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

December 20th-26th, 2021
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Seasonal greetings 
spread the warmth of our hearts.
The Daishonin encourages us to
"Express courtesy 
towards one's friends."*
Let's try our very best 
to deepen trust and friendship
with our neighbours, relatives, 
friends and acquaintances!

*"The four virtues are ... (3) courtesy towards one's friends … Third, treating one's friends with courtesy means that, although one may encounter them ten or twenty times in the course of a single day, one greets them courteously as though they had travelled a thousand or two thousand miles to see one, never showing them indifference." -
"The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude" 
(WND Vol.2, page 636)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is rare to be born a human being. The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail."

(The Three Kinds of Treasure 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 851)
