-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
It's through taking on the challenges
in our immediate vicinity that
our human revolution begins.

By doing a truly vibrant gongyo
and chanting as much
powerful daimoku as we can,
let's again today advance one more step.
Let's achieve a new record for ourselves

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The most distinguishing characteristic of Nichiren Buddhism is its emphasis on kosen-rufu—the widespread propagation of the Mystic Law.
"It is a teaching that urges us to dedicate ourselves to spreading the Mystic Law, the universal law of life, throughout the world and realising happiness and peace for all humanity, because this is the mission for which we were born into this world and the path to our own happiness as well.
"In Nichiren Buddhism, therefore, we practice for both ourselves and others. We strive in our Buddhist practice not just to gain the benefits of the Law ourselves, but to share the teachings with others and introduce them to the practice so that they, too, can gain the same benefits.
"The Daishonin states: 'You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. . . . Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase' (WND-1, 386). Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and sharing the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism with others are the two wheels of our Buddhist practice."
