A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
Sep. 25th - Oct. 1st, 2017
-- Words of the Week --
Our faith and practice is about courage.
Victory in the challenges we face
is determined by the momentum we have.
Brimming with abundant life force,
let's speak to as many people as we can
(about what our movement is trying to do),
without hesitation!
Just as the Daishonin encourages us,
"The voice carries out the work of the Buddha."*
*OTT, page 4

"In view of the accuracy of his prediction, can there be any doubt that ... the great pure Law of the Lotus Sutra will be spread far and wide throughout Japan and all the other countries of Jambudvīpa?"

"By embracing the Mystic Law and devoting our lives to fulfilling the great vow for kosen-rufu and realising the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land,' our lives acquire, without our even being aware of it, a fragrance as lofty and refined as orchids. Our dialogues start from compassionate prayer for others' happiness. When we base our lives on the Mystic Law, all of our efforts to reach out to, speak with, and enable others to form a connection with Buddhism will help them reveal their own inner potential."
SGI Newsletter No. 9710, The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [22] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 2, "A Friend in the Orchid Room"—One Who Shows Compassion and Empathy, from the February 2017 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 20th Sep. 2017
