[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] October 18th-24th, 2021 Words of the Week, Oct. 18th Daily Gosho & Oct. 19th Daily Encouragement

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

October 18th-24th, 2021
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"If the spirit of many in body 
but one in mind 
prevails among the people,
they will achieve all their goals."*
So long as our unity 
for kosen-rufu is firm,
there is absolutely nothing 
we need be afraid of.
United with our treasured 
SGI fellow members 
who uphold the "never give up" spirit,
let's keep on pushing forwards
with unstoppable momentum 
just like a splitting bamboo,
and be victorious 
in all of our challenges!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But although I have prayed on their behalf so hard that my head was about to split, so far there has been no indication of my prayers being answered. It would seem that someone among them is wavering in faith."

(Letter to Ben 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 661)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin warns: 'The sorrow and distress of the common people will pile up until it destroys the nation' (WND – 2, 526). That is what makes the great life-affirming philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism so important. It dispels people's sorrow and distress and spreads hope and the joy of living." 

Nationwide Young Women's Division Meeting, Building a Garden of Harmony and Happiness with the Supreme Philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism, from 19th July 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October 2021.
