A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more. Friday, January 13th, 2016 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- Let's all wholeheartedly support and encourage our young friends who are preparing hard for school entrance exams! From a winter of striving on our challenges to a spring of celebration and joy, together let's win each day and every single day! Friday, January 13th, 2016 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage." (On the Buddha's Prophecy - WND, Vol. I, page 402) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shinbun, Jan 13th, 2017 Saturday, January 14th, 2016 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "We have as our compass the brilliant philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism, which teaches that Buddhahood is a state of 'the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212), and the mentor-disciple relationship dedicated to the noble cause of kosen-rufu. On our voyage through our troubled world, we are able captains who confidently steer a course towards the land of peace and happiness, resolutely determined to overcome the raging waves of the 'three obstacles and four devils.' "My dear young friends! "Fellow Bodhisattvas of the Earth who possess youthful hearts! "The Daishonin declares: 'The "great vow" refers to the propagation of the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]' (OTT, 82). Let us, therefore, set forth joyfully, striving with unflagging cheer, to realise the great vow of expanding kosen-rufu. "Bound together by wondrous karmic ties, let us renew our commitment to our lifelong voyage in the grand adventure of worldwide kosen-rufu, or world peace. "Let us set sail towards the open seas of the glorious centennial of the Soka Gakkai's founding in 2030!"
