February 20th-26th, 2017
-- Words of the Week --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"One is the mother of ten thousand."*
With the type of voice
that can summon forth the spring,
let's try to encourage
let's try to encourage
each and every person
whom we have a chance to meet
and make them an ally of our movement.
From such actions,
whom we have a chance to meet
and make them an ally of our movement.
From such actions,
countless waves of hope are born.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Studying the Gosho produces, develops, and provides training for capable individuals. The Gosho pulses with the great life force of the Daishonin, who fought his hardest as the votary of the Lotus Sutra. At Gosho lectures, both the lecturer and the participants come into contact with the Daishonin's lion-like state of life. Their own life states cannot fail to expand immensely. That is precisely why the Soka Gakkai sees Gosho lectures as important forums or training grounds for fostering capable people."
