-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I would like to express my utmost appreciation and respect
to all of our block/group leaders who are making so much effort
at the very forefront of our movement's activities.
Your steady and persistent efforts are indeed the very
driving force of kosen-rufu's advancement.
I am sincerely chanting that each and every one of you
stays healthy and is victorious.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life. This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith. Foolish men are likely to forget the promises they have made when the crucial moment comes."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 283)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Now, as the golden autumn sets in, we celebrate the 80th
anniversary of the Soka Gakkai's founding.
The more we do,
the more others can form a connection to Buddhism.
And the more we share this Buddhism with others,
the more benefit and good fortune we all can accumulate.
Strengthening our faith "more than ever",
let's courageously and joyfully
achieve even greater development and expansion!
