[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 29th June - 5th July 2015 Words of the Week, June 29th Daily Gosho + 30th June Daily Encouragement

 

A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. June 29th - July 5th, 2015 --- WORDS OF THE WEEK --- To all of our Young Women's Division members who are making a fresh new start full of hope, may you all be happily and cheerfully united like a ring of beautiful flowers. Please offer each other bright and warm words of encouragement just like sunlight!* By accumulating "the treasures of the heart," may you live your youthful days full of joy and fulfilment! (*)Here, the words "flowers" and "sunlight" refer to the Chinese reading of the characters used in the name for the "Kayo-kai" group, which literally means "Flower-Sun Group"and comprises all active young women's division members. Monday, June 29th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "A hundred years of practise in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practise in the impure world. Two thousand years of propagating Buddhism during the Former and Middle Days of the Law are inferior to an hour of propagation in the Latter Day of the Law." (On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 736) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 29th, 2015 Tuesday, June 30th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'What gives me joy? It is hearing from members about how happy or healthy they have become. Nothing delights me more.' "He also said: 'Becoming happy yourself is no great challenge; it's quite simple. But the essence of Nichiren Buddhism lies in helping others become happy, too.'"
