-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Time is priceless.
Let's try to finish meetings and planning get-togethers as scheduled
and ensure that they are meaningful and value creating.
Making all the necessary preparations is also very important.
Let's always try to be wise and sensible leaders!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There is definitely something extraordinary in the ebb and flow of the tide, the rising and setting of the moon, and the way in which summer, autumn, winter, and spring give way to each other. Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."
(The Three Obstacles and Four Devils - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 637) Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, January 28th, 2013
January 28th-February 3rd, 2013
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
In this up-coming traditional month of the SGI - February,
let's achieve an outstanding victory for ourselves!
For the sake of kosen-rufu and our own self improvement,
let's start anew by first and foremost
chanting daimoku with the strong resolve to win.
It is then that a path will most definitely open up for us!
