-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our heroes and heroines of kosen-rufu throughout Japan,
I put my palms together in expressing my sincere appreciation, from the bottom of my heart, for all your efforts.
All of the connections to Buddhism you helped to create are indestructible treasures in your lives
throughout the three existences of past, present and future.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the
treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are
the most valuable of all. From the time you read this
letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 31st, 2009

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Three cheers to all of our great noble members who
exerted themselves, till the very last moment, without
any regrets at all!*
The great fortune and benefit that you have accumulated
through your dedicated effort will most certainly adorn your lives for all eternity.
Now, proudly and confidently, let's aim directly towards the 80th anniversary of the Soka Gakkai's founding in 2010!
* This is in reference to the Soka Gakkai's support of the New Komeito Party's election activities. They received some very heavy blows this time, as you may well have heard, but they - the New Komeito - are not blaming or pointing the finger at anyone but are already reviewing what went wrong, making changes where need be and
are certainly preparing for the next battle determined to show voters where they may have made a very bad choice! Japan is a very unique country, as we all know! But sadly there are times when people here in Japan need to see and experience with their own eyes what the alternative is before they decide what would be much better.
