[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] 30th Nov. - 6th Dec. 2020 Words of the Week, 30th Nov. Daily Gosho + 1st Dec. Daily Encouragement

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

November 30th-December 6th, 2020
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Our young women's general meetings
full of hopes and dreams 
that are opening up the gateway 
towards the centennial of 
the Soka Gakkai's founding,
are about to start!*
The Daishonin teaches,
"The treasures of the heart 
  are the most valuable of all."**
Let's cultivate blossoms of friendship 
in an open and warm atmosphere.
Let's embrace our friend's hearts 
with a sunlight spirit that
can never be defeated.

*During the months of December 2020 and January 2021, Young Women's Division's meetings to introduce and share Nichiren Buddhism, named "Roman General Meetings", are to be held on a limited scale of gathering, by using SNS, etc. throughout Japan.

**Gosho: "More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!" - WND-1, page 851

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds. It is the same with a Buddha and an ordinary being. When deluded, one is called an ordinary being, but when enlightened, one is called a Buddha.

(On Attaining Buddhahood 
   in This Lifetime 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As our world undergoes major changes, our prayers for 'order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land' (WND–1, 24) have the power to unite and elevate humanity.

"Dialogue rooted in kindness and tolerance and aimed at bringing peace and happiness to society can change any challenge into an impetus for growth and progress, and transform everyone into an ally."
