-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Constantly doing a vibrant gongyo is
the source of good health and a fulfilling life.
By using our wisdom to maintain
a good rhythm in our daily lives,
let's create value each and every day,
cheerfully, happily and in good health!

"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."

Nichiren Daishonin, Volume I, page 64) Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"However great the hardships and suffering they may experience, those who are striving for kosen-rufu have already, at a most fundamental level, overcome them because the sun of the boundless life state of Bodhisattva and Buddhahood shines in their hearts. Undaunted by the dark nights of karmic suffering, they bring their lives to shine brightly, illuminating the darkness and ushering in a dawn of revitalisation.
"...While none of us can escape the four sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death, Buddhism teaches a means to resolve life's fundamental problems through awakening us to the eternal and unchanging nature of life.
"In the course of life there may be painful times and sad times, and even times when we lose hope. But by chanting daimoku before the Gohonzon, we can bring forth strength and limitless life force. And as we continue to chant and share Nichiren Buddhism with others, we naturally come to transform our karma and accumulate great good fortune in our lives. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves and teaching others to do the same is the driving force for persevering through the harsh realities of society."
