-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's shine a light of hope in front of
each one of our district members
by offering warm and sincere words of encouragement.
By chanting and taking on challenges together,
let's, with great cheer and enthusiasm,
play out life's dramas happily and joyfully.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement,'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
To stand up for the sake of justice takes a lot of courage.
Just as the Daishonin encourages us,
"(From now on, too, no matter what may happen,)
you must not slacken in the least."*
Let's indeed speak out, without hesitation,
for the sake of justice and truth with confidence and conviction.
By making such great tenacious efforts,
let's open up that way to victory!
