-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our fellow members in the noble Kyushu* area,
you, with your amazing commitment to the shared struggle of mentor and disciple,
are in the pole position of our kosen-rufu activities!
Your solidarity on the Land of Fire* is indeed unrivalled.
By speaking with strong voices of conviction,
let's climb to the top of the mountain of glory and triumph!
*Kyushu is the southernmost of the four main islands of Japan. It is well known
for its numerous active volcanoes and is called the "Land of Fire".

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The truth of three thousand realms in a single moment of life too has its origins in this single word 'belief' or 'faith,' and it is through this single word 'belief' that the Buddhas of the three existences of past, present, and future attained their enlightenment. This word 'belief' is a sharp sword that cuts off fundamental darkness or ignorance."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 725, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 54) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 8th, 2013

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
I sincerely hope that every one of us will live victoriously and successfully
to the very last moment of our lives with pride, confidence and dignity.
And indeed in order that we are able to do so
we are taking on the challenges we face right now.
Enthusiastically, let's break down those walls of obstacles that are in front of us!
