A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more. Wednesday, July 1st, 2015 --- TO MY FRIENDS --- The pace and momentum set by the leaders is the propelling force by which the organisation grows and develops. Making a rock solid determination as if we had been born again let's be right in the hub of where activities are taking place! Now is the time to initiate fresh new waves of action! Wednesday, July 1st, 2015 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "The dove has changed into a hawk, the sparrow into a clam. How gratifying! You have associated with a friend in the orchid room and have become as straight as mugwort growing among hemp." (On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 23) Selection source: Teachings of Buddhism, Seikyo Shimbun, June 23rd, 2015 Thursday, July 2nd, 2015 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "In 'The Opening of the Eyes,' Nichiren Daishonin proclaims: 'I will be the pillar of Japan. I will be the eyes of Japan. I will be the great ship of Japan. This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!' (WND-1, 280–81). "Today, we of the SGI, making this spirit our own, are striving to realise kosen-rufu and the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.' We are truly the 'pillar' of peace, the 'eyes' of education, and the 'great ship' of culture for the entire world. "Let us live with pride and confidence. Let us strive fearlessly. "We are all pioneers of the noble cause of kosen-rufu. Right now, we are creating a history of shared struggle that will shine on for all eternity. All of our hard work and effort has value and meaning; nothing is wasted. Those who can declare that they have been true to their vow and done their best are victors, whatever anyone else may say." SGI Newsletter No. 9258, Dynamically Advancing into the New Era, (15) Press Forward toward the Summit of Honour and Triumph, from 25th April, 2015, issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released 24th 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-- LEADER NO IKIOI GA SOSHIKI HATTEN NO GENDORYOKU DA. UMEREKAWATTA KETSUI DE SAIZENSEN NI UTTE DEYO! ARATANA HADO O OKOSE! --- KYO NO GOSHO --- "HATO KESHITE TAKA TO NARI SUZUME HENJITE HAMAGURI TO NARU YOROKOBASHIKI KANA NANJI RANSHITSU NO TOMO NI MAJIWARITE MAHO NO SHO TO NARU" (Gosho Zenshu, page 31) |
