A translation of "Word of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
July 24th-30th, 2017
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
What propels the movement of kosen-rufu
is the words that we speak and write.
Let's have some really sincere conversations
with friends
Starting off with chanting daimoku
for their happiness.
Let's drop them a line with honest caring words.
By refreshing our minds,
let's spend a great summer
creating and cultivating friendships
with many others!

"The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff. I, Nichiren, have inscribed my life in sumi ink, so believe in the Gohonzon with your whole heart."

"Efforts to share the Daishonin's Buddhism with others are also an opportunity for growth. Doing so is challenging, but this means that we can polish our character and grow, and can come to shine as truly capable champions of Kosen -rufu."
