A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Sunday, May 24th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- First, let us as leaders challenge ourselves to break out of our shells. The waves of courage and joy that are created by using our initiative and setting an example to others naturally inspire and motivate our fellow members. Sunday, May 24th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "The ten directions are the 'environment,' and living beings are 'life.' To illustrate, the environment is like the shadow, and life, the body." (On Omens - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 644) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, May 24th, 2015 Monday, May 25th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "As our society ages, people are more earnestly seeking the right way to live and the path for making the final period of their lives more fulfilling and worthwhile. For this reason, it is becoming more important than ever to accumulate the treasures of the heart. And through our personal examples of dealing courageously with the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness, and death that are an inherent part of human existence, we can impart precious hope and courage, as well as the conviction of faith, to our families and the young people who will succeed us." SGI Newsletter No. 9244, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory, [66] "Encouragement to a Sick Person," The Joyous State of Being a Buddha in Life and a Buddha in Death, from the September 2014 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 19th 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-- MAZU "leader" GA KARA O YABURU CHOSEN O! SOSSEN SUIHAN NO KODO NI YORU YUKI TO KANKI NO HADO GA DOSHI O KOBU SURU! --- KYO NOTA GOSHO --- "SORE JIPPO WA EHO NARI SHUJO WA SHOHO NARI TATOEBA EHO WA KAGE NO GOTOSHI SHOHO WA TAI NO GOTOSHI" (Gosho Zenshu, page 1140)
