Saturday
In the evening, Mr Toda gave a Gosho lecture at the headquarters. Tomorrow, I will accompany the youth division chief, T., and three other youths to the Tochigi area for propagation, staying overnight. Delighted, as it will be my first expedition to campaign in an outlying area.
My district has many points that need improvement. U. and T. came by late in the evening. Inwardly, I feel some Gakkai members could use little more common sense. Spontaneity deserves respect. Nonetheless, it should be appropriate. actions that cause trouble for others can in no way be called spontaneity. Rather, we could conclude that those who act in such a way are taking advantage of Buddhism.
Qualities like courtesy and common sense should serve to enhance spontaneity. They should not exist merely for their own sake. When each individual understands the True Law, and it becomes the driving force, the fundamental principle for that age, how deep the nation’s foundation will be! How reasonable and splendid a society will be established! People will then lead lives free from contradictions and deadlocks.
The True Law: Understand it deeply!
The True Law: Spread it widely!
The True Law: Apply it powerfully to your daily life!
The True Law: Praise it highly!
The True Law: Let it flow, purely, to the depths of your life!
