A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. June 14th - 20th, 2015 -- Words of the Week -- Human revolution starts off with meeting other people. Kosen-rufu starts from engaging in dialogue with others. Let's introduce as many people as possible to the world of the Soka Family, where everyone can attain true happiness! Sunday, June 14th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life." (The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 283) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 14th, 2015 Monday, June 15th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Making offerings to the Lotus Sutra means living out our lives based on the Mystic Law. We practise and encourage others to practice the Mystic Law, which nourishes all things and makes their inherent Buddhahood shine. The resulting benefits are like the light of the sun and moon, giving rise to unsurpassed, inexhaustible value. "That's why the benefits attained by SGI members—who are striving tirelessly for kosen-rufu and the welfare of society, day after day, with unwavering faith in the Mystic Law—are immeasurable. In the light of the strict law of cause and effect in life, all their actions will become future good fortune and blossom unfailingly as visible reward arising from unseen virtue. No effort we make in our Buddhist practice is ever wasted." SGI Newsletter No. 9254, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory, [67] "The Two Kinds of Faith." The Buddhist Spirit of Placing Utmost Importance on the "Heart", from the October 2014 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 11th June, 2015 * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's web-site address at http://www.seikyoonline.jp/news/index.html -- KONSHU NO KOTOBA -- NINGEN KAKUMEI WA AU KOTO KARA KOSEN-RUFU WA KATARU KOTO KARA MINA GA KOFUKU O TSUKAMU SOKA KAZOKU NO SEKAI E HITORI DEMO OKU NO TOMO O! --- KYO NO GOSHO --- "WARE NARABINI WAGA DESHI SHONAN ARITOMO UTAGAU KOKORO NAKUBA JINENNI BUKKAI NI ITARUBESHI TEN NO KAGO NAKI KOTO O UTAGAWAZARE GENSE NO ANNON NARAZARU KOTO O NAGEKAZARE" (Gosho Zenshu - Page 234) |
