A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
January 22nd-28th, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
All of our YWD members,
who are holding their "Roman" general meetings,
(inviting their friends
and sharing this Buddhism with them,
throughout Japan and around the world,)
are heralding the spring of Soka.
The Daishonin teaches us,
"'Joy' means that oneself and others
together experience joy."*
Please spread the light of friendship
and inspiration widely
in society and into the future!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Faith is the foundation for everything. As the Daishonin reminds us: 'It is the heart that is important' (WND-1, 1000). Living in this corrupt age of the Latter Day of the Law, and struggling in our disordered society, all our strategies and actions need to be rooted in faith in the Mystic Law.
"This doesn't mean that the only thing we have to do is pray. Precisely because we are practising Nichiren Buddhism, we need to be vigilant and win in the harsh challenges of society. The 'strategy of the Lotus Sutra' is what allows us to accomplish this. We are learning and honing the essence of 'faith for absolute victory' in our real-life struggles and activities for kosen-rufu."
