-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's try our very best to study the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
and, as a result, instil the Daishonin's courageous lion's roar in our hearts!
Let's lead a profound life, along the correct way,
for the sake of justice and happiness.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one's heavy karma from the past is not expiated within this lifetime, one must undergo the sufferings of hell in the future, but if one experiences extreme hardship in this life [because of the Lotus Sutra], the sufferings of hell will vanish instantly."

(Lessening One's Karmic Retribution - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 199) Selection source:
"Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 21st, 2009

September 21st-27th, 2009
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Those people who constantly strive to help others to become outstanding capable individuals
are indeed themselves people of genuine ability.
Let's go to the very forefront of activities and do
our utmost to encourage others on a person-to-person basis!
This is how victorious waves emerge and expand.
