A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun and more February 2nd - 8th, 2015 -- WORDS OF THE WEEK -- "This February Shakubuku Campain* is about challenging myself to break through my self-imposed limitations to share this Buddhism with others!" The Daishonin teaches, "The seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions."** Let's courageously engage ourselves in dialogue with others and continue helping as many people as we can to form a connection with Buddhism! Let's happily create a golden history of our own by meeting people and cultivating new friendships. *For the February Shakubuku Campaign, please refer to the New Human Revolution Volume 3, "Light of Peace" chapter, page 272 through 274 **"It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions, and for this reason they preach the single vehicle.'" - "The Properties of Rice", WND-I, page 1117 Monday, February 2nd, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet." (On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land -The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume I, page 17) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 2nd, 2015 Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Being alone only intensifies our sadness and makes it harder to relieve. "People are social beings. Our interactions with one another are what make us fully human; they mutually enrich us. "Certainly, there may be times when being a member of an organisation seems bothersome and we just want to be alone. But if we actually seclude ourselves from others, and that leads us to stop practicing, how much sadder and lonelier we would be! "We achieve growth through interacting with our fellow human beings, sharing one another's ups and downs, joys and sufferings, in a lively human world." 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. Translation re-released Jan. 26th, 2015. * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's web-site address at http://www.seikyoonline.jp/news/index. -- KONSHU NO KOTOBA -- WATASHI JISHIN NO NIGATSU TOSO DA! "BUSSHU WA EN NI YOTTE OKORU" ISANDE TAIWA NI UTTE DETE BUTSUEN O HIROGE YUKO. OGON NO KOYUROKU O TANOSHIKU! --- KYO NO GOSHO --- "SOYO KIBINI FUSHITE BANRI O WATARI HEKIRA SHOTO NI KAKARITE SENJIN O NOBU" (Gosho Zenshu, page 26)
