-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho says: "Yet a hundred or even a thousand people
can definitely attain their goal, if they are of one mind."*
The invaluable bonds and unity between fellow members
are the driving force of progress for the entire Soka organisation.
Let's always advance with the spirit of 'many in body and one in mind.'
*Gosho, Many in Body, One in Mind - WND-1, pg 618)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In the end, no one can escape death. The sufferings at that time will
be exactly like what we are experiencing now. Since death is the same
in either case, you should be willing to offer your life for the Lotus Sutra."
(The Dragon Gate - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page
1003) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October
16th, 2013

--- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The discussion meetings of Soka are a refreshing oasis
in the heart of our local community.
Let's share the joy of living with our new members
as well as with our young people - the treasures of the future,
and impart them with the strength to live life to the fullest.
This is where the drama of victory begins!
