-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is time to gear ourselves up
(and re-look at our plans and determinations for the year)
so that we can put the final, finishing touches on a victorious year!
Let us encourage thorough discussion at our planning meetings
so that we can advance on our collective wisdom and good sense!
Let's make sure that all our victories are based on thorough planning
that leaves no room for any type of accident or incident!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both
suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens."

(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page
681) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 1st, 2008)

December 1st - 7th, 2008
----WORDS OF THE WEEK----
It is precisely when we are in the midst of adversities and difficult
circumstances,
that we can experience the true power and brilliance of the Mystic Law.
In that respect, adversities are our treasures.
Let's develop the kind of courageous faith that enables us to
positively transform and elevate our life condition
so that no challenge is too big for us!
