-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A life devoted to what one strongly
believes in is indeed a profound and noble one.
And the ultimate expression of such a life is our faith.
By conducting confident and sincere dialogues with others,
let's stir up a whirlwind of inspiration among the people
around us!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Be diligent in developing your faith until the last
moment of your life. Otherwise you will have regrets."

(Letter to Niike - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 1027) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",
Seikyo Shimbun, May 25th, 2009

May 25th-31st, 2009
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The sound of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the invincible roar of a lion or
mentor and disciple in unison
which leads to ceaseless victories.
Brimming with strong life force,
let's always take good care of our health, first and
foremost, so that we can continually make great progress together.
By chanting vibrant daimoku,
let's rouse all the Buddhist gods*, the protective forces of
the universe, into action!
