* There is a Japanese national press holiday tomorrow so "Words of the Week" appears today. There will be no "To My Friends" tomorrow but there is still some great Daily Encouragement to come!
A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
June 11th-18th, 2017
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Belief is the seed of wisdom."*
There is no such thing as deadlock
when we employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra.
By chanting daimoku bravely and vigorously,
let's overcome our self imposed limitations
with wisdom and joy!
*Chapter Four: Belief and Understanding - The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 55

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."
(The Opening of the Eyes-
WND, Vol. I, page 283)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Many people do their best to become happy. But just trying hard doesn't guarantee they'll succeed in doing so. Why is it, then, that though people make the same kind of efforts, some become happy and some don't? It comes down to good fortune. If we have good fortune, our efforts will be rewarded and we will enjoy the fruits of happiness."
SGI Newsletter No. 9631, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 27: Chap. 3, Fierce Struggle 12, translation released 9th June, 2017
