-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"What exactly is it that I need to accomplish today?"
People who are clear about what it is that they need to achieve
have a strong sense of purpose in their lives.
Let's chant daimoku with clear goals in mind,
and daringly challenge them!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Life at each moment encompasses the body and mind and the self and environment of all sentient beings in the Ten Worlds as well as all insentient beings in the three thousand realms, including plants, sky, earth, and even the minutest particles of dust. Life at each moment permeates the entire realm of phenomena and is revealed in all phenomena."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 3)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Promoting dialogue with other people is, at the same time,
the noble task of helping them to develop a connection
with Buddhism in their hearts.
It is a movement to spread happiness.
Let us all enthusiastically challenge ourselves and be victorious!
