A translation of SGI President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.—TO MY FRIENDS—
Let's carefully and compassionately listen to what our fellow members have to say.
A good leader is always a good listener.
I hope that all of our leaders will sincerely help to remove
the suffering of others and guide them towards joy.*
* "Buddhist compassion: Removing Suffering and Giving Joy"
—DAILY GOSHO—
"In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come."
(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day—The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 622) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 6
