[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] Words of the Week June 6-12, 2022, Daily Gosho June 6 & Daily Encouragement June 7

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

June 6th-12th, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Just like founding Soka Gakkai 
Makiguchi-sensei urged,
let's all be indomitable challengers 
striving to achieve kosen-rufu!
Let's "summon up 
the courage of a lion king"* 
and expand the humanitarian solidarity 
for the cause of justice and truth
through our ceaseless efforts to have
conversations of trust and conviction!

*"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions." 
- "On Persecutions Befalling the Sage" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 997)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A woman known as the dragon king's daughter achieved Buddhahood through faith in the Lotus Sutra; she therefore pledged to protect women who embrace this sutra in the latter age. Could it be that you are related to her? How admirable!"

(The One-eyed Turtle and the Floating Log 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 960)

Ikeda Sensei's guidance,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We encounter obstacles because we practice the correct Buddhist teaching. When they occur, we have a choice: we can wisely see them for the devilish functions they are and challenge them resolutely based on faith, or we can react with fear and retreat."
