[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] July 29th To My Friends & Daily Gosho + July 30th Daily Encouragement

--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
The Daishonin encourages us to exert ourselves
in the two ways of practice and study.*
It is vital that we study the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
through exerting ourselves in the activities for kosen-rufu.
Let's polish the jeweled swords of justice and truth!

*"Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism." - "The True Aspect of All Phenomena", The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 386

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practice in the impure world. Two thousand years of propagating Buddhism during the Former and Middle Days of the Law are inferior to an hour of propagation in the Latter Day of the Law."
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 736)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 29th , 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Sincerity is the foremost requirement for leaders of the SGI. Victory will be determined by prayer based on a powerful vow for kosen-rufu, thorough discussion, and initiative taken by our leaders."

SGI Newsletter No. 8288, LIVING THE GOSHO: WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM SGI PRESIDENT IKEDA. Translated from the July 22, 2011, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun.
