[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 5th Feb. 2015 To My Friends & Daily Gosho plus 6th Feb. 2015 Daily Enc.

 

A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Thursday, Feb 5th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Without challenging oneself there is no success. First things first, let's decide to throw ourselves completely into any and every challenge that comes our way! The wall that really must be surmounted is the wall of cowardice that encloses our hearts! Thursday, Feb 5th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone heard or seen of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a believer in the Lotus Sutra who turned into an ordinary person. The sutra reads, 'If there are those who hear the Law, then not a one will fail to attain Buddhahood.'" (Winter Always Turns to Spring - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 536) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 5th, 2015 Friday, Feb 6th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "When we gain a correct understanding of the teachings and principles of Nichiren Buddhism, we will not be swayed at a crucial moment. Using the bright mirror of Buddhism, we will be able to clearly see the onslaughts of devilish functions for what they are. Study builds a strong framework for maintaining our Buddhist practice throughout our lives." SGI Newsletter No. 9193, Humanistic Teachings for Victory, Leading Lives of Happiness and Victory Based on the Foremost Philosophy of Life, Continue Learning for the Sake of Victory, from 4th Sep., 2013, issue of the Soka Shimpo, translation released 31st Jan. 2015 * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's web-site address at http://www.seikyoonline.jp/news/index.html --WAGATOMO NI OKURU -- CHOSEN NAKUSHITE SEIKO NASHI.
