A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Tuesday, May 19th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Home visits and words of encouragement to members both before and after meetings are vital. Let's listen carefully to the struggles of each and every member as well as pay close attention to their opinions! It's always that one wave that leads to tens of thousands. Tuesday, May 19th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo." (On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412) Selection source: Teachings of Buddhism, Seikyo Shimbun, May 2nd, 2015 Wednesday, May 20th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "With smiles radiating conviction, members share inspiring experiences in faith at discussion meetings, confidently assuring others that they, too, can change themselves and transform their circumstances. "Our Soka family has built a realm of mutual support and encouragement—a realm built of, by, and for the people. It is the vibrant earth that supports, nurtures, and fosters young people. Let us welcome even more young people into this safe haven of the heart that overflows with the compassionate spirit to relieve suffering and impart joy. Fostering and empowering young people is the key to revitalising society and the world." SGI Newsletter No. 9243, My Young Friends, Establish a Solid Foundation of Faith!, from the June 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 15th May, 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 -- KAIGO NO ZENGO NO HOMON GEKIREI GA TAISETSU DA.
