-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the time to make progress!
"Here I come! I'm going to do it!"
With such enthusiasm,
let's spur ourselves into action.
Each and every day,
let's give it our all
so that we can proudly say at the end of each day,
"Today again I was successful. Today again I won!"

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Thus the word kudoku means to attain Buddhahood in one's present form. It also means the purification of the six sense organs. You should understand that to practice the Lotus Sutra as the sutra itself directs is to carry out purification of the six sense organs."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 762, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 148 The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page )

January 31st-February 6th, 2011
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
February-- the traditional month for our dynamic development in propagation.
Wisdom is found within the actual challenges we take on.
The joy is in the struggle at the forefront of our activities.
Let's stand up, right now, and take courageous action,
let's break through that impasse!
