A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Tuesday, Aug 19th, 2014 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Let's widely share our philosophy of the deep respect for human life with one person after another! This is the grand path that will lead to a truly peaceful world. Tuesday, Aug 19th, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "And now when Nichiren chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, he is enabling all living beings to attain Buddhahood in the ten thousand years of the Latter Day of the Law." (Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 720, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 41) Selection source: President Ikeda's Essay: Our Grand Path to Victory, Seikyo Shimbun, August 1st, 2014 Wednesday, Aug 20th, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "'Even when . . . priests set out from Japan to take some sutras [back] to China, no one was found there who could embrace these sutras and teach them to others. It was as though there were only wooden or stone statues garbed in priests' robes and carrying begging bowls.' From "On the Buddha's Prophecy" (WND-1, 401). "Fostering successors is building the future. The SGI's efforts to raise capable successors constitute sowing the seeds for world peace. If the number of people who are dedicated to kosen-rufu increases, we will be able to reduce the amount of misery there is in the world. Our future division members have an especially important mission in that respect. "Those who embrace the Mystic Law and teach it to others, illuminating the lives of all around them, are genuine 'treasures of the nation.' Accordingly, those who foster similarly dedicated successors are also such treasures—indeed, they are theforemost treasures of the entire world." SGI Newsletter No. 9068, (24) Those Who Embrace and Spread the Mystic Law Are Genuine "Treasures of the Nation." Aug.16th, 2014, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 18th Aug., 2014 * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's web-site address at http://www.seikyoonline.jp/news/index.html --WAGATOMO NI OKURU-- SEIMEI SONGEN NO TETSUGAKU O HITORI MATA HITORI TO KATARI HIROGEYO! SORE GA SHINJITSU NO HEIWA O KIZUKU ODO DA. -- KYO NO GOSHO -- "IMA NICHIREN GA TONAURU TOKORO NO NAM-MYOHO-RENGE-KYO WA MAPPO ICHIMANNEN NO SHUJO MADE JOBUTSU SESHIMURU NARI" (Gosho Zenshu, page 720) |
