A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

May 7th-13th, 2012
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Capable individuals are fostered through their own practical experiences.
Young people can develop by practising and studying this Buddhism.
Together with our newly joined members,
who all have profound missions,
let's chant daimoku together, take action together,
and build a great solidarity of capable people
where each and every one of us can fulfil our own important roles.
