-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"It is said that where there is unseen virtue,
there will be visible reward."*
Those who continually make steady efforts
will definitely be victorious in the end.
By constantly having a fresh resolve and determination,
let's break through those walls that we now face.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(It also states that, if the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land.) There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4) Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shinbun, October 22nd, 2012

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
When we activate the very strongest of powers of faith and practice,
we manifest the boundless power of the Buddha and the Law.
It is important that we focus clearly on the target we want to achieve
and give it our all without hesitation.
Let's challenge ourselves, boldly and with enthusiasm!
