[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho June 19th + Daily Enc. June 20th

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

Friday, June 19th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Brimming with the spirit of united commitment of mentor and disciple,
let's advance towards achieving all our goals.
By taking on every challenge with the spirit that we are
inseparable from our mentor,
let's continue to play out victorious dramas for kosen-rufu.

*"At any rate, of utmost importance is the oneness of
mentor and disciple. ... The Daishonin teaches that we
should struggle with the same spirit as the mentor."

"Unless we wage a great struggle for the happiness of all
people with the same dedication as the mentor--just as the
Buddha and the Bodhisattvas of the Earth have struggled
together as one since the distant past--we cannot call
ourselves the 'lion cubs.' ... We only carry on the legacy
of the Lotus Sutra, the scripture of the oneness of mentor
and disciple, when we firmly make the heart of a lion king
our own and struggle together as one with the mentor."
(The World of Nichiren Daishonin's Writings, Vol. 1,
Published by Soka Gakkai Malaysia)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon
exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people
who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - The Writings of
Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 832) Selection source:
"Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 19th, 2009

Saturday, June 20th, 2009
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who are serious about fulfilling their obligations naturally make careful
preparations. Careless, impractical planning is a sign of a lack of sincere
commitment to success."

translated June 18th, 2009
