-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The essence of the SGI family is for us to be able to gather
and encourage and inspire each other.
Together, in both good times and bad,
let's continue to chant daimoku, challenge ourselves,
and always encourage each other.
And let us advance together in unity and harmony!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 4th, 2011

April 4th-10th, 2011
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The unified spirit of "different in body but united in mind"
is the most powerful driving force for victory.
By having perfect unity amongst everyone in the SGI,
let us overcome everything, no matter what,
for the sake of kosen-rufu!

*"Although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind, they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra." - "Many in Body, One in Mind", WND-1, page 618
