[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] Words of the Week Oct 13th-19th, Daily Gosho Oct 14th + Daily Enc. Oct 15th

A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

October 13th-19th, 2008
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Kosen-rufu is about making the sincere and earnest effort to
meet and talk with people.
By enthusiastically and confidently sharing our thoughts
and beliefs with others,
let's try to grasp the heart and understanding of every person whom we talk
with.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Is not a person of wisdom one who admonishes the ruler
when the country is endangered or corrects others'
mistaken views?"

(The Letter of Petition from Yorimoto - The Writings of
Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 807) Selection source:
Student Division Chief Kasai's encouragement, Seikyo
Shimbun, October 13th, 2008

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Life is a struggle. We must win, and win utterly and decisively, summoning
our last ounce of strength for victory! We won't be able to keep on winning
if we grow self-important and seek to leave all the hard work to others. Nor
will we be able to achieve final victory in life if we forget our sense of
gratitude and appreciation to others, lose sight of kosen-rufu and are
defeated by the devilish functions of our inner negativity."
