[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] 15th May, 2022 To My Friends & Daily Gosho + 16th May Daily Encouragement

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

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Each and every one of you 
should be certain 
deep in your heart"*
From the moment we decide 
to dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu,
our inner life condition 
expands dynamically.
Let's take a great leap forwards
and have conversations 
that help us to connect
with others, heart-to-heart!

*"Each and every one of you should be certain deep in your heart that sacrificing your life for the Lotus Sutra is like exchanging rocks for gold or dung for rice." 
- "The Actions of the 
    Votary of the Lotus Sutra" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 764)

"From this single element of mind spring all the various lands and environmental conditions."

(The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 843)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In 'On Repaying Debts of Gratitude,' the Daishonin writes: 'The deeper the roots, the more prolific the branches' (WND–1, 736). By patiently and steadily putting down the 'roots of faith' and 'roots of effort,' the great tree of your mission will grow without fail. You will be able to spread wonderful branches of friendship, bring beautiful flowers of happiness to bloom and enjoy the fruits of victory."
