-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The most important thing is that
we take one step forwards and do our best to win in today's challenges.
Challenging ourselves enables us to conquer our weakness.
By patiently making such a steady effort everyday,
we can lead truly glorious lives that shine brilliantly!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, I say to you, my disciples, try practicing as the Lotus Sutra teaches, exerting yourselves without begrudging your lives! Test the truth of Buddhism now!"

(The Selection of the Time - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 583) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, April 23rd, 2012

April 23rd-29th, 2012
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"Our commitment is to help all people bring forth their Buddha nature."
By making the profound vow to achieve kosen-rufu,
let's joyfully engage in dialogue as the forefront of our activities.
Everyone has the potential for positive change. *
By reaching out to others with a courageous voice,
let's help as many people as possible to form a connection with Buddhism!

*"Everyone has the potential for positive change. Because we believe in the Buddha nature of each person, we don't prejudge others or write them off... When we help someone form a connection to Buddhism, they will change in a positive way without fail through the power of the Mystic Law... Courage is the key!" (Editorial from the April 2012 issue of Daibyakurenge)
