[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] May 14th, 2014 To My Friends & Daily Gosho plus 15th May, 2014 Daily Encouragement

 

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

Wednesday, May 14th, 2014
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If we have the type of passive attitude of
"I will do it only if I have to,"
we will never manifest our full potential.
Instead therefore, let's make up our minds that
"I'm the one who will take full responsibility, "
and challenge ourselves so that 
we can open up a path to victory and success!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Carry through with your faith in the Lotus Sutra. You cannot strike fire 
from flint if you stop halfway."

- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1,
page 319) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", 
Seikyo Shimbun, May 14th, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Always advancing—that is the spirit of the Daishonin's Buddhism. 
Kosen-rufu is a long journey, continuing into the eternal future. 
The key to victory in this endeavour is the spirit of unceasing effort."
