-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is only when we decide to stand up and take full responsibility
that we can manifest our true potential.
Never think that it is up to someone else.
With the spirit of a lion,
determine to be the one who is victorious!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Life flashes by in but a moment. No matter how many terrible enemies you may encounter, banish all fears and never think of backsliding."
(On Practicing the Buddha's Teachings - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 395)
Selection source: Gosho study for January, Seikyo Shimbun, January 11th, 2011

January 11th - 16th, 2011
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Youth, you are the "sun" of victory.
Shine at the forefront of our activities for kosen-rufu
and excel on the "grand stage" of society.
Together with our young people who have now reached adulthood(*)
and who shoulder a profound mission,
let us all create waves upon waves of dialogue
that shimmer as wonderful silver and golden ripples upon the sea.

*January 10th, 2011, was the annual Coming-of-Age Day (or Adult's Day) in Japan for young people reaching twenty in this year.
