Brought to you from Tenby, Wales... A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun and more. Saturday, August 20th, 2016 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Having a heart full of appreciation is what enriches our lives. To all of our youth, try your utmost to excel at respecting and taking good care of your parents. Acknowledging the debt of gratitude that we owe our mother and father, let's live out our lives fulfilling the vow that we made! Saturday, August 20th, 2016 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "This I will state. Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions assail me. Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law." (The Opening of the Eyes - WND, Vol. I, page 280) Selection source: For Youth Division Buddhist Study Exam, Seikyo Shimbun, August 20th, 2016 Sunday, August 21st, 2016 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "The home of one of our Tohoku Many Treasures Group members, which was regularly used as a meeting place for Soka Gakkai activities, was swept away during the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Though this dedicated pioneer member was forced to move into temporary housing, she cheerfully continued to encourage her fellow members and residents in her local community. She says: 'I vowed to myself: "I will dedicate my life to kosen-rufu and to the happiness of others. My real life starts from here and now!" As a result, I can't wait to get up in the morning. Leading a winning life together with the Soka Gakkai is my greatest pride and honour!" "The Soka Gakkai is a network of ordinary people built through the arduous efforts of such steadfast Bodhisattvas of the Earth. Let us be proud of this great bastion of peace, culture, and education, the shining hope of humanity, as a symbol of our victorious lives. "The treasures of the heart are eternally indestructible. Our commitment to kosen-rufu will inspire our successors and be carried on by them into the future." SGI Newsletter No. 9434, May the Joy of Victory Shine in the Lives of Our Many Treasures Group Members, from the September 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 17th Aug., 2016 * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's web-site address at http://www.seikyoonline.jp/news/index.html -- WAGATOMO NI OKURU -- "KANSHA NO KOKORO" GA JINSEI O YUTAKA NI SURU.

CHICHI HAHA NO ON O SHIRI CHIKAI O TSURANUKU JINSEI O! --- KYO NO GOSHO --- "SENZURU TOKOROWA TEN MO SUTE TAMAE SHONAN NIMO AE SHIMMYO O GOTO SEN" (Gosho Zenshu - Page 232) |
