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

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The joy of victory in one person's life is uncontrollable, it naturally spreads
from one person to another, giving rise to surging waves of happiness.
Let us each take charge of our precious SGI organisation,
with the spirit that we are all its trailblazers; its forerunners.
And with this spirit, let us squarely take on every challenge that lies ahead and
open up a wonderful future!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The boy Snow Mountains gave his own body, and the ascetic Aspiration for the Law
peeled off his own skin [in order to record the Buddha's teachings]. Since nothing is
more precious than life itself, one who dedicates one's life to Buddhist practice is
certain to attain Buddhahood."

(Letter from Sado - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 301)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, June 17th, 2009.

Thursday, June 18th, 2009
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We need to treasure those who are working hard to further our movement for
kosen-rufu, those who are sincerely sharing the Daishonin's Buddhism with others and
offering wholehearted encouragement and guidance in faith to fellow members.

"Criticizing or harassing those who are doing their best for positive aims cannot be
described as humanistic behaviour. Such actions are unforgiveable. The arrogance of
domineering individuals needs to be severely rebuked."
