Tomorrow is a Japanese press holiday to let those involved in producing and delivering a newspaper have a short rest. Therefore "Words of the Week" appears one day in advance of normal. Don't worry everything else will still be coming your way tomorrow! So here we go...A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Newspaper based on Ikeda Sensei's recent guidance, and more.
February 12th-19th, 2023
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"The assembly
on Holy Eagle Peak
-- which continues in solemn state"
is indeed
is indeed
our SGI discussion meetings.*
We are all
We are all
noble Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
Brimming with innate life force
Brimming with innate life force
from the infinite past,
let our voices ring out
let our voices ring out
proving that Buddhism
manifests itself in society!
*"Fellow members who have vowed to spread the Mystic Law from the distant past have gathered together here and now. That is the meaning of the words in The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings 'the assembly on Holy Eagle Peak which continues in solemn state and has not yet disbanded' (OTT, 135). The assembly on Eagle Peak is none other than our districts. That is why we move forwards together, sharing both our joys and sorrows."
(New Gosho Zenshu page 1776,

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."
