Translations of SGI President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.—TO MY FRIENDS—
To raise everyone's spirits and give people hope—this is
a leader's mission.
Acting in an arrogant or lordly manner
towards our precious fellow members is nothing but disrespectful.
Rather, let's be like the warm sun, guiding everyone to victory.
—DAILY GOSHO—
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life" (The Opening of the Eyes—The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol.1, p. 283). Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 16
