October 12th-18th, 2009
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The discussion meeting is the source of our strength and vitality.
let's together share in our joy-filled experiences,
create friendships and foster our youth.
At the same time let's be very careful to look after and respect
the members and their families who so kindly offer their homes
for our meetings.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When the bodhisattva Never Disparaging makes his bow of obeisance to the four kinds of believers, the Buddha nature inherent in the four kinds of believers of overbearing arrogance is bowing in obeisance to the bodhisattva Never Disparaging. It is like the situation when one faces a mirror and makes a bow of obeisance: the image in the mirror likewise makes a bow of obeisance to oneself."

(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 769, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 165)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Victory comes from never giving up. An indomitable fighting spirit, burning like a flame, ever brighter in the face of obstacles, is the way to win."
