[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho March 9th + Daily Enc. March 10th

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

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To have a voice that reverberates with conviction
and moves other's hearts is vital.
With a life force charged by chanting wholeheartedly
for the sake of kosen-rufu and for the sake of our friends,
let us go out and share our philosophy with others.
The gosho teaches us that:
"The voice carries out the work of the Buddha."*

*Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 708, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 4

(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 909)
Selection source: President Ikeda's speech at the SGI training course, Seikyo Shimbun, March 9th, 2010
