-- TO MY FRIENDS --
By doing morning and evening gongyo,
let's create a steady and strong rhythm in our lives.
From deep within our hearts,
let's create a whirlpool of victory in our lives!
*"Gongyo is a daily activity in which we purify and prime
our hearts and minds. It is starting engine for our day,
like grooming ourselves before we set out for the day."
"Gongyo and daimoku are a ceremony in which our lives
commune with the universe. During gongyo, through our
faith in the Gohonzon, we vigorously infuse the microcosm
of our individual existence with the life force of the
macrocosm, of the entire universe. If we do this
regularly each morning and evening, our life force--or
engine--is strengthened."
"We can be in rhythm with the universe 365 days of the
year--in spring, summer,autumn and winter--manifesting the
vigour, wisdom and good fortune with which to surmount any
problem or suffering. When we rev up the powerful,
revitalising engine of Buddhahood, we can break through
any impasse and boldly steer ourselves in the direction of
hope and justice."
(Discussions on Youth, Vol. 2)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Let's hold really cheerful and vibrant discussion meetings this month,
where all of us feel inspired to support the success and victory of
kosen-rufu.
Both victory and success depend on the momentum of our
advancement.
Let's build castles of happiness in our districts
where everyone is in splendid full bloom.
