-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What will be achieved in the future depends on the
causes we are making here and now.*
Let's put forth our very best effort, today!
It's time right now to open up the path to the victory
of mentor and disciple in the future.
*"If you want to understand the causes that existed in the
past, look at the results as they are manifested in the
present. And if you want to understand what results will
be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist
in the present." - "The Opening of the Eyes", WND-I, page
279

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What can we say, then, of persons who are devoting
themselves to Buddhism? Surely they should not forget the
debts of gratitude they owe to their parents, their
teachers, and their country. But if one intends of repay
these great debts of gratitude, one can hope to do so only
if one learns and masters Buddhism, becoming a person of
wisdom."
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 690) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 1st, 2008

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Let's be really open and tell people how we feel and think
and engage in conversations with as many people as we can,
being as sincere as we possibly can.
Let's also make every effort to expand our circle of friends!
One single courageous "wave" will become ten thousand and more waves
leading towards absolutely overwhelming victories.
