[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho 14th May, 2022 plus Daily Encouragement 15th May

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Just feeling sorry about 
our circumstances 
isn't going to change anything.
Instead let's make an effort 
to chant daimoku
and build up the courage 
to take on whatever challenges
we now face.
This is where the route 
to our human revolution
is to be found!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What can we say, then, of persons who are devoting themselves to Buddhism? Surely they should not forget the debts of gratitude they owe to their parents, their teachers and their country."

(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 690)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Wherever we embrace the Gohonzon and take action for kosen-rufu is the treasure land of Eternally Tranquil Light. It is the Buddha land. Therefore, no matter how harsh your environment, the place where you are now is the place to carry out your Buddhist practice, to do your human revolution and transform your karma. It is the stage upon which you can show proof of your happiness. Please triumph where you are. Become a trustworthy presence in your community. That is how you can demonstrate the validity of Nichiren Buddhism." 

The New Human Revolution - Volume 27, Seeking Spirit 59, translation released April 2022.
