[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho Oct 10th + Daily Enc. Oct 11th

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

Friday, October 10th, 2008
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is very important that we sincerely praise what is good
(in regards to people and society) but relentlessly denounce what is
wrong.
It is only when voices of justice and truth are clearly and
widely heard that society will dramatically change.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Be resolved to summon forth the great power of faith, and
chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the prayer that your faith
will be steadfast and correct at the moment of death."

(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings
of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 218) Selection source:
Soka Gakkai President Harada's encouragement, Seikyo

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When the times are dark and gloomy--indeed, precisely at such times--we
should advance with dynamism and good cheer. We should strive to brighten
and lift the spirits of those around us. Soka Gakkai meetings should be the
most energetic, inspiring, and vibrant gatherings in the world. If the
meetings are filled with people who are tired and listless, thinking 'Not
another meeting,' 'Not another activity,' even their applause will sound
weary. [Laughter.] Meetings in the early days of our movement were
incredibly lively, and the applause, too, was always enthusiastic and
powerful. Such meetings are energizing, and that's good for our health, too.

"Being half-hearted is such a waste. If we go around as if we're half-asleep
all the time, we can't hope to savour a life that is free of regret. Let's
forge ahead with enthusiasm and vigour!"

SGI Newsletter No. 7644, 22ND SOKA GAKKAI HEADQUARTERS LEADERS MEETING--PART
1 [OF 2], Let's Brighten and Lift Everyone's Spirits, Sep. 30th, 2008. Prior
to SGI President Ikeda's speech, Soka Gakkai President Harada announced the
theme for 2009, "Year of Youth and Victory," aiming toward the 80th
anniversary of the Soka Gakkai's founding in 2010. Translated Oct. 9th, 2008
