-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our gallant members in the great Kyushu area,
whom I deeply trust,
let's together climb a new mountain of glorious victory.
In your land, the Land of Fire,*
raise a shout of triumph
as the vanguard of our kosen-rufu movement!
*Kyushu is the southernmost of the four main islands of Japan. It is well known for its numerous active volcanoes and is called the "Land of Fire".

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This body of ours in the end will become nothing more than the soil of the hills and fields. Therefore, it is useless to begrudge your life, for though you may wish to, you cannot cling to it forever. Even people who live a long time rarely live beyond the age of one hundred. And all the events of a lifetime are like the dream one dreams in a brief nap."
(The Fourteen Slanders - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 760) Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shinbun, November 26th, 2012

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
No eloquent speeches can surpass the truth.
Let's talk about our movement with conviction,
pride and confidence.
Let's shine the bright light of SGI's humanism
on the chaotic society we live in!
