A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Thursday, Mar 5th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Happiness is not something that we seek "somewhere."

Thursday, Mar 5th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- Therefore, the best way to attain Buddhahood is to encounter a good friend." (Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 598) Selection source: Teachings of Buddhism, Seikyo Shimbun, March 5th, 2015 Friday, Mar 6th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Nothing is wasted in faith. One never loses out. Please be confident that through your efforts to help others and promote Buddhism, you are accumulating immense treasures of good fortune in your life. This is what is meant by inconspicuous benefit. "For that reason, I hope you will advance with youthful vigour. Youthfulness is an unsurpassed source of strength, a precious treasure, the greatest triumph. . . .
