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

February 11th-17th, 2019
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
President Toda used to say,
"Live out your lives boldly!"
Just as my mentor encourages us 
with his lion like roar,
let's take on all challenges 
brimming with courage!
By holding joyful vibrant 
discussion meetings,
let's bring forth the great life force 
of the Buddha from within!
