A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.
June 16th-22nd, 2014
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
A person of courage shines in the forefront.
A leader must always try to take the initiative in activities—
this is the ironclad rule for kosen-rufu's advancement.
Today again, together with our respect-worthy fellow members,
let's busy ourselves on the forefront of activities
where we each have our own unique and noble missions to fulfil.

"This life is like a dream. One cannot be sure that one will live until
tomorrow. However wretched a beggar you might become, never disgrace the
Lotus Sutra."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"Who at this time in the Latter Day of the Law has been carrying out the
worldwide propagation of the Mystic Law, the teaching for the
enlightenment of all people?
"Who, in actual fact, has plunged into the midst of those who are
suffering and has been imparting the light of hope for a brighter future
to those around them out of a wish to help them dispel the darkness of
despair?
"Who, while struggling with their own difficulties, has been reaching
out to warmly support others who have problems and persevering in
dialogue to help them draw forth the courage and energy to lead vibrant,
positive lives?
"Who has been tirelessly encouraging people throughout Japan and around
the world, confidently telling them, 'Now is the time to transform your
karma. Let's chant daimoku together and strive our hardest!' 'Winter
always turns to spring. You can overcome this suffering and become
happy, without fail!?'
"It is none other than our noble members. It is none other than the SGI,
a gathering of Bodhisattvas of the Earth. It is none other than us, the
mentors and disciples of Soka."
