-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
All of our hard work and selfless devotion
for the sake of kosen-rufu
definitely becomes golden benefit
and good fortune.
Just as the Daishonin teaches,
"the wise will rejoice,"*
let's joyfully take action
Just as the Daishonin teaches,
"the wise will rejoice,"*
let's joyfully take action
and cheerfully share this Buddhism
and its philosophy with others!
Let's always advance boldly and unyieldingly
no matter what may confront us!
"Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat." - "The Three Obstacles and Four Devils", WND-I, page 637

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A noble life, lived with the proud satisfaction of having dedicated oneself to the Mystic Law, is certain to inspire others and illuminate the future. An undertaking into which we have poured all our energy and passion will continue to shine on for all time. When we dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu, we can attain a state of happiness that will endure eternally throughout the three existences of past, present, and future."
