Brief Guidances

Sharing Hope-filled “Words and Writing” with People Near and Far

Words of Encouragement From Ikeda Sensei

Words and writing . . . are the medium through which [the] inseparable factors of the mental and physical makeup of all living beings are revealed.

“Questions and Answers on the Various Schools,” The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 2, p. 18


Through the written word, people can find precious value that benefits them, both mentally and physically. Writing that helps lead people to happiness embodies the very life of the Buddha.

The Seikyo Shimbun, the Soka Gakkai’s daily newspaper, is communicating and spreading the message of Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, widely in the present age. The sincere support of all our noble members—not least our “uncrowned heroes,” the dedicated Seikyo Shimbun deliverers—is also truly inspiring.

Together let’s continue to share “words and writing” that impart wisdom and hope for overcoming the difficult challenges of life and society with friends near and far!
