[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho July 11th + Daily Enc. July 12th

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

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Victory or defeat is determined by the last offensive.
We should not waste even one minute or second.
Never ever slacken, even a bit, in the pursuit of justice and truth!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(My wish is that all my disciples make a great vow. We are very fortunate
to be alive after the widespread epidemics that occurred last year and the year
before.
But now with the impending Mongol invasion it appears that few will survive.
In the end, no one can escape death. The sufferings at that time will be exactly like
what we are experiencing now.) Since death is the same in either case,
you should be willing to offer your life for the Lotus Sutra. Think of this offering
as a drop of dew rejoining the ocean, or a speck of dust returning to the earth."

(The Dragon Gate - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 1003) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",
Seikyo Shimbun, July 11th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"To attain Buddhahood in this lifetime--in other words, to establish a life-state of
indestructible happiness and open the way towards peace and happiness for all--it is
essential to live one's life true to the commitment of kosen-rufu. Great persecutions
and obstacles, however, lie in the path of those who seek to fulfil this vow.
Therefore, the resolve to never abandon faith is crucial."

SGI Newsletter No. 7816, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 22: Chap. 3, High Seas 41,
translated July 10th, 2009
