-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Seemingly small matters are often very important.
It is the accumulation of small victories that
opens wide the way to the future.
Let's joyfully live out October, the month of the harvest!

--- 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."

(The Opening of the Eyes, The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. I, page 283)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 1st, 2012

October 1st - 7th, 2012
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
We experience true pleasure in life
when we are able to courageously face and overcome all kinds of hardships.
The Gosho says: "Strive ever harder in faith, and never give in to negligence."*
Let's joyfully and fervently carry out our daily practice of Gongyo and Daimoku
so that we can manifest our full potential of the Buddha from within
and be constantly victorious!
