[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 14th May 2015 To My Friends and Daily Gosho plus 15th May Daily Enc.

 

A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Thursday, May 14th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Our deepest appreciation and gratitude goes out to those responsible for supporting all the activities surrounding our simultaneous broadcasts! Thanks to your flawless and accident free efforts our movement for kosen-rufu continues to gain momentum. The benefits that you accrue because of your noble efforts are certain to shine brilliantly forever! Thursday, May 14th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- In light of all this, it would seem that, when one who is able to show clearly visible proof in the present expounds the Lotus Sutra, there also will be persons who will believe. Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, May 14th, 2015 (Letter to Hōren, Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume 1, pg 512) Friday, May 15th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "'There were two brothers named Chudapanthaka [who were both disciples of Shakyamuni]. When the name Chudapanthaka was called, either would answer. You three believers [Ota Saemon, the lay priest Soya Kyoshin, and the Dharma Bridge Kimbara [1]] are like them. When any one of you comes, I feel as though all three of you were here with me.' - From "Lessening One's Karmic Retribution" (WND-1, 199). "Here, Nichiren Daishonin unstintingly praises the staunch unity demonstrated by three of his leading disciples. "Our Soka family is a harmonious realm where everyone warmly encourages and supports one another like brothers and sisters. Let us always strive together in friendship and camaraderie. The lives of those who do so will shine with immeasurable benefit. "The unity of our members—many diverse individuals joined together in a shared purpose—is what powers the development of kosen-rufu. "Let's work together to write a new triumphant page in the annals of our movement.
