A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
February 12th-18th, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin guides us in his writings,
"Let us discuss the question at length."*
Our discussion meetings
are directly connected to Nichiren Daishonin's spirit
and are indeed springboards for our lives.
Let's all, young people/future division and guests included,
advance joyfully together and win 'gold medals'
for all the challenges we face in life!
*"On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land" -
WND-I, page 7

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!"
(The Opening of the Eyes
- WND, Vol. 1, page 281)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No matter how dedicated you may be, if you practise faith with a joyless sense of obligation, are constantly stressed out, or your actions lack sound judgement, you will lose the trust of people in society and in fact do a disservice to Buddhism. Please be aware that thoughtless behaviour is the opposite conduct of a practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism."
