-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We practice the Mystic Law
that promises that no prayer will go unanswered.
Our voices, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,
definitely can move even the universe.
No matter what we might encounter,
let's always make every effort to advance, onwards and upwards!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come."
(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 622) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, January 9th, 2012

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The expansion of kosen-rufu movement starts
right where our feet are now!
Let's always be thinking of and cherishing
the people in our immediate environment.
Let's consistently have the courage
to start up a conversation
and spread a light of hope to everyone around us!
