-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's listen carefully to 
what women have to say
and respect their opinions.
This is the key to 
success and prosperity.
Let's build our local community into one
which is a model to others
where every single person truly shines!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, writes: 'Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat' (WND –1, 835) -- in other words, he stresses the importance of winning. In the same writing, he also declares: 'Buddhism is reason. Reason will win over your lord' (WND –1, 839).

"These teachings are the very essence of Nichiren Buddhism, which the first three Soka Gakkai presidents inherited from the Daishonin and resolutely demonstrated while battling the three obstacles and for devils and the three powerful enemies."

40th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Message January 12th 2019, Showing Proof of the Victory of Buddhism, Seikyo Shinbun January 13th, 2019, Translation released February 2019.
