[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 4th Nov. 2013 To My Friends and Daily Gosho plus 4th-10th Nov. 2013 Words of the Week

As we get closer and closer to Nov. 18th and with many new members in our local areas would it not be an idea to let people know about this service? Just get them to drop an E-mail to SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo-subscribe@yahoogroups.co.uk and from then it is all automatic! Or if that does not work out just hit the reply key and let us know their addresses and we will send them an invitation to join the group. The former way is the better though! All the best and hope you have a great week!

Translations of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" and "Words of the Week"

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is precisely because of the selfless dedication
of our chapter men's and women's leaders
that kosen-rufu has and does advance.
It is most certain that all the daimoku that you chant,
all the actions you take,
and all your prayers for the sake of everyone's happiness,
is praised by all the Buddhas and Buddhist gods.

--- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
(To celebrate the completion of the
new Soka Gakkai Headquarters,)
SGI members from all over the world are
coming to visit Japan.*
Let's hold the most joyful and hope-filled discussion meetings ever
so that we can celebrate this great completion together in high spirits!
Let's make sure to express our utmost respect
and appreciation to all of our kosen-rufu pioneers,
our Soka fathers and mothers.
This is a fresh new start towards repaying our debt of gratitude
and at the same time towards renewing our vow for kosen-rufu.
