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

April 18th-24th, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin asserts,
"Nothing is more certain 
   than actual proof."*
The Seikyo Newspaper 
and all our other SGI publications,
where people's 
personal experiences in faith 
are vibrantly introduced,
are the source of light 
that give people hope and courage.
Let's try to encourage 
as many people as possible
with words brimming with humanism 
and life force
and help them to form 
a connection with Buddhism!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we open the Daishonin's writing, we connect with the Daishonin's resounding lion's roar, which vanguishes the devilish functions causing distress and torment. When we turn the pages, we hear the heartbeat of the Daishonin's deep compassion to embrace and guide young people who seek the correct way to live. When we read them, we awaken to and gain trust in the colossal potential within each human being that is as vast as the universe itself.

"We realise how strong, profound and great each person can become. We experience how warm and beautiful true life-to-life connections can be. We discover how vibrantly we can enlighten and enrich our societies and countries so that they truly thrive." 

Foreword to the New Japanese edition of Nichiren Daishonin's gosho zenshu (The Complete Works of Nichiren Daishonin). From the November 20th, 2021 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released April 2022.
