[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] 7th -13th Nov. 2022 Words of the Week, 7th Nov. Daily Gosho + 8th Nov. Daily Encouragement

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

November 7th-13th, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches,
"If one can establish a relationship 
with even just one phrase of the
Wonderful Law, that relationship 
will continue unbroken 
over a million kalpas."*
Together with our dear 
"good friends" 
who are also advancing
with a noble seeking spirit,
let's make the jewel of life 
shine brilliantly in our lives
and perform a 'dance of joy'
in this significant month 
of Soka's founding!

*The Essential Passage in Each of the Twenty-eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra, Former Affairs of King Wonderful Adornment chapter 
(OTT, page 219)
**Good Friends in the Realm of Buddhism: Those who lead one to the correct teaching or help one practise towards enlightenment. They can include Buddhist teachers and fellow practitioners.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we strive to practise correctly in accord with the Daishonin's teachings, devilish functions will assail us. It's only natural that we encounter ill will and opposition. That's why the Daishonin strictly emphasises: 'Nichiren's disciples cannot accomplish anything if they are cowardly' (WND–1, 481).

"It's also important to persist in our Buddhist practice and pray with the conviction that we will become happy no matter what."

The New Human Revolution, Vol. 28, Songs of Kosen-rufu, 54, translation released October 2022.
