A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Saturday, August 2nd, 2014 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Now is the time to make new friends. Meeting new people enriches our lives. While still cherishing our old friends, let's take every opportunity to develop new friendships by respecting each other's differences. Saturday, August 2nd, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Nevertheless, Shakyamuni Buddha refused to entrust the mission of propagation to any of these people and gave it instead to the Bodhisattvas of the Earth. Thus these bodhisattvas are the ones who had thoroughly forged their resolve." (General Stone Tiger- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 953) Selection source: "Gosho to Tomoni", Seikyo Shimbun, August 2nd, 2014 Sunday, August 3rd, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT --- "Chanting creates the strongest 'life waves' possible, as Nichiren Daishonin states: 'There is nowhere throughout the worlds of the ten directions that the sound of our voices chanting daimoku [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo] do not reach' (GZ, 808).With this in mind, I hope you'll also chant daimoku with faith in your own great growth and victory. This is chanting with the shared spirit of mentor and disciple, by which our lives will definitely connect. So even if you lack self-confidence now,there's nothing to worry about. The "sun" of self-confidence is certain to rise in the hearts of those who make efforts." SGI Newsletter No. 9056, Dialogue for the Future: Traveling the Path of Victory Together with You. [23] Nothing Is Greater Than the Path of Mentor and Disciple―Part 2 [of 2], translation released 29th July, 2014, from the 1st March, 2014, issue of the Mirai [Future] Journal.
