A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.
July 12th-19th, 2015
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
All of our young people have been making
outstanding progress!
The future of the SGI is steady as a rock.
Let's hold the type of discussion meetings
where everyone in the district,
brimming with that same fresh youthful spirit,
also aspires to challenge anew!

"This passage refers to the great joy that one experiences when one understands for the first time that one's mind from the very beginning has been a Buddha. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys."
(The Essential Passage in Each of the Twenty-eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra, Prophecy of Enlightenment for Five Hundred Disciples - The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 211)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 12th, 2015

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There are many people with healthy bodies whose lives are ailing. And there are also those who suffer from physical illness but whose lives are vibrant. As long as we are alive, we are bound to experience illness of some kind. That's why having the wisdom to know how to deal successfully with illness is so important."
SGI Newsletter No. 9263, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chapter 11: "Illness Gives Rise to the Resolve to Attain the Way," 11.1 Struggling with Illness Can Forge Invincible Spiritual Strength, from the June 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 6th July, 2015
