A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. June 1st - 7th, 2015 -- Words of the Week -- Let's cheer on and applaud our Women's Division members for holding the world's foremost general meetings. It's such gatherings, full of bright smiles, that encourage blossoms of happiness and hope to spread far and wide. Hurray for our suns of peace! Monday, June 1st, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "As practice progresses and understanding grows, the three obstacles and four devils emerge in confusing form, vying with one another to interfere . . . One should be neither influenced nor frightened by them." (Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 501) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 1st, 2015 Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president, Josei Toda, said: 'Suffering is a part of life. Without suffering, we wouldn't be able to savour true enjoyment or pleasure. When we fully grasp this, being alive in itself becomes enjoyable. That is the ultimate purpose of our Buddhist practice.' "He also said: 'Any organisation or group, as it grows, will experience various problems and mishaps. This is inevitable. But the power of the Mystic Law enables us to solve such issues and ensure that our organisation continues to develop. This is the way of value creation."
