-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's the victories within our district that decide the future of kosen-rufu.
By pooling everyone's wisdom,
let's all advance in one mind!
Let's build an ideal solidarity in our district.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When the bodhisattva Never Disparaging makes his bow of obeisance to the four kinds of believers, the Buddha nature inherent in the four kinds of believers of overbearing arrogance is bowing in obeisance to the bodhisattva Never Disparaging. It is like the situation when one faces a mirror and makes a bow of obeisance: the image in the mirror likewise makes a bow of obeisance to oneself."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 769, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 165) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, January 23rd, 2012

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin state,
"Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism."*
It is in the midst of taking action that we truly grow and develop.
It is through working together to achieve our mutual goals
that capable individuals are raised.
Let's all strive together to sow the "seeds of peace" far and wide!
