*Apologies for the day before yesterday's edition's late arrival ...so many people around the world were sending New Year messages that it caused Yahoo to block up for 36 hours and more!
A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
January 1st-6th, 2019
-- Words of the Week --
Each and every one of us
is a Boddhisattva of the Earth.
We are the wise who demonstrate
the Buddhist principle
"faith equals daily life."
We are the heroes who prove
"Buddhism manifests itself in society."
We are the sun dedicating ourselves to
"kosen-rufu promoting peace."
Let's boldly play out
dramas of victory with these
inseparable realities!

"Now when Nichiren chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, he is enabling all living beings to attain Buddhahood in the ten thousand years of the Latter Day of the Law."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, states: 'The wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' (WND-1, 842). When we align our lives with the Mystic Law, there is absolutely no difficulty or obstacles that we cannot overcome. With this great conviction, let's continue to chant, challenge ourselves and press forwards victoriously."
