-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Ah the golden time of
autumn discussion meetings!
By pulling everyone's daimoku
and creativity together,
let's hold meetings
that are full of positive energy!
Always making sure
to show our appreciation to the families
who are so kind to offer their homes for our meetings,
let's sow the seeds of happiness
through our vibrant discussions!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we courageously engage in dialogue out of a wish to realise happiness for ourselves and others, we are practising compassion.
"Mr. Toda said: 'As ordinary mortals, it can sometimes be difficult for us to summon forth compassion, but we can substitute courage for compassion. The courage to speak the truth is equivalent to compassion. They are two sides of the same coin, and the "heads" side of that coin is courage.'
"Courageous faith itself reflects the life state of Buddhahood."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, (33) To My Dear Friends of the Youth Division-Part1 [of 5], Overcoming Inner Weakness with the Lions Roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, from the January 2018 issue of Daibyaku-renge, translation released Sep. 2018
