A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
April 2nd-8th, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The new (school and fiscal) year
has begun.*
With a refreshed spirit
as if we were reborn,
let's make a dynamic new start,
with the roar of a lion
engraved with the words of Josei Toda
"Live your life boldly!"
*In Japan, and some other countries, April 1st is the beginning of a new fiscal and school year.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"During the Atsuhara Persecution, Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, called out fervently to the 21-year-old Nanjo Tokimitsu: 'My wish is that all my disciples make a great vow' (WND-1, 1003). He also shared with him a passage from the Lotus Sutra: 'We beg that the merit (we have) gained…may be spread far and wide to everyone, so that we and other living beings all together may attain the Buddha way' (LSOC7, 168).
"When we chant Nam-myoho-remge-kyo and strive to realise the great vow for kosen-rufu, our lives are one with the Mystic Law and the Buddha, and will not fail to overflow with the positive power of benefit as vast as the universe.
"That is why we can triumph over all trials and obstacles that arise, and surely and steadily lead our families, friends, and others with whom we share a connection to the path of eternal happiness—the path of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime."
