-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"Myō means to revive."*
Faith has the immeasurable power
to break through any deadlock.
By using even our problems
as a spring board for our activities,
let's advance with vibrance
and open up a way to victory!
*Gosho: WND-I, page 149

"Shakyamuni Buddha who attained enlightenment countless kalpas ago, the Lotus Sutra that leads all people to Buddhahood, and we ordinary human beings are in no way different or separate from one another. To chant Myoho-renge-kyo with this realisation is to inherit the ultimate Law of life and death."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life
- WND, Vol. 1, page 216)

"Individuals, families and organisations are all engaged in a struggle, in a battle to succeed. That's why the Daishonin teaches us in his writings to win in both society and Buddhism.
"Winning is the key to happiness, to hope and to advancing kosen-rufu.
"And that is why we, proud Soka Gakkai members who are directly carrying on the Daishonin's spirit, must not be defeated! We must win!
"Because we have always striven in faith with this determination to win without fail, the Soka Gakkai has overcome all obstacles to achieve such incredible success and growth that some have described it as miraculous."
