A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and lots more. Tuesday, January 17th, 2017 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- As leaders, it is absolutely vital that we chant, more sincerely and more earnestly than anyone else, for the safety and well-being of our fellow members! With the unyielding resolution that we will keep all devilish functions at bay, let's create iron-clad solidarity between us! Tuesday, January 17th, 2017 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Those resolved to seek the way should gather (and listen to the contents of this letter)." ("Letter from Teradomari", WND-1, page 206) Selection Source: Suntetsu Seikyo Shinbun: January 17th, 2017 Wednesday, January 18th, 2017 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "One who, on hearing the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, makes even greater efforts in faith is a true seeker of the way. T'ien-t'ai states, 'From the indigo, an even deeper blue.'[1] - From "Hell Is the Land of Tranquil Light" (WND-1, 457). "Our practice of Nichiren Buddhism is the engine for unceasing growth and development. "'This year, I will challenge myself with a renewed spirit!' 'I will push to achieve a breakthrough in my life!'—such fresh determinations will enable you to open the way to victory based on the simultaneity of cause and effect. "Striving to make even greater efforts in faith is the essence of Nichiren Buddhism. By recommitting to our practice each day and continually challenging ourselves, we can imbue our lives with the eternally brilliant hues of Buddhahood."
