-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The light that can brighten up this era is to be found
in our local SGI discussion meeting.
Let's exuberantly share our experiences
of practicing Nichiren Buddhism
and invite as many new friends to these meetings as we can.
Let's hold a really vibrant, meaningful and harmonious meeting!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It also states that, if the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4) Selection source: SGI-Poland member's experience, Seikyo Shimbun, September 12th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When members can engage freely and cheerfully in activities, autonomy and creativity are fostered and the movement can expand without limit. And as long as we persevere steadily in our faith, just as the Earth follows steadily its path through the universe, kosen-rufu advances."
