-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always have a caring and concerned ear
for what our fellow members have to say.
Let's help them to confront their problems, chant daimoku with them,
and unflaggingly support them,
until the sun of hope rises within their hearts.

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin teaches that
the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions.*
Using the Seikyo Shimbun newspaper or our other SGI publications,
let's share this Buddhism with others
and help them to have hope and courage.
Let's sincerely chant daimoku
for the happiness of our friends and associates
and enthusiastically help them to form a connection with Buddhism.
*"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions, and for this reason they preach the single vehicle.'" - "The Properties of Rice", WND-I, page 1117)
