A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Tuesday, Aug 5th, 2014 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Whether we send greetings for the season or physically return home for the summer, let's try to have deep and meaningful exchanges with our parents and other family members especially if they are not SGI members. Let's try to create a better understanding and appreciation of our practice through our own sincere and caring actions. Tuesday, Aug 5th, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the 'Never Disparaging' chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being." (The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 852) Selection source: Gosho for YMD, Seikyo Shimbun, July 26th, 2014 Wednesday, Aug 6th, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "We cannot foster outstanding capable people for kosen-rufu unless we put ourentire being into the effort. Those who chant for the growth of younger members and support them behind the scenes are most noble. "Those who foster new people are true leaders."
