A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.
July 6th-12th, 2015
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
With unshakable faith and confidence in the Mystic Law
and a great vow for kosen-rufu
through the compassionate propagation of the great Law,
our daimoku infused with such strong conviction and commitment
will definitely open up a path for us.
Let's summon up the great power of
the Bodhisattvas of the Earth from within!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Each person's life is precious and irreplaceable. All human beings experience the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death. We are all fellow inhabitants of planet Earth at this particular moment in time. In the dimension of life, everyone is equal; there are no economic or social distinctions.
"When we view everything from the universal criteria of life, we can communicate, as one human being to another, with anyone.
"The Lotus Sutra regards one-to-one dialogue as one of the noblest activities for developing our character and humanity. Shakyamuni states:
"If one of these good men or good women in the time after I have passed into extinction is able to secretly expound the Lotus Sutra to one person, even one phrase of it, then you should know that he or she is the envoy of the Thus Come One. He has been dispatched by the Thus Come One and carries out the Thus Come One's work. (LSOC10, 200–201)"
"In other words, those who make sincere efforts to talk about the Lotus Sutra (Nam-myoho-renge-kyo) for the sake of one person, one friend, are envoys of the Thus Come One, of the Buddha.
