-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Life is about victory or defeat.
Buddhism is indeed the same.
Therefore, let's do our utmost to live winning lives,
no matter what might confront us.
My dearest friends,
never ever forget this very important point!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"For example, the flaws in iron come to the surface when it is forged. Put
into flames, a rock simply turns to ashes, but gold becomes pure gold."

(Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page
497) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, March 30th, 2009

March 30th-April 5th, 2009
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Let's make this new (fiscal/school) year another
victorious year by making even greater progress.
For the sake of kosen-rufu,
let's put forth our very best effort to be successful in
all the challenges ahead of us.
To be victorious is to become happy.
Achieving one victory will certainly create the cause for even greater
victories!

*In Japan, April is the first month of a new fiscal and school
year and many people start a new job, new school, etc.
