Sensei's Daily Encouragement - 09 December 2012 - The Year of Developing a Youthful SGI


Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, December 9, 2012
 
Faith means infinite hope, and infinite hope resides in the SGI. As long as your faith is sincere, infinite glory, boundless good fortune and endless victory will unfold before you. You will never find yourselves at a dead end.
 

 
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

"How great is the difference between the blessings received when a sage chants the daimoku and the blessings received when we chant it?" To reply, one is in no way superior to the other. The gold that a fool possesses is in no way different from the gold that a wise man possesses; a fire made by a fool is the same as a fire made by a wise man. However, there is a difference if one chants the daimoku while acting against the intent of this sutra.
 
The Fourteen Slanders
Written near the end of 1276, this letter was a reply to the lay priest Matsuno Rokuro Saemon.
 

 
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Florence Nightingale, the founder of the modern nursing profession, proudly declared: "Let us be anxious to do well, not for selfish praise but to honour and advance the cause, the work we have taken up." The spirit to fulfill a noble mission is pure, strong, and beautiful. It is a spirit that we all should emulate.

The nineteenth general meeting…
A gathering of seventy thousand members…

Ten new chapters were formed… Expanding the number of chapter is fine.  But what really matters is broad dissemination of Sensei's spirit….

Disccused the future of President Toda's direct disciples.  Some understood while others did not.
