[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho Jan 29th + Daily Enc. Jan 30th

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

Friday, January 29th, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All of our assistant leaders,
who enthusiastically work towards fulfilling their missions,
are playing a very important and vital role in helping us all
to achieve total victory for kosen-rufu.
It is indeed everyone's energetic and compassionate support of each other that doubles the momentum of the SGI movement.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217) Selection source "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, January 29th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I hope you will make even greater efforts than you have till now to meet and talk with others, fostering heart-to-heart communication for the sake of kosen-rufu. Please pursue dialogue with a bright and confident spirit.

"...As leaders, it is especially important that you take the initiative to talk with as many people as possible. That's the way for you to develop even more impressive character and become even more inspiring leaders.

"Without initiative, there is no victory. Without fighting spirit, there is no faith. Whatever the situation, never give in to fear! Press forwards with courage. Speak out. Strive with all your might and create a history of successive victories."
