A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- April has arrived, bringing freshness and breathing new life into all of our endeavours! Now is the time for us to establish clear goals so that we can make solid progress! With a freshness of spirit let's strive to create a golden history of achievements every single day! Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "When it comes to studying the teachings of Buddhism, one must first learn to understand the time." (The Selection of the Time - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 538) Selection source: "Teachings of Buddhism", Seikyo Shimbun, Mar 25th, 2014 Tuesday, April 2nd, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- Nichiren Daishonin writes: "If you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present" (WND-1, 279).No matter what has happened up to now, change is always possible. We can create a new path from the present into the future. All of you have within your lives the power to calmly surmount whatever problems you are facing now. You just have to tap into that power. That's why, even if you experience a disappointment, I want you to bring forth invincible courage and envision a better future. If you look toward the future, your horizons will expand. When you imagine a brighter future, you'll know what you need to do right now. When I spoke with the African environmental activist Wangari Maathai (1940–2011) eight years ago (in 2005), she conveyed the message to the youth that they needed to understand that the future is not far away; it is now. If there is something they want to achieve in the future, she said, they need to act now. I would like to dedicate those words, which epitomized Dr. Maathai's life, to all of you.
