[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] Oct 31st-Nov 6th, 2016 Words of the Week, Oct 31st Daily Gosho and Nov 1st Daily Encouragement

 

* Just a quick reminder that we don't always finish the guidances from one particular SGI Newsletter as our promise is to always give you the very latest guidances so please be sure to look out for the same newsletter in your local SGI publication! Hope you have an exciting week!…

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

October 31st - November 6th, 2016
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The heart of Soka is "the true cause" -
(to begin afresh, from now and move forwards.)
Everyday is a challenge and an opportunity
to create value.
By chanting daimoku with concrete targets
and putting our faith into action right away,
let's all adorn the month of
the Soka Gakkai's founding with victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When we revere Myoho-renge-kyo inherent in our own life as the object of devotion, the Buddha nature within us is summoned forth and manifested by our chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is what is meant by 'Buddha'."

(How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way
Can Attain Buddhahood
through the Lotus Sutra
- WND, Vol. I, page 887)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",
Seikyo Shimbun, October 31st , 2016

Tuesday, November 1st, 2016
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In the realm of Buddhism, receiving benefits has nothing to do with one's organisational position. One's actions, one's faith and practice, are what matter."

SGI Newsletter No. 9479, SGI President Ikeda's Speech Excerpts, from 18th Oct., 2016, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 28th Oct. 2016
