-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Together with all the members of the Future
(children in primary and secondary schools) and Youth Division,
let's hold the type of discussion meetings
where we all leave feeling courageous
and ready to make a great new start.
Together, let's all make fresh determinations
and a spectacular start to the year.
It's the momentum we gain from our vibrant discussion meetings
that is going to make this, our 80th year,
the most glorious, the most victorious!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Blue dye is bluer than indigo itself, and ice is colder than water."

(Offering in the Snow - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 809)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Jan. 18th, 2010

January 18th-24th, 2010
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin urges,
"Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is
only a single sentence or phrase."*
Let's, every one of us, dash to the forefront
of activities for kosen-rufu.
And again, today,
let's leave behind an outstanding record of our actions,
with no feelings of regret!
