-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"As for the Lotus Sutra, one may ...
rejoice in hearing the voice of someone else
rejoice in the hearing ..."*
The joy of our faith and practice is
what inspires and motivates everyone's spirits.
Let's share our own personal experiences
of doing and attending SGI activities!
*"The Recitation of the 'Expedient Means' and 'Life Span' Chapters" - WND-I, page 68
**"No joy is greater than the joy of propagating the Mystic Law. Nothing is greater than the joy of seeing other people become happy as a result of our efforts in dialogue. And when we rejoice at other's happiness, our own lives become increasingly pure." (The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra, Vol. 5, "The Benefits of Responding with Joy" Chapter)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The momentum for our victory
is created through our discussion meetings.
Someone's courage to take on challenges inspires
another to summon up their courage to do the same.
Strengthening our solidarity,
let's all advance together!
