[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 4th - 10th Feb. 2018 Words of the Week, Feb. 4th Daily Gosho + 5th Feb. Daily Encouragement

 

A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

February 4th-10th, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"One is the mother of ten thousand."*
Inspiring just one single person starts
a chain reaction of hope and happiness 
for countless people.
Having lighthearted steps and 
sparing no words of encouragement,
let's kindle our friend's heart with courage!

*"Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man'" - WND-I, page 130

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The meaning of the earlier sutras is that clarity of mind is like the moon, and that purity of mind is like a flower. But it is not so with the Lotus Sutra. It is the teaching that the moon itself is mind, and the flower itself is mind."

(The Gift of Rice 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1126)
Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin", 
Seikyo Shinbun, Feb. 4th, 2018

"Buddhism is manifested in society. We need to bear in mind, from here on, that making positive contributions to the community is integral to kosen-rufu."

New Human Revolution — Volume 27, Fierce Struggle 39, translation released December 2017
