A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Tuesday, June 30th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- No matter how deep our karma might be it is certain that we can overcome it, that is the power and strength of the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin! By chanting with immovable conviction let's strive to achieve results with determined and focussed action! Tuesday, June 30th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "It is the heart that is important. No matter how earnestly Nichiren prays for you, if you lack faith, it will be like trying to set fire to wet tinder. Spur yourself to muster the power of faith." (The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra WND-1, page 1000) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's essay, Seikyo Shimbun, June 8th, 2015 Wednesday, July 1st, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "All of you who are striving earnestly for kosen-rufu are 'foremost among all living beings' (LSOC23, 327). Wearing the badge of honour of noble lives praised by all Buddhas, let's forge ahead towards even greater victory in life. "In order to build invincible, ever-victorious bastions of kosen-rufu and life, let's advance with the undefeatable spirit demonstrated by the Daishonin when he declared: 'Still I am not discouraged' (WND-1, 748). "I am constantly praying that all our members will lead long, healthy, and fulfilling lives and enjoy boundless and immeasurable good fortune."
