"In that sense, faith is the struggle against the fundamental darkness or ignorance characterised by the inability to believe fully that the highest potential of Buddhahood exists in our own and others' lives. Our determination to keep polishing and developing our lives day by day and month after month is what makes our inner Buddha wisdom and Buddhahood shine."

"We cannot create happiness with a passive attitude, waiting for others to do things for us. With that attitude, if no one helps us, we will end up feeling sorry for ourselves and grow to hate and resent others. This is a cause of unhappiness.

"Nichiren Buddhism is a philosophy of self-reliance, not dependence on others. It empowers us to stand up on our own and open a new way forwards. Doesn't it teach that by changing ourselves, we can change our environment and our society?"

1st July 🎾 2024 Daily Gosho + 2nd July Daily Encouragement

Daily Gosho & Encouragement, both using the latest official translations, all quotes are either from Nichiren Daishonin or Ikeda Sensei unless otherwise stated...

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison.  The verb sa, 'to make' or 'to roar,' should here be understood to mean to initiate or to put forth. It refers to the initiating of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law."

"There is nothing more noble and beautiful than the bonds shared by Soka Gakkai members. Whenever someone suffers from illness or has troubles at work, we offer encouragement, listen to them and pray they will recover or overcome their problems. Our actions arise from our empathy and concern for our friends' happiness.

"Moreover, we don't reserve our sincere care and concern only for members; we extend it to our neighbours, friends, and others in our lives. Indeed, the human solidarity we are creating is becoming a precious treasure for society."

New Human Revolution, Victory Isles 5, SGI Newsletter 11449, translation released 24th Jan. 2024
