[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 13th-19th May 2019 Words of the Week, 13th May Daily Gosho & 14th May Daily Encouragement

 

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

May 13th - 19th, 2019
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
An individual's boundless 
strength and potential
is unlocked through the encouragement
one gets through the SGI.
The Daishonin teaches us,
"One's body and mind at a single moment 
pervade the entire realm of phenomena."*
Let's have conversations 
that imbue people's hearts 
with a gentle refreshing breeze!

*Gosho: WND-I, page 366

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Carrying on the Daishonin's spirit, we tirelessly go out and engage in dialogue with others in order to realise the ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.'

"We join with members and non-members alike—people coming from all walks of life—to confront both individual and larger challenges as fellow human beings living in the same era and to create a humanistic network committed to building a better world. Through conversing and sharing our thoughts with conviction and passion, we bring out each other's Buddha nature, our highest positive potential and make it shine brightly."

March Editorial, Engaging in Dialogue with Bright and Open Hearts, March 2019 monthly Daibyaku Renge magazine, translation released May 2019
