— TO MY FRIENDS --
Especially when we're busy,
let's be sure to use our faith and practice as the way of focusing
and by doing so,
let's courageously take on every challenge that confronts us.
By showing our sincerity and integrity and by being patient,
let's become a reliable and trustworthy pillar and light
in our workplace.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Kyō'ō's misfortune will change into fortune. Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved?"
(Reply to Kyō'ō - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 412) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Mar 24th, 2014

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Ah, spring!
The season to get out and about.
Let's go here and there to visit our friends!
The Daishonin encourages us to chant
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same.*
Let's spread a brilliant and refreshing breeze of hope
to the people around us.
*"Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present life in this human world." - "Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra", WND-I, page 64
