-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make every effort to go out and talk with our fellow members
and then together take action towards achieving our goals.
This is how to encourage and raise more capable and talented people
and how we will achieve kosen-rufu.
Within our local community,
let's build wonderful palaces of the SGI,
that are second to none in solidarity!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others
to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of
your present life in this human world."
(Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra -
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 64)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun,
February 2nd, 2009
February 2nd-8th, 2009
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study."*
Let's all achieve great victories in this time-honoured
month of February.
From the spirit to repay our debt of gratitude to our mentor
is born the wisdom and strength to engage in
and expand Buddhist dialogue.
* "The True Aspect of All Phenomena" - WND-I, page 386
** "Whenever he thought of his mentor, Shin'ichi felt
a surge of energy flood his entire being."
"Shin'ichi frankly shared his sentiments, calling to the
members present: 'February is the month of Nichiren
Daishonin's birth, and February 11th is the day President
Toda was born.
"While it goes without saying that because of the
Daishonin's appearance in this world, we could encounter
this Buddhism, we also owe much to President Toda's
courageous, solitary struggle for kosen-rufu. We have all
received great benefit and become happy.
"To show our gratitude, let's celebrate the month of
President Toda's birth and answer his expectations by
thoroughly challenging ourselves and achieving a truly
magnificent victory in our activities."
