[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] 17th-23rd Oct. Words of the Week, 17th Oct. Daily Gosho & 18th Oct. Daily Encouragement

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

October 17th-23rd, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin states,
"Even more valuable than reason 
and documentary proof 
is the proof of actual fact."*
Let's practice and study together 
with our new, treasured friends!
Let's share with each other
our personal experiences 
of gaining benefit through this practice.  
This is precisely what 
this faith and practice 
enables everyone to do,
attain absolute happiness.

*"In judging the relative merit of Buddhist doctrines, I, Nichiren, believe that the best standards are those of reason and documentary proof. And even more valuable than reason and documentary proof is the proof of actual fact." 
- "ThreeTripitaka Masters Pray for Rain" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 598)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
That is why the Great Teacher Miao-lo stated, "The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods." So long as one maintains firm faith, one is certain to receive the great protection of the gods.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'For the sake of the nation, for the sake of the Law, for the sake of others' (WND–1, 164)—we feel bound to share the life affirming principles of Nichiren Buddhism. We wish to teach as many people as possible about the wisdom and compassionate spirit of the Middle Way in Buddhism. We seek to send capable individuals of genuine commitment, dedicated to serving the people, into society. This great, compelling passion is the driving force of our efforts."
