[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] Words of the Week Nov. 8th-15th, 2020, Daily Gosho Nov. 8th & Daily Encouragement Nov. 9th

* Tomorrow is a Japanese national press holiday to let those people involved in producing and delivering a newspaper have a short rest. Therefore "Words of the Week" appears today. Do not worry we'll still be back tomorrow! On we go... 

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

November 8th-15th, 2020
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin states,
"The lion king fears no other beast"*
Especially in an era of trials and tribulations
it's important that we advance courageously
with heads held high,
and open up a path 
with value creating wisdom.
It's through chanting strong powerful daimoku,
like a roaring lion,
that enables us to win in all challenges.

*Gosho: "Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions." (WND-1, page 997)

"[Again, when Nichiren and his followers recite Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], they are burning the firewood of earthly desires, summoning up the wisdom fire of bodhi or enlightenment.
