-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now is the time to build, to do new things!
I hope that all "leaders" will be right on the forefront of our activities
and full of enthusiasm.
By making every possible effort to talk to our fellow members
and inspire them with warm encouragement,
let's take the initiative and create a new wave.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."

October 28th-November 3rd, 2013
--- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Every one of those people taking any of our SGI Introductory Study Exams
has a very important role to play in the new era for worldwide kosen-rufu.
The Daishonin teaches,
"Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism."*
Let's all continue to study and grow together!

*"Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practise and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practise and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase." - "The True Aspect of All Phenomena", WND-I, page 386
