-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Exert yourself in the two ways
of practice and study."*
This is the Buddhism of the sun
that people around the world
are eagerly studying.
Let's enthusiastically challenge ourselves
to always have a seeking spirit!
*Gosho- WND-I, page 386

"The fact that her prayers have gone unanswered is like a strong bow with a weak bowstring, or a fine sword in the hands of a coward.."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No life is completely free from problems and difficulties.. What matters is that we bring forth boundless courage, wisdom and life force so that we may calmly surmount every challenge and hardship that arises.. That is the purpose of our faith. We study Buddhism in order to learn the fundamental path for living with true humanity and to make our own character shine its brightest."
The Eternal Citadel of Soka, Pursuing the Great Way of Practice and Study, from 10th June 2018 issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released Aug. 2018
