[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 19th Feb. 2019 To My Friends & Daily Gosho + 20th Feb. Daily Encouragement

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

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who have newly started
(this Buddhist practice)
possess fresh and innate strengths.
The key to bringing out their capabilities
lies in respecting, trusting, and encouraging them.
Let's cherish and nurture all of them
to become outstanding capable people
for kosen-rufu!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"As long as the mentor and disciples dedicated to kosen-rufu are strongly united in spirit, the solidarity of the Soka Gakkai will remain unshaken by even the fiercest storms. That is why frank and open dialogue is essential. It is a source of inspiration that awakens people to their mission and fosters ties of trust."
The New Human Revolution—Volume 30, Awaiting the Time 4, translation released January 2019
