-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The advancement of kosen-rufu originates from what goes on
at our local district planning meeting.
With us all being of one mind in contributing
to the prosperity of our local community,
let's begin a brand new drama of victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 385)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 30th, 2010

August 30th-September 5th, 2010
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
"... then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others."*
Let's make every possible effort
to talk about Buddhism with our youth.
In our local community,
where we all have a role to play,
let's begin to raise numerous young Bodhisattvas of the Earth!

*"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", WND-I, page 385
