A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Friday, June 12th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- It's at SGI discussion meetings that we can find inspiration and become motivated. At the same time there is that great harmonious joy to be experienced. Let's all gather together in the best of good cheer and create an atmosphere where dialogue blossoms in abundant profusion! Friday, June 12th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "I say this for your sake. I know your faith has always been admirable, but now you must strengthen it more than ever. Only then will the ten demon daughters lend you even greater protection." (The Supremacy of the Law - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, page 614) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 12th, 2015 Saturday, June 13th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Our grassroots movement to promote dialogue among ordinary people who share a wish for peace is breaking the cycle of violence and fostering and creating new friendships that will open the way to a brighter future for all humankind. "This great achievement and undertaking began with steady one-on-one encouragement, which in fact is one of the most distinctive features of Buddhism. "The American futurist Hazel Henderson once asked me why the SGI movement has spread on such a global scale. I told her it was because we have always treasured and respected each individual.[1] "Encouragement ignites a flame of hope in people's hearts. It awakens courage and draws forth the strength to break through limitations. "Encouragement is a wellspring of revitalisation. It is the door to transformation and the great path to victory. It is the light of hope, the voice of courage, and the way to build the future." SGI Newsletter No. 9254, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory, [67] "The Two Kinds of Faith." The Importance of Moving Forwards without Ever Regressing in Faith, from the October 2014 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 11th June, 2015 [1] Cf. Hazel Henderson and Daisaku Ikeda, Planetary Citizenship: Your Values, Beliefs, and Actions Can Shape a Sustainable World (Santa Monica, California: Middleway Press, 2004), pp. 46–47. * 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 -- SOKA NO ZADANKAI NIWA SHINJIN NO SHOKUHATSU GA ARU.
