-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When each one of us at our planning meetings tries to understand
the purpose of our goals and targets, etc.,
we will have the driving force for our solidarity and progress.
So that everyone truly feels they wish to exert themselves
in spreading our kosen-rufu movement,
let's constantly aspire to creating an atmosphere
where each one of us can strengthen our faith!

"Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."
(Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 598) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 22nd, 2013
April 22nd-28th, 2013
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
We are close to the 760th anniversary
of the Daishonin's declaration of his teachings (on April 28th of this year).
We, SGI members, are courageously carrying on the same spirit
demonstrated by the Daishonin from the time of his proclamation of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.
Through engaging in dialogue
to spread the humanistic principles of Nichiren Buddhism
for the sake of a peaceful and prosperous world,
let's help as many people as possible to form a connection with Buddhism.
*On April 28th, 1253, a great declaration rang out with the power to illuminate the lives of all humanity. It was Nichiren Daishonin's first proclamation of his teaching of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, issuing from his home province of Awa (present-day southern Chiba Prefecture) and echoing into the eternal future of the Latter Day of the Law.
