-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always advance together with our fellow members!
Our perfect unity,
in the spirit of "Many in Body, One in Mind,"
is the driving force for our advancment.
In our local community,
where we each have our unique missions to fulfill,
let's strive to establish a harmonious society.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"For though one's trustworthiness may at first go unnoticed, in time it will be openly rewarded."
(The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 636) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, May 27th, 2013

May 27th-June 2nd, 2013
---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The benefit of our practice even just for one day
surpasses a hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss.*
In Buddhism, none of our actions go to waste.
Let's give whatever it is that we are involved in today,
our very best shot!

*"A hundred years of practise in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practise in the impure world." - "On Repaying Debts of Gratitude", WND-I, page 736
