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

May 23rd-29th, 2016
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Kosen-rufu is achieved by unceasing efforts in
debate and discussion for the sake of justice.
What we need is undaunted courage and
the type of conviction that rocks people's hearts. 
Without sparing our voices,
let's cheerfully and confidently talk to others
about what our movement is all about!

"Nichiren's disciples cannot accomplish anything if they are cowardly."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Unfortunately, in today's society, people tend to ridicule those who are serious. Perhaps even some of you have a negative impression of someone who is described as "serious," and assume the person to be hard to approach.

"…But one thing is certain: if you are serious and do your best, you will gain self-confidence when you succeed. And even if you don't succeed immediately, your efforts will carry you further towards your goal, and help you in your next attempt. You will know the satisfaction of having tried your hardest, and have no regrets.

"Sincere people are truly admirable. They are sure to triumph in the end."

SGI Newsletter No. 9395, Spread Your Wings towards the Future, [16] Along a River in Bangkok, from 1st July, 2015, issue of the Mirai [Future] Journal, translation released 19th May, 2016
