— TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's greet people with courtesy.
Let's speak in a voice brimming with life force.
Such human excellence is
what opens the door to people's hearts.
Let's try to become the type of person
who is good at developing friendly relationships with others.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"As you crave food when hungry, seek water when thirsty, long to see a lover, beg for medicine when ill, or as a beautiful woman desires powder and rouge, so should you put your faith in the Lotus Sutra."

(Persecution by Sword and Staff - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 965) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Mar 3rd, 2014

Mar 3rd-9th, 2014
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Let's not forget the importance of giving
encouragement and inspiration on a personal level.
If one single individual decides to stand up,
that person's whole family and even their local community will change.
By making more effort than ever to inspire our fellow members,
let's create a surge of joy and happiness around us!
