— TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our Men's Division members,
who are working so hard in society,
and whom we are so proud of,
chant daimoku with a lion king's roar,
and may you overcome every single surge of challenges.
No matter what happens,
be absolutely determined to win
and show actual proof of victory!

"This passage refers to the great joy that one experiences when one understands for the first time that one's mind from the very beginning has been a Buddha. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys."

(The Essential Passage in Each of the Twenty-eight Chapters, Prophecy of Enlightenment for Five Hundred Disciples - The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 211) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Mar 17th, 2014

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
For those of you who are about to start
a new school or job and/or move to a new place to live,
try to get off to a refreshing new start!
Such situations are a great opportunity to open up new horizons in our lives.
Brimming with a sense of gratitude and appreciation,
approach each challenge courageously!
