--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Life is limited; we must not begrudge it. What we should ultimately aspire to is the Buddha land."

(Aspiration for the Buddha Land - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 214) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 21st, 2014

— WORDS OF THE WEEK —
"Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions."*
This is the spirit of the SGI.
Let's speak out for justice and truth boldly!
Let's speak up without hesitation 
and let's always try to talk with a bright and cheerful voice!

*"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions." - "On Persecutions Befalling the Sage", WND-I, page 997
