A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shinbun and more
March 9th-15th, 2015
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Our discussion meetings are
the golden pivot of kosen-rufu.
The more we talk to others,
the more momentum we create.
The more we praise one another,
the more capable people we raise.
With "faith," let's rouse ourselves into action!
With "unity," let's open up a path to victory!

"Concerning prayer, there are conspicuous prayer and conspicuous response, conspicuous prayer and inconspicuous response, inconspicuous prayer and inconspicuous response, and inconspicuous prayer and conspicuous response. But the only essential point is that, if you believe in this sutra, all your desires will be fulfilled in both the present and the future."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In the portion of the 'Life Span' (16th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra that we recite during morning and evening gongyo, it states that the light of the Buddha's wisdom shines without measure, and that the Buddha's life span is countless kalpas long (cf. LSOC16, 272).
"Those who encourage others are youthful. Each day dedicated to kosen-rufu shines for all eternity. As we strive together with the youth, let's radiate a youthful vitality and lead the most wonderful lives."
