A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more. Thursday, January 5th, 2017 -- TO MY FRIENDS -- If we're truly youthful, then we must live up to our ideals! We must fulfil our unique missions! Starting with sincere and earnest Daimoku let us challenge the goals and targets that we ourselves have set before us! Thursday, January 5th, 2017 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "If you propagate it, devils will arise without fail. If they did not there would be no way of knowing that this is the correct teaching." (Letter to the Brothers - WND, Vol 1, page 501) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin," Seikyo Shinbun, Jan. 5th, 2017 Friday, January 6th, 2017 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Myo [of myoho, the Mystic Law] means to revive, that is, to return to life' (WND-1, 149). Whatever the time or place, those who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo can bring the sun of time without beginning—the brilliance of their innate Buddhahood—to shine in their lives. Therefore, no matter what our age, we can always live in a way that is true to ourselves with a fresh and completely rejuvenated life force. "The Daishonin assures us: 'You will grow younger, and your good fortune will accumulate' (WND-1, 464). For us, each passing year brings greater joy and fulfilment as we strive with a youthful spirit to vibrantly expand our state of life, heighten our efforts to connect others to Buddhism, and increase our good fortune."
