— TO MY FRIENDS --
May the lion king's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
resound throughout the world and into the future!
With the burning spirit to achieve kosen-rufu,
let's build a peaceful land full of hope where we are right now
and so fulfil our very unique and individual missions!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But my life from the beginning has been based upon firm conviction. I have no intention now of reversing my course, nor will I ever reproach [those who persecuted me]. Evil persons too will be good friends to me."

(Why No Protection from the Heavenly Gods? - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 432) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 2nd, 2013

December 2nd-8th, 2013
--- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin encourages us,
"The voice carries out the work of the Buddha."*
Brimming with enthusiasm and strong life force,
let's engage in warm and friendly conversations with others.
Let's make some really good friends!
This is the way to start a new era!
