A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more. January 1st - 8th, 2017 -- Words of the Week -- Now, with the Buddhism of the Sun, let's continue to warmly illuminate humanity! Together with the youth of the SGI around the world, let's play out victorious dramas of human revolution! Let's expand the solidarity of hope we have! Sunday, January 1st, 2017 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "Now when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they become the Buddha Awesome Sound King." (Chapter Twenty: The Bodhisattva Never Disparaging - The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Vol. I, page 152) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shinbun, Jan. 1st, 2017 Monday, January 2nd, 2017 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "Nichiren Daishonin sent letters to many of his disciples, including Shijo Kingo and Nanjo Tokimitsu. The surviving letters included in the Gosho alone are surprisingly many. "What does this tell us? Quite simply, that these letters are expressions of the Daishonin's immense compassion, his determination to encourage each of his disciples as much as possible so that they could complete the path to attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime, no matter what happened. "If we were to remain alone, we'd be unable to gain inspiration in faith or encouragement from fellow members, and it would be very hard to achieve substantial personal growth or overcome challenges. "This is the reason that we place such importance on personally meeting and talking with members one to one to offer them guidance and encouragement." SGI Newsletter No. 9519, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 27: Chap. 2, Justice 65, translation released 20th Dec. 2016 * The Japanese kanji is available by clicking on Seikyo Shinbun's web-site address at http://www.seikyoonline.jp/news/index.html -- KONSHU NO KOTOBA -- SA TAIYO NO BUPPO DE JINRUI O TERASHI YUKO!

KIBO NO RENTAI NO KAKUDAI O! --- KYO NO GOSHO --- "IMA NICHIREN RA NO TAGUI NAM-MYOHO-RENGE-KYO TO TONAE TATEMATSURU IONNOBUTSU NARI" (Gosho Zenshu - Page 764) |
