[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 9th Nov. 2019 To My Friends & Daily Gosho + 10th Nov. Daily Encouragement

 

A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Newspaper based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

Saturday, November 9th, 2019
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be careful about 
sudden temperature changes 
at this time of the year.
Let's try to take every possible measure 
to prevent ourselves from catching a cold
by keeping warm, washing our hands,
 gargling (when we get back), 
etc.. in our daily lives.
Maintaining our good health 
is itself the driving force 
for making dynamic progress.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Strengthen your resolve to seek the way all the more and achieve Buddhahood in this lifetime."

(The Receipt of New Fiefs
 - WND, Vol. 1, page 946)
Selection Source: 
SGI President Ikeda's guidance, 
Seikyo Newspaper, Nov. 9th, 2019

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin states: 'It could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered' (WND – 1, 345).

"The 'prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra' today are none other than the prayers of our noble members who boldly take on all challenges based on their vow to realise kosen-rufu and the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.' As such, their prayers will not fail to be answered."

Constructing the New Era, The Soka Gakkai Is a Wellspring of Courage. Seikyo Newspaper July 13th, 2019, translation released September 2019
