-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nothing is more beautiful than people
who live out their lives with honesty and sincerity.
In our local community, at work, wherever we are,
let's make every possible effort to build a golden bridge between others
so that everyone can trust each other
and feel happy to develop friendly relations.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"
(The Three Kinds of Treasure- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK----
Let's always cherish our precious fellow members with all their great potential.
It is important that we continually give warm caring encouragement to each other
especially to students who are presently preparing for school entrance exams.
By winning in this Future Division Victory Month,*
let's make a fresh new start, full of hope, for the next year.
*In Japan, December has been named "Future Division Victory Month" and one of the focal points for SGI activities this month is the support for the growth and development of primary and secondary school students.
