A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.
September 15th-21st, 2008
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
There is absolutely no strategy that is more effective
than the strategy of the Lotus Sutra.
Let's earnestly chant daimoku with the strong determination to
win and courageously put our faith into action.
Cheerfully, and with conviction,
let's challenge ourselves to achieve all of our goals!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practise."

Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 214) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
With unflagging good cheer and vitality, let us continue our efforts to
reach out to others in vibrant and meaningful dialogue. Nichiren Daishonin
teaches the spirit of propagating Buddhism. 'Propagation' might be a big
word, but all it means is engaging in dialogue aimed at helping people
actualise lasting happiness and making the world a better place. Be
confident and straightforward when you speak. Tell people about the
greatness of our cause.
" I hope you will lead personally fulfilling lives, and that you will
cultivate beautiful flowers of friendship and victory along the way.
"Those ruled by cowardice and envy cannot engage in heart-to-heart dialogue
that really communicates with others. That is foolish, unfortunate, and
pitiful."
