-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we face something that we feel rather reluctant to deal with,
let's tackle that problem first and foremost.
It's through confronting what seems to be so difficult
and achieving victory that we
gain even more trust and respect from others.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Life is limited; we must not begrudge it. What we should
ultimately aspire to is the Buddhaland."

(Aspiration for the Buddha Land - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 214) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 23rd, 2009

February 23rd-March 1st, 2009
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
By believing and practising the Mystic Law,
we can definitely change poison into medicine.*
Although some of us might be facing a great struggle in
weathering the economic storm right now,
let's never give up, no matter what!
The inner strength of your Buddha nature is absolutely
infinite.

* Changing Poison into
Medicine-http://www.sgi.org/changing poison.html

**When we believe in the fundamental Mystic Law, it
becomes manifest within us, and our state of life changes
at the very core. The karmic relations arising from
ignorance are eradicated, with the Mystic Law enriching
our lives and overflowing into our environment. The world
is transformed at the fundamental level. This is the
basis of the benefit of the Gohonzon. (The World of
Nichiren Daishonin's Writings, Vol. 2, page 179)
