[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] Words of the Week June 8th-14th, 2015 Daily Gosho June 8th & Daily Enc. June 9th

 

A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. June 8th - 14th, 2015 -- Words of the Week -- "Leaders" are always at the very forefront of our activities! Compassion is all about freeing one from suffering and bringing one joy.* Let's give the type of encouragement that is awakening for those who are facing hardships right now and inspires them to change their karma into a sense of mission and transforms any and all despair into hope! *"... it is this doctrine of three thousand realms in a single moment of life that is capable of freeing one from suffering and bringing one joy." - OTT, page 173 Monday, June 8th, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind, they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra." (Many in Body, One in Mind- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 618) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 8th, 2015 Tuesday, June 9th, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "A religion whose essential spirit is not passed on invariably becomes rigid, ritualistic, and authoritarian; it loses its vital essence, falls into decline, and ultimately disappears. "Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'It is the heart that is important' (WND-1, 1000). People's hearts, their spirit, are the driving force for kosen-rufu." SGI Newsletter No. 9250, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 27: Chap. 2, Justice 7, translation released 3rd 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 -- "Leader" WA SAIZENSEN E! JIHI TO WA BAKKU YORAKU DA. "SHUKUMEI" O "SHIMEI" NI "ZETSUBO" O "KIBO" NI MENO SAMERU GEKIREI O! --- KYO NO GOSHO --- "NICHIREN GA ICHIRUI WA ITAIDOSHIN NAREBA HITOBITO SUKUNAKU SORAEDOMO DAIJI O JOJITE ICHIJO HOKEKYO HIROMARINANTO OBOE SORO" (Gosho Zenshu, page 1463)
