-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
From a mother's chanting,
victory is born.
From a woman's voice,
the future unfolds.
Hurrah for all of our SGI Women's Division members,
the greatest women division members in the world!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There should be no discrimination among those who propagate the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law, be they men or women. Were they not Bodhisattvas of the Earth, they could not chant the daimoku. At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others. Propagation will unfold this way in the future as well. Does this not signify 'emerging from the earth' ?"
(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 384)
