*Today here in Japan we have had a National Press Holiday so there was no paper today, but we held on to "Words of the Week" published yesterday to cover the gap!... Hope you're having, had or are going to have a very special day! All the best!...

A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

February 14th-20th, 2011
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
In this month of the Daishonin's birth,
let's all make every effort to attend our discussion meetings,
in cheerful and high spirits!
By together creating a whirlpool of joyous daimoku,
and by raising wave upon wave of capable Bodhisattvas of the Earth,
our districts continue to advance victoriously.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth.."
(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page
385) Selection source: "Kibo no Izumi", Seikyo Shimbun, February 13th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Even if you have a kind heart, great ideas, or wonderful aspirations, if you don't have the courage to translate them into action, you'll accomplish nothing with them. In fact, you'd be no different from someone who doesn't have such things at all."
SGI Newsletter No. 8159, THE POWER OF YOUTH: LEARNING FROM THE GUIDANCE OF SGI PRESIDENT IKEDA, from the February 2011 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated Feb. 10th, 2011
