A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Thursday, July 24th, 2014 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Let's treasure the conversations we have with our children. A harmonious family is the very foundation of the transmission of the spirit of our practice from one generation to another. Let's create wonderful memories to adorn the 100th anniversary of the founding of Soka*! * In 2030, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the foundation of Soka Gakkai. Thursday, July 24th, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "This I will state. Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions assail me. Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law." (The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 280) Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shinbun, July 24th, 2014 Friday, July 25th, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Nichiren Buddhism is a teaching of the highest good that enables humanity and all life in the universe to shine. When we base ourselves on this ultimate Law, we can lead lives of unsurpassed value. When we have faith in and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, our lives come to be in rhythm with the universe. "Talking about the essence of sharing Nichiren Buddhism with others, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda said: 'You are living your lives as entities of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. . . . Sharing the correct teaching with others in the Latter Day of the Law means having the firm conviction, "My life is none other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!"' "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo contains everything within it—wisdom, courage, strength, and compassion. Only faith in the Mystic Law enables us to overcome the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Let's boldly embark on a life of total victory imbued with the four noble virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity."
