[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] July 31st To My Friends and Daily Gosho + August 1st Daily Encouragement

 

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

Tuesday, July 31st, 2012
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's put forth all our effort during the summer
so that the succession of faith and practice
will be passed down to the next generation.
It is very important that both parents and children
practice gongyo and chanting daimoku together
and spend time to talk about their own family history of kosen-rufu.
Let's lead each and every day by creating value!

Tuesday, July 31st, 2012
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"As for my parents in this lifetime, however, they not only gave me birth but made me a believer in the Lotus Sutra."

(The Four Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 44)

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

Young people who see outstanding individuals and are inspired by them, or who always admire their friends who excel them in some way and take them as role models in their own studies are people who are steadily but surely improving and developing.

Let's cheer for those students who are struggling
to achieve success in school entrance exams.
Trust that your strenuous efforts will definitely pay off.
Be true to yourself and put forth your very best!

Monday, July 30th, 2012
--- 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 realized 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,"13 cannot be false in any way."

(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 217) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, July 30th, 2012

July 30th - August 5th, 2012
--- WORDS OF THE WEEK ---
Summer has many good opportunities for young people to make progress.
Brim with life force by practicing gongyo in high spirits.
Today again, let's be strong and happy,
and let's take a courageous step forward to challenge ourselves!

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

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The summer of expanding friendships has arrived.
Let's make realistic plans that don't drain us out
and let's make sure the actions we take are completely safe and reasonable!
The Gosho reminds us to always exercise our "usual prudence,"(*)
We absolutely cannot allow carelessness to get the better of us!

(*) Gosho, "Strategy of the Lotus Sutra," WND I, p. 1000, "It is a matter of rejoicing that your usual prudence and courage, as well as your firm faith in the Lotus Sutra, enabled you to survive unharmed."

"The verse section of the chapter states, '... single-mindedly desiring to see the Buddha, not hesitating even if it costs them their lives.' As a result of this passage, I have revealed the Buddhahood in my own life."

A passage from Josei Toda's "Precepts for Youth" reads: "Yet there are so many young people who are incapable of having compassion for their own parents. How can they be expected to care about perfect strangers? The effort to overcome the coldness and indifference in our own lives and attain the same state of compassion as the Buddha is the essence of human revolution."

"The London Summer Olympics, a global festival of peace, will soon begin.

"It goes without saying that the key to success in sports, in youth, and in all aspects of life, is momentum. Success and vibrant growth are found where there is momentum, be it in the life of an individual or in an organisation. Therefore, let us advance joyfully and spiritedly, with the 'momentum of a charging lion' and the 'momentum of splitting bamboo.'

"The Lotus Sutra speaks of a lion's powerful momentum, referring to 'the power that has the lion's ferocity' (cf. LSOC15, 258). When we chant daimoku, which is like the roar of a lion, our lives are filled with this overflowing life force; we can face any problem or challenge with the momentum of a charging lion and triumph over them, transforming suffering into joy.

"In the East, unstoppable momentum has also long been likened to the process of splitting a bamboo stalk. How can we create such unstoppable momentum? The Daishonin writes: 'The situation is like the joints in a piece of bamboo: if one joint is ruptured, then all the joints will split' (WND-1, 512). It is important, therefore, that we chant strongly and specifically about each problem or challenge facing us, take resolute action, and emerge victorious. It doesn't matter if the challenge is small or seemingly ordinary. The key is to pledge to complete it and then carry out that pledge, with sincerity and persistence, until we've accomplished what we set out to do. That is like splitting the first joint in a bamboo stalk; it creates tremendous momentum for every subsequent challenge. It becomes the momentum for human revolution and the momentum for eternal victory in both youth and life."

[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 20th July 2012 To My Friends and Daily Gosho + 21st July 2012 Daily Enc.

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

Friday, July 20th, 2012
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our noble precious Young Women's Division members,
congratulations on your fresh new start with your newly named "Kayo Leaders."*
Based always on chanting daimoku, first and foremost,
put your faith into action courageously
and perform a wonderful victorious dance!

*Commemorating the 61st anniversary of its inauguration on July 19th, Soka Gakkai Young Women's Division made a fresh new start with new titles for the leaders of the group.

Friday, July 20th, 2012
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practice."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 790, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 214)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, July 20th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of the human condition. No one can avoid facing illness at some point in their life.

"In a letter of encouragement to the lay nun Myoshin, the Daishonin notes that her husband, through his long struggle with illness, had now been motivated to seek the Buddha way day and night without cease (cf. WND-1, 938).

"Falling ill is not a result of weak faith. Falling ill, however, can serve as an opportunity for us to strengthen our faith further, as well as a crucial turning point in our human revolution, enabling us to deepen our state of life towards attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime. When we fearlessly confront illness, we can awaken to just how precious our life is. And when we stay aligned to the Mystic Law throughout all, we can perceive the eternal life-state of Buddhahood within us.

"In a letter to Shijo Kingo and his wife whose infant daughter was seriously ill, the Daishonin declared: 'If we consider the power of the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], we will find perpetual youth and eternal life before our eyes' (WND-1, 413).

"No matter what sickness or adversity may befall you or a loved one, I hope you will chant powerful daimoku that resounds throughout your family like an invincible lion's roar to triumph over all obstacles. Please encourage and set an example for others through achieving a brilliant life of victory imbued with the four noble virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity."

[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 19th July 2012 To My friends and Daily Gosho + 20th July 2012 Daily Enc.

* Just to let you know the TMF team is heading into the summer holiday season as of the 23rd so you will see either the names "Mitsuko" or "Ritu" in place of "Scobie-john" until the end of August. So don't adjust anything! The same service will continue as much as possible. All the best!...

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

Thursday, July 19th, 2012
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we read the Gosho with our entire being, the path to victory unfolds.
Let's light that flame of conviction in the depths of our hearts!
Let's be the heros and heroines of the two ways of practice and study*!

*Gosho - The True Aspect of All Phenomena - (WND 1, page 386), "Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase."

Thursday, July 19th, 2012
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Be resolved to summon forth the great power of faith, and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the prayer that your faith will be steadfast and correct at the moment of death."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 218)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, July 19th, 2012

Friday, July 20th, 2012
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren Daishonin states: "Our head corresponds to myo, our throat to ho, our chest to ren, our stomach to ge, and our legs to kyo. Hence this five-foot body of ours constitutes the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo" (OTT, 28).

"The ultimate essence of Buddhism is not something remote or separate from our life. The body we have received from our parents is a supremely respectworthy entity of the Mystic Law. Consequently, when we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and use our mind, body, and voice for the sake of the Law, for the happiness of others, and for the realisation of peace based on the humanistic principles of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, the supreme wisdom and boundless power of the Buddha will unfailingly well forth from within our life.

"Faith in the Mystic Law offers an unsurpassed way to good health. With a vigorous morning and evening gongyo as our foundation, and also with the firm determination to lead a life of good health, let us live each day brimming with vibrant energy and vitality.

"As SGI members, all of you are working to fulfill a profound mission for kosen-rufu. As a result, your lives may be busier than most. Please try to use your time wisely, in the most valuable way you can, and also get sufficient sleep. For if you overdo things and let yourself become exhausted, you'll run the risk of falling ill. 'Life is the foremost of all treasures' (WND-1, 1125), writes the Daishonin. I hope you will act as your own skilled physician and nurse, taking care to stay fit and healthy and to eat a sensible diet."

"Resolve to win

"Natalia Sats (1903–93), founder of the Moscow State Musical Theater for Children, once said with a smile: 'Having an ideal in life and striving for its realisation with all your heart keeps you young.'[1] This noted Russian artist had great admiration for the youthful spirit and energy of our women's division members.[2]

"Youth is a state of mind. Though we may grow old in years and our bodies age, our desire to strive for kosen-rufu will remain fresh and vital and never wane when we work together with our fellow members."

"Wherever you work, don't be passive, but strive with the spirit that you are a person with an active role and responsibility in your workplace. If you do so, it will be challenging, but it will also be very rewarding. Moreover, nothing is more enjoyable than improving and developing yourself through your work. Regarding your workplace simply as a place where you earn your living is such a waste."

When one Bodhisattva of the Earth stands up and initiates action,
then two, three, and a hundred will follow.*
May each and every one of you become ambassadors of Soka,
shouldering the full responsibility for the achievement of kosen-rufu!

*"At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others. Propagation will unfold this way in the future as well. Does this not signify 'emerging from the earth' ?" - "The True Aspect of All Phenomena", WND-I, page 385
