-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The victories in our own local district are
what accelerate the advancement of kosen-rufu.
Let's make our goals and targets absolutely clear
and advance together in one mind
for the sake of the prosperity of our local community!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, January 16th, 2012

January 16th-22nd, 2012
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
SGI's discussion meetings are an oasis of "hope"
and the springboard of "courage".
Each and everyone of us has a vital role to play in meetings.
Let's all be enthusiastic about sharing our personal experiences
of practising this Buddhism!
