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

September 5th-11th, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Our fellow members
are making fresh new starts
"dancing with joy" 
wherever they are right now.
The Daishonin encourages us,
"I entrust you with the 
propagation of Buddhism 
in your province."*
Joyfully and with enthusiasm,
let's sow the seeds of Buddhahood 
in the people around us' hearts
and further expand our movement 
by leader-initiated actions!

*"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions, and for this reason they preach the single vehicle.'" 
- "The Properties of Rice" (WND, Vol.1, page 1117)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Former undersecretary of Austria's Federal Ministry of Education, the Arts and Sports, and renowned soprano Dr. Jutta Unkart-Seifert, devoted herself for many years to the education of young people. In the dialogue we published together, she reflected on supporting her husband through his battle with bone cancer. It was her conviction, she said, that everything that happens in life serves to help us to grow and develop as human beings. She also remarked that even when we are feeling great emotional pain, if we take heart and try to stay positive, a new chapter in life will open. There is no need to be overcome by sorrow, she concluded. Our hope-filled philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism deeply resonates with Dr. Unkart-Seifert."
