[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho April 14th + Daily Enc. April 15th

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

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Truly victorious are those who deeply understand and appreciate
the importance and value contained in just one single day -- today.
Let us stand up as true disciples (who accomplish great victories
by spending every single day meaningfully for the sake of kosen-rufu)!*

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might
bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun
rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the
practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 345)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 14th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Sufferings and hardship are actually the springboard for winning in life.
When we decide to face and challenge our difficulties, we chant daimoku
fervently and become completely involved in solving the problem. In the
process, we can tap our full strength and polish and train ourselves. This
provides the momentum for success.... The reason we're moved by films and
television dramas that have happy endings is that the characters have gone
through all kinds of troubles to reach the conclusion. All of you are
enacting a great drama of kosen-rufu. Without tribulations, there'd be no
story. Obstacles provide fuel for victory."

Currents 31, translated April 13th, 2009
