-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is precisely thanks to those members
who kindly offer their homes for our meetings and activities
that kosen-rufu in our local communities is able to advance.
Let's always make sure to show how so much we appreciate their kindness.
Let's all remember to be considerate of their family members
and to act sensibly when we are in their neighbourhoods.
And based on our strong sense of appreciation for them,
let's always look out for and treasure their properties.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 217)

---- WORD OF THE WEEK ----
It's our chapter, our district that are like great suns,
bathing everyone's life with good fortune.
Let's therefore, invite as many people to our meetings as we possibly can
and enlarge this great circle of happiness that we have created,
far and wide!
