* Apologies for the delay today! Yahoo decided to eat all our work!! But we have not given up!! Also could we warn you that there will be a few tests this week on the service as the TMF team are off around the world for holidays and various other things. We will endeavour during the next month or so to keep a daily service going but there may be a day or two when we have to wait until the next day to be near a Wifi service. Finally mails will be coming from Mitsuko, Ritu and of course Scobie-john. All the best and hope you have a great summer! Or winter if you are down and under!

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In Okinawa,
where the starting point for our peace movement stands,
our fellow members are striving to do their very best,
with the full commitment to realising their mentor's dream.
For the sake of establishing a peaceful land for eternity,
let's muster up all our courage and meet and talk with as many people as we can!
Let's live out our lives
by fulfilling our missions as Bodhisattvas of the Earth.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 283) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 15th, 2013

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
We are the pillars of peace.
Our victories are the light of hope for the world!
By exerting ourselves, without leaving any regrets behind,
in all the challenges that we now face,
let's achieve monumental victories
for both kosen-rufu and our own lives!
