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

February 21st-27th, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"Now Nichiren and his followers 
are encouraging others
to adopt Nam-myoho-renge-kyo 
and to make it their own practice."*
The practice of "shakubuku"** is an act 
of the highest respect for others,
an act of supreme compassion.
Cheerfully challenging ourselves 
to share this Buddhism with others,
let's win in this traditional month 
of the February Campaign 
with outstanding achievements!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We must do whatever we can now, with all our being, for the sake of the next generation. When we do so, we build a citadel of boundless joy in our own hearts.

brimming with hope
to open the road
to an eternal capital
that nothing can destroy."
