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

Sunday, February 14th, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make every effort to reach out and talk with others,
happily, open-mindedly
and in our own unique and individual ways.
Let's make our lives shine gloriously by building trust
and friendship with as many people as we possibly can!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"On the other, it is to voice what one truly has in mind. Thus one's thoughts are expressed in one's voice. The mind represents the spiritual aspect, and the voice, the physical aspect. The spiritual aspect manifests itself in the physical. A person can know another's mind by listening to the voice. This is because the physical aspect reveals the spiritual aspect."

(Opening the Eyes of Wooden and Painted Images - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 86)
Selection source: Buddhist study, Seikyo Shimbun, February 14th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Discussion meetings make the Soka Gakkai strong. They make it invincible. Mr. Toda declared: 'One actual discussion meeting is far more effective in turning the wheels of kosen-rufu than a million fine-sounding words of theory.'"

SGI Newsletter No. 7931, THE LIGHT OF THE CENTURY OF HUMANITY, Our Great Discussion Meeting Movement, from the December 11, 2009, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated Feb. 10th, 2010
