-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Rather than comparing ourselves to others,
what is far more important is that we conquer our own weaknesses,
but be patient!
It is vital that we strive to improve ourselves,
steadily and continually, and cultivate our abilities and strengths
so that we can fulfil our own very personal and unique missions,
challenging ourselves each and every day!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Kyo'o's misfortune will change into fortune. Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved?"
(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 748)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 25th, 2010
October 25th-31st, 2010
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin encourages us to:
"exert ourselves in the two ways of practice and study."*
This is what the youthful SGI spirit is all about!
As the Soka Gakkai's traditional study entrance exam season
is approaching (here in Japan),
let's all study Buddhism and its great philosophy together,
and share what we learn with as many people as we possibly can!
*"Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase." -"The True Aspect of All Phenomena", WND-I, page 386
