A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shinbun and more.

It's the indomitable invincible spirit to struggle
against adversity that opens up a path
to future victories.
The Daishonin encourages us,
"When great evil occurs, great good follows."*
By chanting daimoku with
absolute unshakable conviction,
let's continue to cheerfully move forwards!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We chant with a vow for kosen-rufu. We chant and summon forth the life state of Buddhahood, and then meet and talk with others. In this way, we help others form a connection with Nichiren Buddhism. Even when old age or illness may prevent us from being physically active, we can still reach people's hearts through our daimoku."
SGI Newsletter No. 9341, Engaging in Joyful Dialogues That Illuminate Others' Hearts, from the February 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 18th Jan., 2016
