A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week" in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. August 4th - 10th, 2014 -- WORDS OF THE WEEK -- Buddhist study is like a compass for happiness. Today again, let's study the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin so that we can advance along the correct path of life. Now, together with our young people, let's learn from the Daishonin's teachings so we can grow and advance with joy! Monday, August 4th, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "This passage refers to the great joy that one experiences when one understands for the first time that one's mind from the very beginning has been a Buddha. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys." (The Essential Passage in Each of the Twenty-eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra, Prophecy of Enlightenment for Five Hundred Disciples - The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 211) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 4th, 2014 Tuesday, August 5th, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT --- "Being able to record your name in the history of kosen-rufu at such an important moment will become an everlasting honour. A new lineup of youthful leaders has launched into action with fresh resolve. "Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda said to the youth: 'Always move forwards together based on relationships of genuine trust.' "Regardless of how the times may change, sharing beautiful ties of friendship with our fellow members will remain the eternal Gakkai spirit. "'I grieve with you in your sorrows; / You celebrate with me in my joys'- I have often hummed these lines from 'Ah, the Dawn Approaches,' the old dormitory song of Osaka Higher School. Let's advance united in spirit toward a new dawn, sharing both joys and sorrows." SGI Newsletter No. 9059, On Our Shared Journey for Kosen-rufu—II, (34) Opening the Dawn of a New Age with Our Fellow Members, from the 1st Sep., 2013 Seikyo Shinbun, translation released 1st Aug. 2014. * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's web-site address athttp://www.seikyoonline.jp/news/index.html --KONSHU NO KOTOBA-- KYOGAKU WA KOFUKU ENO RASHIMBAN.
