[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho Dec. 28th + Daily Enc. Dec 29th

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

Sunday, December 28th, 2008
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's continue to cherish and look out for our old friends.
And let's use any opportunity we have to make new ones.
Real genuine friendship is a strong and dependable force
that helps advance society and makes the times better.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Can we count the number of raindrops that fall in a major world system in
the space of seven days? Or does anyone know the number of dust particles in
the vast lands that make up the worlds of the ten directions? But the
benefits one gains by making offerings even to one word of the Lotus
Sutra--these, the Buddha says, are truly hard to measure."

(Reply to the Lay Nun of Kubo - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.2, page 871) Selection source: SGI
President Ikeda's speech, Seikyo Shimbun, December 28th,
