-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Our local community is the very starting point for "Rissho Ankoku"
(Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land)*.
Let's make every effort to invite new people to our Soka family gatherings
and let the sunlight of happiness and fulfillment shine in our communities.

-- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If Nichiren's compassion is truly great and encompassing, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will spread for ten thousand years and more, for all eternity, for it has the beneficial power to open the blind eyes of every living being in the country of Japan, and it blocks off the road that leads to the hell of incessant suffering."
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 736) Selection source: Buddhist study for new members, Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 13th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The struggle really starts from now. When we overcome one obstacle, without wasting a moment we should move on to the next. That is the spirit of the Daishonin's Buddhism of True Cause."
