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

October 23rd-29th, 2023
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"I, Nichiren, have occasion 
  to meet with 
    a great many persons."*
Brightly, joyfully and proudly,
let's engage in dialogue 
directly connected 
to the same spirit 
as Nichiren Daishonin!
When we meet people, 
joy can be found 
in both our hearts and theirs.
Now is the time for us 
to further expand the solidarity 
of the people for peace!

*"Unlike most people, in the course of spreading these doctrines of mine I, Nichiren, have occasion to meet with a great many persons." 
"Condolences 
    on a Deceased Husband"
 (WND, Vol.2, page 778)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."
