* Tomorrow is a national press holiday in Japan so "Words of the Week" is being run today. Don't worry we will be sending you everything else minus "To My Friends" tomorrow!…  

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

April 14th-21st, 2019
-- WORDS of the WEEK --
Our solidarity as ordinary people 
is indeed an unshakable pillar 
of the country.
Taking pride in what we believe in,
let's engage in dialogue 
while cheerfully deepening our 
bonds of friendship.
Let's leave behind victorious stories 
into the future!

"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We all experience difficulties and problems. No life is completely free from suffering. But Mr. Toda often said: 'Just like a pinch of salt enhances the flavour of sweets, experiencing suffering enables us to savour joy.'

"As practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism, we transform our problems into joy and lead lives dedicated to creating value with a generous, openhearted spirit."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [38] A Compass Guiding us to Lives Brimming with Joy and Pride, June 2018 issue of Daibyaku-renge, the Soka Gakkai monthly journal. Translation released March 2019.
