-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No matter what kind of obstacles might confront us,
let's do our best to remain cheerful!
No matter how difficult our situations might be,
let's move forwards with strength and courage!
To advance, no matter what, is the very spirit of our
faith and practise.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both
will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher
fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell."

(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 909) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, November 24th, 2008

November 24th-30th, 2008
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin warns us,
"Be even more careful than usual"*
Carelessness and overconfidence are our greatest enemies.
By doing our utmost to prevent any and all
type of accident or incident from occurring,
let's successfully complete all of our goals for this year.
