-- TO MY FRIENDS --
By continually practicing the Mystic Law,
by continually practising together with our fellow members,
let's advance everyday,
let's be successful everyday.
And together let us head directly towards glorious victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff.."
(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 18th, 2011

April 18th-24th, 2011
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin encourages us,
"You must raise your voice all the more
and admonish [those who slander]."*
What decides victory is our unyielding perseverance
to refute all injustice,or lies,
no matter what the circumstances.
In order for justice and truth to prevail,
we must be absolutely victorious!
