-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches us,

To all of our treasured fellow members

let's offer heartfelt words of
let's offer heartfelt words of

and praise them with words of

It's through such expressions that
golden waves of joy are created
one after another.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Merely chanting to the Gohonzon does not make us 'of the same mind as Nichiren.' To be passionately determined to take action to share Nichiren Buddhism with others and realise kosen-rufu is to be 'of the same mind as Nichiren.'"
