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

November 26th-December 2nd , 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Let's live out our lives boldly

and with confidence!
Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo

is like the invincible roar of a lion.

Making the firm decision to be victorious,
let's unceasingly chant daimoku!
Aiming towards outright glorious victory,
let's advance with the heart of a lion king!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The body is the palace of the ninth consciousness, the unchanging reality that reigns over all of life's functions."

(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon

- WND, Vol. 1, page 832)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'As life does not go beyond the moment, the Buddha expounded the blessings that come from a single moment of rejoicing [on hearing the Lotus Sutra]' (WND-1, 62; 'Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra'). Making a fresh determination in faith right now, at this moment, can transform everything."

The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, [32] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 12, Making the Causes for Future Victory, December 2017 edition of Daibyaku-renge, translation released August 2018
