-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is nothing more beautiful in life
than the bond between mentor and disciple.
Let's advance victoriously along our chosen path of faith,
cheerfully and in high spirits!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 283)

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Let us hold bright and hope-filled "Family Meetings."*
The seeds of encouragement that we sow now

Let's help to nurture the talents and capabilities in people,
and embellish our palace with truly remarkable capable people!
