-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Autumn abundantly fragrant with cultural achievements is here!
Our music bands and fife-and-drum corps celebrate our 80th anniversary
through laurels and accolades that make us so proud!*
Cheers ring out to applaud their wonderful performances
that have brought hope and courage to one and all!
* The Soka Gloria band won their 7th Gold Medal at the national orchestral contest.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The body is the palace of the ninth consciousness, the unchanging reality that reigns over all of life's functions."
(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 832)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As the famous Danish author and storyteller Hans Christian Andersen (1805-75) once observed: 'Life is a charming tale, and I have learned to sing.' Faith in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism enables all people to make this life into a song of 'the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212)."
