-- TO MY FRIENDS --
How we end this year determines the momentum for the next.
It is therefore vital at this time of the year
to start the day off by chanting earnest daimoku
especially when we have a hectic schedule ahead of us.
Let's try to have a thoroughgoing approach to a glorious 2013!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 200) Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shinbun, December 24th, 2012

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Thank you so much for all your efforts to make this year
such a victorious year of consistent expansion and development.
Let's stay healthy, free from accidents and absolutely safe
and cheerfully complete all of our tasks for this year.
Let's strive together, next year also, to win in all the challenges we face!
