Apologies for the delay we are in the Cotswolds of England and the Wi-Fi is not so fantastic!
A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
-- Words of the Week --
Let's keep up with and support
local events in our community.
At the same time,
let's keep a fresh open mind
in developing good relations
with our neighbours.
Let's try to expand
the circle of trust
in our immediate surroundings,
by showing our sincere behaviour
as a human being.*
*"What does BodhisattvaNever Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of ShakyamuniBuddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being." - "The Three Kinds of Treasure", WND-I, page 852

"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practice."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"All sorts of things will occur on the journey of kosen-rufu. Changes will take place—including, of course, in leadership. The key is to keep pressing forwards steadily towards our goal, without being swayed by various occurrences. That's the Soka Gakkai spirit, after all.
