's
keep on doing so! Nothing can compare to the confident, dynamic, and
optimistic momentum of our members united in spirited song.

"...At any rate, songs are important. Let's all sing together. As it says in
the Gosho: 'The voice does the Buddha's work' (cf. OTT, 4)."
