-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our Soka-han and Gajo-kai group members,*
who shoulder an important mission to open up a new era,
are also exerting themselves in sharing this Buddhism with others.
Boldly and enthusiastically, (just like the Soka-Han and Gajo-Kai,)
let's each of us play out a drama of achieving our human revolutions!
*Soka-han members help guide and look after participants at meetings particularly outside our SGI community centres.
Gajo-kai group members play an active role as guards and security for the same community centres inside and often late into the night.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When you shake your head, your hair sways; when your mind beging to work, your body moves. When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?"
(Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Fasioned by Nichigen-nyo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 2, page 811) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 29th, 2013

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The dynamic growth and progress of
our Future (primary and secondary school students) Division members,
is the very driving force for everyone's eternal victory.
Let's all try to work together to raise these capable people and
support the development of their talents and abilities.
Together, let's have a truly meaningful summer this year
in which every one of us can really develop our lives.
