-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Each and every one of us is a priceless 
and irreplaceable treasure tower.*
Dialogue, 
full of sincerity and conviction, 
is what awakens people's Buddha nature.
Let's adorn our local community with
capable, talented people!

*"Abutsu-bō is therefore the treasure tower itself, and the treasure tower is Abutsu-bō himself. No other knowledge is purposeful."  (On the Treasure Tower - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, page 299)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, page 681) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Oct 6th,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The best way to attain Buddhahood is to encounter a good friend' (WND-1, 598). If you have big dreams and press forwards together with good friends, encouraging one another, you will never reach a deadlock."
