-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always warmly reach out to any fellow members
who may have recently moved into the neighbourhood.
Our network of friendship within the local community
is one of the hallmarks of the warm bonds that we share as SGI members.
Let's continue to advance together towards our shared goal of kosen-rufu!

"This sutra is superior to all other sutras. It is like the lion king,
the monarch of all the creatures that run on the ground, and like the
eagle, the king of all the creatures that fly in the sky."
(The Sutra of True Requital - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 929)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
"'Joy' means that oneself and others together experience joy."*
Together, let's chant and encourage each other.
Together, let's take action and praise each other.
With our discussion meetings as our starting point,
let's engage in a harmoniously shared struggle of our human revolution.
* Gosho, Ongi kuden, Gosho Zenshu, page 761, The Record of the Orally
Transmitted Teachings, page 146: "'Joy' means that oneself and others
together experience joy." ... then both oneself and others together
will take joy in their possession of wisdom and compassion."
