-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's chant with strong determination
and confidently and dynamically put our faith into action!
Let's also make every effort
to have cheerful conversations with others,
(helping and showing people what our movement is all about.)
The Buddhist gods, the protective forces of the universe,
will definitely assist those
who dedicate themselves to achieving kosen-rufu.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"On the other, it is to voice what one truly has in mind. Thus one's thoughts are expressed in one's voice. The mind represents the spiritual aspect, and the voice, the physical aspect. The spiritual aspect manifests itself in the physical."

(Opening the Eyes of Wooden and Painted Images - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 86)

April 26th - May 2nd, 2010
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Hip hip hurray for Soka Mother's Day!*
What makes our Soka mothers happier than anything else
is when they see the Men's Division members' making progress
and the Youth Division members' taking the initiative in activities.
Let's always take action based on a strong sense of appreciation!

* May 3 is Soka Gakkai Day and Soka Mother's Day.
