-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"If the spirit of many in body
but one in mind prevails among the people,
they will achieve all their goals."*
The most important thing for all of us
is to have perfect unity in 'faith'.
By chanting daimoku together in resonant voices,
let's victoriously achieve all of our goals throughout the spring time month of March!
*"Many in Body, One in Mind" - WND-I, page 618

"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Another name for "Buddha" is "hero of the world"
To be victorious in the realities of daily life
is what Buddhism is all about.
To find ways to overcome any and all kinds of difficulties
is what our faith and practice is there for!
Let's confront all challenges with an absolutely indomitable spirit!
*The Hero of the World is another name for the Buddha, so called because he valiantly confronts all sufferings and leads all people to enlightenment. The "Parable of the Phantom City" chapter of the Lotus Sutra reads, "World hero without peer, you who adorn yourself with a hundred blessings, you have attained unsurpassed wisdom. "-
"The Hero of the World", WND-I, page 835-841
