A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
May 14th-20th, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The effectiveness of the Mystic Law
is 100% guaranteed!
Such was the conviction
of President Makiguchi.
As SGI leaders,
let's be in the very midst of our activities.
And by offering sincere and genuine
words of encouragement
to those around us,
let's help everyone's
good fortune and benefit to blossom!

"When an evil ruler in consort with priests of erroneous teachings tries to destroy the correct teaching and do away with a man of wisdom, those with the heart of a lion king are sure to attain Buddhahood."
(Letter from Sado
- WND, Vol. 1, page 302)

"Mr. Toda also said with humour to another person: 'Practising this Buddhism guarantees that, no matter what your circumstances, you will ultimately realise a life state where you're so happy you won't know what to do! Now, if things were to improve like that right away, well, you'd have nothing left to do except die! It's good to experience challenges and hardships…. In the end, you are absolutely certain to attain a life state of incredible happiness and joy. It is faith in the Mystic Law and the benefit of engaging in Soka Gakkai activities that enable us to enjoy such lives.'
"And that is in fact the truth.
"Nichiren Daishonin declares: 'There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' (WND-1, 681). I hope you will have absolute conviction in this.
"Let's impart confidence, courage and hope to all! The Mystic Law and the Soka Gakkai hold the key."
