A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun and more. Sunday, November 20th, 2016 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Beginning with those who have recently become members, let's direct our very warmest support and encouragement towards our fresh new dedicated capable members of kosen-rufu! Always basing ourselves on the three basics of faith, practice and study, together, let's advance along the greatest path to victory and success! Sunday, November 20th, 2016 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "It is clear that those who now believe in the Lotus Sutra will gather fortune from ten thousand miles away." (New Year's Gosho - WND, Vol. I, page 1137) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shinbun, November 20th, 2016 Monday, November 21st, 2016 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "A hundred out of a hundred, a thousand out of a thousand—all will attain Buddhahood, without exception (cf. WND-1, 1009).[1] This is the Daishonin's absolute promise. "Nichiren Buddhism is a universal religion, open to people everywhere. It seeks to create a harmonious and peaceful world in which everyone attains enlightenment, becomes happy, and thrives together. That's why it can play an important role in realising world peace. "For the sake of world peace and the happiness of all humankind, we must never allow the Soka Gakkai to be destroyed. "Let us continue to forge ahead confidently and joyfully, striving together in harmony and high spirits, in vigour and health. "I hope that, as leaders of our movement, you will do everything you can to help each one of our precious members become happy. Your efforts to protect the Soka Gakkai and SGI will delight the Daishonin above all else."
