[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho July 19th + Daily Enc. July 20th

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

Saturday, July 19th, 2008
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's from one earnest person that the circle of dialogue will expand
and a wave of great development will spread.
What is important is that each and every one of us
stands up and takes action.
Let's all become a power source for victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other. 'All others who
bear you enmity or malice will likewise be wiped out.' These golden words
will never prove false."

(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 1001) Selection source "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July
19th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin referred to disciples of steadfast faith as sages and
worthies. He treated them as his equals, bestowing, I believe, the most
honourable titles on them because of their nobility as human beings. The
Daishonin didn't praise people because they were learned or had an exalted
position in society. A person's level of learning has nothing to do with
their faith, and we must never discriminate against anyone on that basis. It
is evident from his writings that this was not the Daishonin's spirit. As
the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, he bestowed the title of 'Sage' on
an ordinary woman (cf. WND-1, 325). This is a crucial point to remember. If
this point is lost sight of, the Gakkai will descend into ruin.
