-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our deep appreciation for the constant noble efforts
of our members living in apartment and housing complexes,
the ambassadors of happiness in their local communities!
It's thanks to all your dedicated efforts to connect with everyone
that the fragrant flowers of happy smiling faces
are blossoming everywhere!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, from the very day you listen to [and take faith in] this
sutra, you should be fully prepared to face the great persecutions of
the three types of enemies that are certain to be more horrible now
after the Buddha's passing. Although my disciples had already heard
this, when both great and small persecutions confronted us, some were so astounded and terrified that they even forsook their faith."
(On Practicing the Buddha's Teachings - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, page 391). Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 22nd, 2013

"We have all been born into this world with our own unique and irreplaceable mission. When we are able to deeply recognise that mission, our lives will gain greater spiritual depth. And when we earnestly devote ourselves to fulfilling our mission, we will develop greater life force."
