-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our local SGI district is the very place
where we can feel safe and at ease
and at the same develop.
With joy and enthusiasm,
let's make great strides forwards
and open up the way to a future that is full of hope.
Let's do all we can to expand our circle of friends.

"Carry through with your faith in the Lotus Sutra. You cannot strike fire from flint if you stop halfway."

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
From the conversations we have with others new and exciting events can evolve.
From thoughtful and encouraging words, we can inspire confidence and courage.
"The voice carries out the work of the Buddha."*
From our discussion meetings where our Soka family gathers,
let's create a great surge of kosen-rufu!
