-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us always be kind and considerate of our precious fellow members
who so kindly offer the use of their homes as meeting places,
as well as to all of their family members
(for their understanding and cooperation).
Let us be grateful and appreciative (of the space and time they offer,
as well as the effort they put into preparing, clearing up etc.)!
We cannot forget that our movement for kosen-rufu is only possible
because of these "treasure houses."
The good fortune of such noble people is indeed, unlimited!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 279)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, March 10th, 2010
March 15th - 22nd, 2010
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Burning passionately with the Gakkai spirit,
let us hold discussion meetings that overflow
with immeasurable joy and enthusiasm!
From the day of succession - March 16th, to the day of victory - May 3rd,*
let us create waves of courageous dialogue all around us!
* March 16th is kosen-rufu day. In 1958, more than 6,000 youth attended a ceremony at the head temple - Taisekiji, where President Josei Toda passes responsibility for the spread of the Daishonin's Buddhism to all youth division members.
May 3rd is the Soka Gakkai day. This is the day that President Ikeda was inaugurated as the 3rd president of the Soka Gakkai.
