-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All of our victories start by firstly winning over ourselves.
That is what we practise this faith for,
and that is why we set our minds on the spirit of
'Oneness of Mentor and Disciple.'
Let's all stand up now and strive to take courageous action!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others
to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of
your present life in this human world."

(Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra -
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 64)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun,
October 20th, 2008

October 20th-26th, 2008
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin states,
"Nichiren's disciples cannot accomplish anything if they
are cowardly."*
Having faith means having courage.
Confidently, and without being afraid,
using all the wisdom we are endowed with,.
let's engage others in discussion and debate.
