A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
March 25th - 31st, 2019
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"Kosen" as in kosen-rufu is
about diplomacy
- developing and expanding
good relations with others
(through sharing Nichiren
Buddhism and its philosophy).
The best "tool" to do this is our humanity;
using our youthful strength.
Let's take dynamic action
with courage and wisdom!
Let's be absolutely victorious
based on sincerity and perseverance!
*Kosen means to "widely declare." "Widely" implies speaking out to the
world, to an ever-greater number and ever-broader spectrum of people.
"Declare" means to proclaim one's ideals, principles and philosophy."
(Ref. - https://www.sgi.org/about-us/president-ikedas-writings/kosen-rufu.html)

"Mr. Toda and I together confirmed the meaning of 'the strategy of the Lotus Sutra' through the Daishonin's words, 'Have profound faith, a coward cannot have any of his prayers answered' (WND –1, 1001). In other words, we confirmed that faith in the Mystic Law is the highest truth. It is indestructible courage and an unassailable bastion of the heart. It is a struggle for the greatest good. It is the spirit of combating evil. It contains the essence of the art of leadership and principles for attaining victory."
The Eternal Citadel of Soka, The Infinite Power of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, from 27th December, 2018 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2019.
