[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] 22nd-28th November 2021 Words of the Week, 22nd Nov. Daily Gosho + 23rd Nov. Daily Encouragement

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

November 22nd-28th, 2021
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Today again,
let's advance with the gosho 
(the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin)!
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Teach others 
to the best of your ability,
even if it is only a single sentence 
or phrase."*
With the light of 
ultimate compassion and wisdom,
let's brilliantly illuminate 
both our daily lives and society!

*"Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase." 
- "The True Aspect of All Phenomena" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 383)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Whatever trouble occurs, regard it as no more than a dream, and think only of the Lotus Sutra."

(Letter to the Brothers 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 502)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Bodhisattvas of the Earth 'advance through the world,' meaning they are active in the secular world, in society, in the reality of this saha realm.

"It goes without saying that the place we are now is where we attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. Buddhist practice means engaging in society based on faith in the Mystic Law." 

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World. [69] Advancing Our Movement by Demonstrating the Principles of "Faith Equals Daily Life" and "Buddhism Is Manifested in Society," Win in the Struggle of Daily Life, January 2021 issue of Daibyaku Renge Study Journal, translation released October 2021.
