-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No matter what happens,
let's try to move forwards with vigour!
The very basis for such vigour is to chant daimoku.
Let's chant with bold strong voices
that will rock the protective forces of the universe.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4) Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shinbun, October 29th, 2012
October 29th-November 4th, 2012
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin inspires us with the words,
"My wish is that all my disciples make a great vow."*
The significant month of the Soka Gakkai's founding is about to begin.
Brimming with determination to fulfill the great vow of kosen-rufu,
let's achieve outstanding self improvement and at the same time
help as many people to form a connection with Buddhism as we possibly can!
