A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Tuesday, Jan 13th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Where there is song, there is joy and harmony. Let's together with our precious fellow members fill the air with Gakkai songs and so develop our solidarity of hope! Tuesday, Jan 13th, 2015 --- 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, page 851) Selection source: "Myoji no Gen", Seikyo Shimbun, Jan 11th, 2015 Wednesday, Jan 14th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Chanting with a powerful resolve not to be beaten by adversity and a wish that everyone without exception will attain happiness and victory, our members are transforming everything into a source of hope and setting in motion a chain reaction of benefit, joy, and growth of capable individuals. "'If you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present' (WND-1, 279), cites Nichiren Daishonin. "Taking a step forwards today opens the way to the future. Let's keep challenging ourselves joyfully so we have no regrets. "Our youth division members are courageously speaking out for truth and justice, and our men's division and women's division members—including our pioneering Many Treasures Group members—are promoting our movement for kosen-rufu with unflagging energy. I would like to sincerely praise and express my gratitude for everyone's noble efforts."
