* Had a national press holiday today in Japan so "Words of the Week" has been held over to cover the gap. Hope that is OK.

Translations of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

February 11th-17th, 2013
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Let's spread a light of spring and hope into society
by making good use of our Youth Seminars.*
Let's invite this friend and that friend to these seminars
and expand the world of Soka!
Great strides forward are born from being courageous.

(*)The Soka Gakkai monthly leaders meeting for February, which will be rebroadcast throughout Japan this week, is meant to be a forum (especially for youth) for introducing friends to Nichiren Buddhism and the SGI. Everyone who spoke, including President Harada, shared their personal experience that included episodes with President Ikeda.
