[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho Feb. 16th + Words of the Week Feb 16th -22nd

Translations of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" and
"Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and
more.

Monday, February 16th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To raise everyone's spirits and give people hope--this is
a leader's mission.
Acting in an arrogant or lordly manner
towards our precious fellow members is nothing but disrespectful.
Rather, let's be like the warm sun, guiding everyone to victory.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various
difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we
will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not
have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you
protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not
enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."

(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 283) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 16th, 2009

February 16th-22nd, 2009
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
By holding vibrant discussion meetings,
a fresh path towards greater victories and successes opens
up for all of us.
Let's make every possible effort so that everyone can take
the initiative and create an enormous wave of hope and happiness in society.
Let's make this February the SGI's most historical month of the
21st century by achieving the greatest expansion and development ever.
