A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

August 20th-26th, 2018
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Now is the time,
from our upcoming discussion meetings,
to start anew with irrepressible joy!
Together, cheerfully 
and carefully looking after each other,
let's make the memories 
of our present lives in this human world,
just as the Daishonin teaches,
chanting 
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves 
and urging others to do the same!*

*"Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present life in this human world." 
- WND-I, page 64
