-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Now, let's really make some dynamic advancement
in this tradition-filled month of February,
"What are the keys to achieving this? They are:
1) expanding our prayer
2) expanding our state of life
3) expanding our courage
"By expanding these three aspects—our prayer, state of life and courage—let us joyously advance into a new era in our own lives, our communities, and the world!"
starting off with our very own district and group!
Those who are courageous are always
Those who are courageous are always
actively participating in the hive of our activities.
Let's cheerfully and happily share
Let's cheerfully and happily share
this Buddhism with others,
starting with ourselves spreading it to
two, three and then even a hundred people
just as the Daishonin encourages us to do.*
*"At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others. Propagation will unfold this way in the future as well. Does this not signify 'emerging from the earth'?" - "The True Aspect of All Phenomena", WND-I, page 385
