-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The achievement of just one target
can create the momentum for a whole winning streak of victories.
One courageous person who stands up awakened to their mission
can create a surge of unprecedented achievements.
I am depending on each one of you to make such a breakthrough!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Myo means to revive, that is, to return to life."

(The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 149) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 4th, 2013

February 4th-10th, 2013
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Sharing this practise* is the direct way to happiness.
By making the effort to directly meet other people,
we can help them to form a connection with Buddhism.
By sharing Buddhism with them,
we can sow a seed of Buddhahood in their hearts.
And by chanting daimoku for their happiness,
our own Buddha nature starts to really blossom.
Let's muster up our courage
and put our faith into action now!
