-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our district planning meetings are the very wellspring of our wisdom
and the source of our unity.
Using fresh and original ideas and our ingenuity,
let's create a surge from the very forefront of our movement.
Remember, each and every one of us
has such an important role to play towards kosen-rufu!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Buddhism is all about our behaviour as human beings.*
Whenever we meet someone,
let's greet them with a really refreshing voice.
When we take action for others,
let's express our utmost sincerity and concern.
Cherishing all the friendships we have with everyone around us,
let's shine as a pillar in our local community!
*"The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being." - "The Three Kinds of Treasure", WND-I, page 852
