-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"Not once have I thought of retreat."*
It is by our continuos efforts to traverse the waves of hardships
that we significantly revolutionise our lives.
Let's all live out our lives to the very last moment
by fulfilling the vow that we ourselves have made!

*"The Great Battle" - WND-II, page 465

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Birds and crickets cry, but never shed tears. I, Nichiren, do not cry, but my tears flow ceaselessly. I shed my tears not for worldly affairs but solely for the sake of the Lotus Sutra."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 386) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 30th, 2013

September 30th-October 6th, 2013
--- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
When we promote our SGI publications to others,
we are helping more and more people to form a connection with Buddhism
at the same time we are spreading happiness.
With words full of hope and courage
(from our SGI publications),
let's shine a brilliant light on these chaotic times!
