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

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches,
"Myō means to revive"*
Day after day,
by revitalizing our life force,
let's cultivate new developments 
for both our own lives 
and kosen-rufu!
May we all be people of wisdom
whose faith 
directly reflects in our daily lives!
May we all be great leaders 
(heroes/heroines) of the world**
whose Buddhist practice 
strongly impacts on society!

*Gosho - WND-1, page 149

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of The Lotus Sutra is found in the "Never Disparaging" chapter.'

- From "The Three Kinds of Treasure"
(WND –1, 851-852).

"As Soka Gakkai members, we are living in accord with the heart and essence of the Lotus Sutra. All around the world, our members, despite their problems and struggles, are challenging themselves tremendously for the happiness of others and the welfare of society. I wholeheartedly applaud them for their efforts as modern day bodhisattvas.

"Like Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, let's not be discouraged even if our sincerity is not appreciated by others.

"Let's wisely and freely tap our creativity and ingenuity as we continue to engage joyously in committed, heartfelt dialogue."
