* In yesterday's Daily Encouragement the number of hearts in both cases should have read "one million," our apologies for any confusion caused! 

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

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Small things are important.
Let's fully honour the promises 
that we make!
Let's also respond quickly 
when someone seeks 
our advice
True, solid trust is built through 
the accumulation of one by one
honest caring actions.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Shakyamuni taught that the shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage."

(On the Buddha's Prophecy 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 402)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Nichiren and his followers, who now chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo , are all [to be counted among] these bodhisattvas who emerged from the earth.'

– From 'The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings,' p.118.

"As Soka Gakkai members, we are all Bodhisattvas of the Earth who have appeared in this world with a great mission. Our unity, as practitioners directly inheriting the spirit of Nichiren Daishonin, is a source of invincible strength and can achieve anything.

"Playing a pivotal role in this unity of 'many in body, one in mind,' are our vice leaders with their rich experience.

"We are each linked by truly wondrous karmic connections, having vowed to realise kosen-rufu. 'Transcending all differences among ourselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim' (cf. WND—1, 217), and sharing each other's joys and sorrows, let's continue to advance together in our efforts to bring genuine peace and security to our lands based on the humanistic principles of Nichiren Buddhism." 

Spreading the Brilliant light of the Daishonin's Writings, [35] "Unity is a Source of Invincible Strength," 12th June 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021.
