From getting seriously warm Richmond... A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun and more. Friday, August 12th, 2016 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- The extreme heat persists. Let' reassess our life styles and daily routine and wisely try to stay in good condition! Starting with a vigorous and refreshing gongyo, let's always make our health the top priority of each day! Friday, August 12th, 2016 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "The place where the person upholds and honours the Lotus Sutra is the 'place of practice' to which the person proceeds. It is not that he leaves his present place and goes to some other place." ("The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings", page 192) Selection Source: The New Human Revolution Seikyo Shinbun: 12th Aug., 2016 Saturday, August 13th, 2016 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Experiencing hardships allows us to develop ourselves as human beings. All of the efforts we make for kosen-rufu ultimately enrich our lives. "Nichiren Daishonin cites a simile used by the Great Teacher T'ien-t'ai: 'It will . . . be like a boar rubbing against the golden mountain' (WND-1, 770). This refers to the story of a wild boar envious and resentful of a golden mountain. The boar furiously tries to erase the mountain's brilliance by rasping its hide against it. But in doing so, it only succeeds in making the mountain shine all the brighter. Similarly, the more practitioners of the Lotus Sutra are tested by adversity, the more radiantly they shine." SGI Newsletter No. 9431, Creating the New Era (16) Spreading Hope through Dialogue, from 4th June, 2016, issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released 29th July, 2016 * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's http://www.seikyoonline.com/news/wagatomo/ -- WAGA TOMO NI OKURU -- MOSHO GA TSUZUKU.
