A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.
Tuesday, Feb 2nd, 2016 --- TO MY FRIENDS --- I am counting on those in leadership roles to make thorough preparations towards
the success of all our meetings and other activities.The overflowing sense of joy and determination that people experience from participating in activities is what drives and fuels our momentum towards victory!
Tuesday, Feb 2nd, 2016 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path.." (Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain - WND. Vol.I, page 598) Selection source: New Human Revolution, Seikyo Shimbun, February 2, 2016

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "The Daishonin cites the famous passage: 'If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present' (WND-1, 279)."...My heart thrills at the thought of how the seeds we are sowing day after day - fostering capable people, helping others form a connection with Nichiren Buddhism, and promoting activities for peace - will continue to bloom luxuriously on into the future."SGI Newsletter No. 9347, Creating the New Era, (3) With a Lofty Vow in Your Hearts, Hold High the Banner of Kosen-rufu!, from 22nd Jan., 2016, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 29th Jan., 2016
