A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Newspaper based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
November 10th-16th, 2019
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
(As the popular Japanese proverb goes)
"One is the mother of ten thousand."*
By hearing someone's
precious experience,
many people can be inspired
with both hope and joy.
From our discussion meetings,
celebrating the month of
the Soka Gakkai's founding,
let's spread countless waves of happiness
by helping as many people as possible
to form a connection with Nichiren Buddhism!
*Gosho: WND-I, page 131

(Aspiration for the Buddha Land
- WND, Vol. 1, page 214)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A life dedicated to one's mission can be hectic and demanding. But in light of the Buddhist principle that 'earthly desires are enlightenment,' the more we grapple with problems and exert ourselves in faith, the more we can expand our life state. Amid great struggles for kosen-rufu, we can accumulate boundless treasures of the heart and spread our circle of happiness. In addition, our individual prayers will be fulfilled.
"This is the formula based on the Mystic Law for winning in our human revolution and our efforts to actualise a more peaceful and prosperous world for all."
Constructing the New Era, The Soka Gakkai Is a Wellspring of Courage. Seikyo Newspaper July 13th, 2019, translation released September 2019.
