[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] Sep12th-19th Words of the Week, Sep 12th Daily Gosho & Sep 13th Daily Encouragement

* Tomorrow is a Japanese national press holiday to give those involved in making and delivering a newspaper a short break. "Words of the Week" is being published one day ahead of schedule. Don't worry we'll still be here tomorrow, minus "To My Friends"…just for the day!

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

September 12th-19th, 2021
-- Words of the Week --
The Daishonin asserts,
"Those with the heart of a lion king 
are sure to attain Buddhahood."*
Following on the path 
Nichiren Daishonin 
opened up for us 
through his incredible struggles,
let's arouse the type of faith 
that enables us to overcome 
any and all difficulties!
Together, let's challenge ourselves 
to "cast off the transient and reveal 
the true"!**

*"When an evil ruler in consort with priests of erroneous teachings tries to destroy the correct teaching and do away with a man of wisdom, those with the heart of a lion king are sure to attain Buddhahood." 
(WND-1, page 302)
