[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho April 9th + Daily Enc. April 10th

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

Thursday, April 9th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our faith and practice is all about taking action based on our
own initiative.
Those who continue to dedicate themselves with joy to
achieving kosen-rufu and who take on every situation positively,
will definitely accumulate immeasurable good fortune and benefit.
Let's all become champions in life by responding to all
challenges with a cheerful and joyful spirit!

--- 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. This is what I have taught my disciples
morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their
faith."

(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page
283) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 9th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When people transform their karma into mission, they can tap limitless
power that can change anything."
