---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
"The seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions."*
To meet with people is in itself kosen-rufu.
With a spring in our steps,
let's get out and see our friends!

---- Daily Encouragement ----
"At the end of 'Letter to Sado', the Daishonin writes: 'I want people with seeking minds to meet and read this letter together for encouragement' (WND-1, 306).

"This passage underscores the importance of us gathering together and studying even a single sentence or passage of the Daishonin's writings. Doing so is a vital element in fostering capable people for kosen-rufu."
