-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's hold great discussion meetings where each
participant shines as the main character.
Let's make sure to express our sincere appreciation to all the
members and their families who so kindly offer their
homes for our meetings and other activities.
By making sure to praise everyone for all their dedicated efforts throughout
this year,
let's launch a vibrant start towards next year's victories and successes!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your
province. It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood
sprout as a result of condition, and for this reason they
preach the single vehicle'"

(The Properties of Rice - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1117) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 19th, 2008

Saturday, December 20th, 2008
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism always comes down to action. People who flaunt their authority and
claim to possess the 'same inner enlightenment as the Buddha'--though
nothing in their actions gives the least credence to this--are certainly
spiritual descendants of the six non-Buddhist teachers in Shakyamuni's
time."

SGI Newsletter No. 7669, LEARNING FROM THE GOSHO: THE HOPE-FILLED WRITINGS
OF NICHIREN DAISHONIN, [13] "On Repaying Debts of Gratitude." Kosen-rufu: A
Great River Enriching Humanity Eternally--Our Victory as Disciples Is the
Greatest Way to Repay Our Debt of Gratitude to Our Mentor, from the October
2008 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated Dec. 4th, 2008
