-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The important points for the unity of 'Many in Body, One
in Mind' are our great vow for achieving kosen-rufu, our
sincere respect for our fellow members, and our resolute
spirit of 'Oneness of Mentor and Disciple'.
Let's all be victorious together with the strategy of the
Lotus Sutra!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may
become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will
protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to
produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from
parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August
25th, 2008

August 25th-31st, 2008
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin states,
"Regard your service to your lord as the practice of the
Lotus Sutra."*
Buddhism manifests itself in society.
Let's make every possible effort each day so that we can
be successful in every challenge at work,
and let's all raise the victorious banners in our lives!
