* Tomorrow is a Japanese national press holiday to give those involved in producing and delivering a paper a short break. Therefore "Words of the Week" appears one day earlier.
A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
July 8th-15th, 2018
— WORDS OF THE WEEK —
The SGI is a community where
everyone encourages each other
in both good and bad times.
With our solidarity of good friends,
let's advance no matter what happens
by changing poison into medicine!
Let's offer warm heartfelt
words of encouragement
to those who are presently facing hardship!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When talking to others about Buddhism, Mr. Makiguchi often said: 'You don't enter into faith; you go out into the world of faith.'
"in other words, true faith does not mean being confined by restrictive, limiting formalities. It means to break through the cycle of suffering and, with a vast, open spirit, soar freely into a realm of joy and good fortune.
"It was Mr. Makiguchi's heartfelt wish to enable all people to spread wings of value creation leading to hope and happiness."
Forging Ahead in the New Era, (29) Take Pride in Buddhist Study and Spread the great Joy of Life! from the 22nd may, 2018 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2018
