— TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Thrust aside evil friends and
associate with good companions."*
To associate with our good fellow members and
senior members in faith is the very way to happiness.
Let's encourage each other and advance together!

*The Lotus Sutra, "Simile and Parable" chapter

--- 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 7th, 2014

April 7th-13th, 2014
— WORDS OF THE WEEK —
Together with our newly enrolled students and employees in society,
let's make a fresh new start.
Victory depends on how we start each morning.
By doing a resonant gongyo and chanting daimoku,
let's win in today's challenge(s) yet again!
