-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The advancement of kosen-rufu would never be as successful as it is if
it were not for the dedicated support by those members,
and their families, who offer their homes for our meetings
and those who always help support our activities from behind the scenes.
Let's all make sure to express our utmost appreciation and
offer warm words of praise to them!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you wish to free yourself from the sufferings of birth
and death you have endured since time without beginning
and to attain without fail unsurpassed enlightenment in
this lifetime, you must perceive the mystic truth that is
originally inherent in all living beings."

(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings
of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 3) Selection source:
"Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Dec. 8th, 2008

December 8th -14th, 2008
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Faith manifests itself in our daily lives
and Buddhist practice is directly reflected in society.
Let's, therefore, do our very best to contribute
to our local community and carefully cherish all the people around
us by sincerely cultivating good relations with them.
Let's help the development of a world where everyone prospers
together.
