A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
January 1st - 7th, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
As members of the world's
greatest SGI family, let's determine
to renew our resolve in our faith and practice
of the Mystic Law day after day,
to challenge ourselves together with the youth
and to continue to advance
with our precious fellow members
each and every day.
Let's make 2018 the greatest year of all
where everyone prospers, is successful,
and shines most brilliantly!

"Though the baby fish are many, there are few that grow up to be big fish. Though the flowers of the mango tree are many, there are few that turn into fruit. In like manner, there are many people who set their hearts on enlightenment, but only a few who continue their practice and in fact attain the true way."
(The Fourteen Slanders
- WND, Vol. 1, page 758)
