[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] 4th-9th January 2022 Words of the Week, 4th Jan. Daily Gosho + 5th Jan. Daily Encouragement

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

January 4th-9th, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
By refreshingly 
performing Gongyo 
along with vigorous daimoku 
each and every day,
let's make the sun that has been 
within us from time 
without beginning 
rise in our lives!
The Daishonin states:
"When the skies are clear,
the ground is illuminated."*
Let's illuminate our everyday life 
and society 
with the light of the sun.
 
* "The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind Established in the Fifth Five-Hundred-Year Period after the Thus Come One's Passing", WND-l page 376

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"We, too, are the eggs of ignorance, which are pitiful things, but when nurtured by the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is like the warmth of the mother bird, we develop the beak of the thirty-two features and the feathers of the eighty characteristics and are free to soar into the sky of the true aspect of all phenomena and the reality of all things."

("Letter to Niike", WND-l page 1030)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda often used to say: 'In life, hope is crucial. As long as you have hope, you can move forwards. You can take on any challenge. You can make it through.' I also recall him saying: "Those who can live out their lives with a youthful spirit, a youthful life condition, are truly admirable.'"
