-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen-rufu is achieved by the united efforts of everyone.
With perfect unity as one in mind,
let's make a dash towards a great victory of mentor and
disciple in the very significant month of July!*
*In the SGI, July traditionally is a symbolic month of the shared
commitment of mentor and disciple in our activities for kosen-rufu
.
Also, in Japan, we are currently gearing up for several types of elections in the
immediate future (July), as well as a general election, (the latter
some time in late summer). Soka Gakkai supports the New Komeito party,
and we are in the midst of campaign activities. This is unique to Japan!
[The New Komeito, a junior coalition partner in the current Japanese
government, is a party originally founded by the Soka Gakkai in 1964, but
later separated as an independent entity, although Soka Gakkai provides
electoral support. The New Komeito is committed to protecting human
rights, including freedom of religion, and protects the interests of
non-union labour and people who work in small and medium-sized companies,
constituencies that makes up a large segment of the Japanese public.]

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion
king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes. It is
hard to encounter a master like Nichiren, who since
distant kalpas in the past down to the present day has
never begrudged his body or life in order to expose the
faults of his powerful enemies!"
(In the Continent of Jambudvipa - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1061) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 22nd, 2009

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin encourages us,
"You must raise your voice all the more and admonish
[those who slander]."*
Victory or defeat is determined by the strength of our momentum.
It is important that we speak clearly and strongly
when we talk about what is true and right.
Let's have an unyielding spirit to refute all injustice and lies,
and be decisively victorious in every single challenge we take on!
