[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] Aug. 1st-7th Words of the Week, Aug. 1st Daily Gosho + 2nd Aug. Daily Encouragement

 

Sent to you from Venezia, Italy...

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

August 1st-7th, 2016
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
I place my palms together 
with the utmost of respect and appreciation
to all of our "uncrowned heroes and heroines", 
who deliver the Seikyo Newspaper
and/or all our other SGI publications.
Your unseen virtue, 
the great noble efforts you make 
behind the scenes,
will definitely bring about 
eternal victories in your lives
as visible reward.*
Let's, every one of us, advance 
"day by day and month after month"**
by using the Seikyo Shinbun 
and our other SGI publications!

*"Where there is unseen virtue, there will be visible reward." -  "Unseen Virtue and Visible Reward", WND-I, page 907
** "Strengthen your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage."
 -  "On Persecutions Befalling the Sage", WND-I, page 997

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Great events never have minor omens. When great evil occurs, great good follows. Since great slander already exists in our land, the great correct Law will spread without fail. What could any of you have to lament? Even if you are not the Venerable Mahākāshyapa, you should all perform a dance. Even if you are not Shāriputra, you should leap up and dance. When Bodhisattva Superior Practices emerged from the earth, did he not emerge dancing?"

(Great Evil and Great Good 
- WND, Vol. I, page 1119)

What was the greatest victory for Babe Ruth, who had won so many baseball games? Winning over his own weaknesses.
"The important thing is to set your own goals, make efforts in a way that is natural for you, and continue to press forwards."
