-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Even if there is nobody around to see what we're doing,
let's continue, to the very end,
to devote ourselves to fulfilling our unique missions!
Sincerity is our mark of pride and honour.
The Buddhas and bodhisattvas are definitely witnessing
all of our efforts and struggles for the sake of kosen-rufu.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."
(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 909) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, March 19th, 2012

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Let's give three cheers to all of those who are about to start
a new school, a new job or about to relocate.
Wherever we might be, let's always remember that
it is the "Capital of Eternally Tranquil Light".*
Taking pride as members of the Soka Family,
let's give it our all and hoist the banner of victory high!
*"Wherever we dwell and practice the single vehicle, that place will be the Capital of Eternally Tranquil Light." - "Reply to Sairen-bo", WND-I, page 313
