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

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Discussion meetings celebrating 
Soka Gakkai Founding Day
are joyfully being held together 
with our treasured fellow members
around the world.
The Daishonin states,
"The place where you chant daimoku 
will become the dwelling place of
the treasure tower."*
Let's hold the type of discussion meeting 
where each participant
shines with life's brilliance 
sending out hope and good fortune 
into the local community!

*"You should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with this conviction. Then the place where you chant daimoku will become the dwelling place of the treasure tower." 
- "On the Treasure Tower" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 300)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak."

(Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 598)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'What is the correct way to live?' I asked Mr. Toda. He replied by encouraging me to try practising Nichiren Buddhism [to find the answer myself], especially because I was still young. Placing my trust in Mr. Toda, who had upheld his beliefs while in prison during the Second World War, I decided to give it a try. As a result, I have been able to walk the correct path through life—one dedicated to peace and the happiness of humanity.

"It all starts with having the courage to try….it's all about challenging yourself. The time will surely come when you feel glad that you did." 

Towards 2030—To Our Bright Beacons of Hope, [29] Summoning the Courage to Try, August 1st, 2022, Hope News, translation released October 2022.
