A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Friday, Aug. 8th, 2014 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Be it hot or raining each and every morning, our Seikyo Shimbun deliverers start another day as the front runners of kosen-rufu. Thank you all so very much for your selfless dedication! Please always take good care of your health first and foremost. May you all, our gallant uncrowned heroes and heroines, shine with glorious victories! Friday, Aug. 8th, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up." (Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 598) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 8th, 2014 Saturday, August 9th, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "In an effort to get to know each young men's division member, I made time not only to talk with them before and after meetings, but also to visit or meet with them personally and listen to what they had to say. "The better I got to know them, the more deeply I prayed that I would be able tohelp them grow into capable people for kosen-rufu and forge solid connections with their mentor, President Toda. I sometimes went to the communal bath house with them, invited them to my home, listened to records with them, and enjoyed conversations with them over shared meals. Those days remain with me today as fond memories. "I always gave my all. I put my heart and soul into sincerely encouraging the person right in front of me. "We shared our problems and chanted together. We spread the Daishonin's teachings together and struggled side by side for kosen-rufu."
