[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 13th Aug. 2019 Daily Gosho + 14th Aug. Daily Encouragement

 

Today is a Japanese national press holiday. One of several throughout the year to give all those involved in the newspaper business a break. Therefore there is no  "To My Friends" today but everything else is running as usual!

--- DAILY GOSHO --- 
"Though one may perform meritorious deed, if they are directed towards what is untrue, then those deeds may bring great evil, but they will never result in good."

("The Bodies and Minds of Ordinary Beings,"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- 
"Let us remember that 'Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions' (WND-1, 997). It is vital, therefore, that we summon our courage and speak out for truth and what is right. By doing so, our courage becomes compassion and shining wisdom. The compassion and wisdom of the life state of Buddhahood pulse vibrantly in our earnest efforts to take action and use our voices for the happiness of the people in our lives and our communities, based on our great philosophy of respect for the dignity of life."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, A "Struggle of Words" Dedicated to Creating a More Peaceful World. April 26th, 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019

"TATOI KŌ O ITASEDOMO · MAKOTO NARANU KOTO O KUYO SUREBA DAIAKU TOWA · NAREDOMO ZEN TO NARAZU"

("SHUJO SHINSHIN GOSHO", Gosho Zenshu page 1595)
