[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 11th Oct. 2014 To My Friends and Daily Gosho plus 12th Oct. 2014 Daily Encouragement

 

* Apologies for the delay in sending this. We have and still have 
a very strong typhoon coming up Japan and it has caused our TMF team 
some challenges and then we have not been able to match 
our schedules to do our "team" work. This may continue 
for the next day or so, but as it stands we are safe so no need to worry!

A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" 
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A super typhoon is approaching (to Japan).
Let's beware and cautious of any 
rainstorms, landslides, flooding from rivers, etc..
To all of those who deliver Seikyo Shimbun 
and all our other SGI publications,
please make sure that your safety is your top priority 
and stay absolutely accident free!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The lion king is said to advance three steps, then gather himself to 
spring, unleashing the same power whether he traps a tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal."

(Reply to Kyō'ō, The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, Page 412) Selection source: "Suntetsu", Seikyo Shimbun, October 11th, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"You are bound to encounter obstacles and difficulties in life of one degree or another. But please know that they all derive from the Buddha's compassion, aimed at helping you become strong, like tall, sturdy trees.
            
"With that conviction, please forge ahead as champions of faith, overcoming all challenges and opening the way forwards in your lives and for kosen-rufu with ever greater strength, resilience, and joy with each obstacle you face."
