* Just to forewarn you tomorrow is a Japanese press holiday so there will be no "To My Friends" tomorrow, but we will carry on with the rest of the service the TMF Team provides!
A translation of President Ikeda's "Words of the Week"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.
Nov. 9th-16th, 2014
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
This Buddhism is for the purpose of winning in life.
The vow to achieve kosen-rufu enables us to achieve our human revolution.
When we put our faith into action, we can change our karma.
Brimming with the great noble spirit of the Soka Gakkai's founding,
let's create our very own golden history of kosen-rufu!
