A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
July 8th-14th, 2019
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
What determines victory
is our indomitable spirit
to share this practice
with others.*
As the Daishonin asserts,
"But still I am not discouraged."*
No matter what happens,
let's always try to chant daimoku
and cheerfully push forwards,
right to the very end.

"Shakyamuni taught that the shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage."

"Let's each continue to challenge ourselves fearlessly with the heart of a lion king! Cheerfully uniting with our women's division members—the suns of Soka and the mothers of kosen-rufu—let's achieve lives filled with 'good fortune and security' gained through our efforts to realise the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the piece of the land.'"
