A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Wednesday, June 17th, 2015 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Our Youth Division members are really challenging to share this Buddhism with others. Let's, Men's and Women's Division members, also be of the same mind and spirit and offer warm, heartfelt words of encouragement and support! The perfect unity of the Soka Family is the driving force for spreading the kosen-rufu movement far and wide. Wednesday, June 17th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Third, treating one's friends with courtesy means that, although one may encounter them ten or twenty times in the course of a single day, one greets them courteously as though they had travelled a thousand or two thousand miles to see one, never showing them indifference." (The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 2, page 636) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 17th, 2015 Thursday, June 18th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Sincere efforts of 'unseen virtue' bring incalculable 'visible reward.' And, as Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Though one's trustworthiness may at first go unnoticed, in time it will be openly rewarded' (WND-2, 636). "Each person who exerts themselves for kosen-rufu accumulates immeasurable 'treasures of the heart' (WND-1, 851). In addition, the good fortune and benefit they attain will spread not only to all with whom they have shared Nichiren Buddhism, but also to the communities where they have achieved brilliant victories." SGI Newsletter No. 9255, Dynamically Advancing into the New Era, (14) Accumulating Immeasurable "Treasures of the Heart," from 19th April, 2015, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun translation released 12th June, 2015. * 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-- SEINENBU GA GUKYO NI FUNTO! SOFU MO ITTAI TO NATTE MAGOKOTO NO HAGEMASHI O! SOKA KAZOKU NO DANKETSU KOSO KOFU KAKUDAI NO GENDORYOKU NARI! --- KYO NO GOSHO --- "SAN NIWA TOMO NI AUTE REI ARE TOWA TOMODACHI NO ICHINICHI NI JUDO NIJUDO KITARERU HITO NARITOMO SENRI NISENRI KITARERU HITO NO GOTOKU OMOUTE REIGI ISASAKA OROKANI OMOU BEKARAZU" (Gosho Zenshu - Page 1527) |
