-- TO MY FRIENDS --
From our very own district,
let's raise as many excellent individuals as we can,
create a surge of great joyful daimoku,
and develop perfect unity with the spirit of "many in body,
one in mind."
Together let's create a whole new chapter in our history!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes."

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin encourages us,
"You must speak with even greater fervour."*
Brimming with the spirit to introduce others to the practice,
let's share this great philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism.
Then the seed of true happiness
will definitely be planted in people's lives.
*"Though you may think that there is no more use in trying to persuade other, to those who would oppose the correct teaching you must speak with even greater fervour. And while life remains in you, you will surely see the results of your efforts." -
"Regarding the Birth of Kyo'o", WND-II, page 457
