* Tomorrow is a national press holiday in Japan so "Words of the Week" is being published today. 

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

April 11th-18th, 2021
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Our discussion meeting, 
"Zadankai", 
is a gathering of Buddhas.*
It is an oasis 
of assurance and hope.
The Daishonin teaches,
"The seeds of Buddhahood sprout 
as a result of conditions."**
Through our conversations that 
bond our hearts together,
let's spread waves of courage 
throughout our local community!

*"The purpose of Soka Gakkai meetings is to advance kosen-rufu, and they are the contemporary versions of the assembly of the Lotus Sutra." 
(Ref. NHR, Vol.25)
**Gosho - WND, Vol. 1, page 1117

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What is most important is that, by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo alone, you can attain Buddhahood. It will no doubt depend on the strength of your faith. To have faith is the basis of Buddhism."

(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 832)
