[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] June 22nd, 2018 To My Friends & Daily Gosho + June 23rd Daily Encouragement

 

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

Friday, June 22nd, 2018
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Chanting daimoku is the key 
to manifesting our wisdom and courage.
It's the way to challenge 
not giving up or giving in.  
Let's chant with the absolute conviction that
"I will prove that I can overcome 
the present situation, I will transform it 
into a positive situation"

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff."

(Reply to Kyō'ō 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 412)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"To lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, it's important that we continually return to the basics and consider the direction we should be heading. This means thinking about such questions as 'How do I best live my life?' 'What is my life's true purpose?' 'What are the key principles for realising peace?' In other words having the foundation of a solid philosophy is crucial."

Vow 13, The New Human Revolution—Vol.30, translation released June 2018
