of using the hotel's PC and not mine! Hope you could figure things out.
Today is a Japanese press holiday so we will hold "Words of the Week" over
to fill the gap tomorrow. Hope that is OK! All the best and hope you have a
great week.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"You will grow younger,
(and your good fortune will accumulate)."*
We are all sincerely praying that all of our noble
senior members (Taho-kai, Hoju-kai, Kinpo-kai) will always
be healthy and brimming with youthful spirits.
Let's all lead victorious lives by earnestly chanting
daimoku for the greatest victory of both ourselves and
the SGI!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Dr. Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel
Peace laureate with whom my wife and I enjoy a warm
friendship, wrote: 'Every person who has ever achieved
anything has been knocked down many times. But all of them
picked themselves up and kept going, and that is what I
have always tried to do.' Great individuals do not accept
defeat. I hope you, my young friends, will be people who
are never defeated. Please live with the resolve to brave
difficult challenges, no matter how painful, and triumph
in the end."
