-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"Fortune comes from one's heart and makes one worthy of respect."*
Those who always have a sense of appreciation and gratitude
never reach an impasse.
By praising and encouraging each other,
let's continue to make great progress together.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, those who become Nichiren's disciples and lay believers should realise the profound karmic relationship they share with him and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does."

(Letter to Jakunichi-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 994)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, January 24th, 2011

January 24th-30th, 2011
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Just a simple word or two to acknowledge someone
will often open up the door to friendly relations.
Warm encouragement given to one person
causes a wave of development of many other capable people.
Today again, let's take one more step forwards!
