To My Friends – June 27, 2023

Daisaku Ikeda

―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
Nichiren Daishonin states,
“When one gives [other people] strength,
one gives oneself strength, too.”(*)
When we make an effort to foster
successors, limitless power wells forth
from within our own lives.
Let’s encourage the Youth and Future
Division members and help them develop
into remarkable, capable individuals
who surpass us in ability.
(*) “On Clothing and Food,” WND 2, 1066

To My Friends

Daisaku Ikeda
June 24, 2023

“Anyone who teaches others even
a single phrase of the Lotus Sutra
is the envoy of the Thus Come One.”(*)
Let’s all wholeheartedly praise those who
share this Buddhism with their friends
and joyfully commence a grand march
as the Bodhisattvas of the Earth!
