A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Sunday, Feb 1st, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- The popular proverb says that "one is the mother of ten thousand."* Even the greatest of goals is achieved by taking that first step right from where we are standing now. Let's put forth our very best so that we can proudly say at the end of each day, "I have won today!" *"Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man" - WND-I, page 130 Sunday, Feb 1st, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "To accept is easy; to continue is difficult. But Buddhahood lies in continuing faith. Those who uphold this sutra should be prepared to meet difficulties." (The Difficulty of Sustaining Faith - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 471) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 1st, 2015 Monday, Feb 2nd, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Truly wise individuals can create value under any circumstances. "Buddhism teaches that 'the mind is like a skilled painter' (WND-1, 226). It can freely depict anything. Life itself is a great painting depicted by our minds. It is a work of art created by our minds." SGI Newsletter No. 9185, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chapter 7: What Is Human Revolution? 7.7 We Transform Our Lives in Working with Others and in Adversity. From a speech delivered at the 6th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, December 16, 1996. From the January 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge.
