-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The key to building a foundation
of safety and security in the area
we live in
is to make a habit of
reaching out and looking out for
each other!
Even just a word or two is enough.
Let's create a network of safety
by consistently greeting and talking
with the neighbours!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The body is the palace of the ninth consciousness
(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - WND-1, page 832)

"Our Many Treasures Group women's division members, in particular, have been praying earnestly for everyone's happiness, contributing to their communities and fostering the next generation. They are treasure towers, transforming the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness and death into a state of life pervaded with the fragrance of eternity, happiness, true self and purity.
"Let's show them our deepest respect and applaud their precious contributions as wonderful Bodhisattvas of the Earth who embody the words of the Lotus Sutra: 'Our wish is that... we may use our long lives to save living beings' (LSOC 17, 280)."
Our Brilliant Human Revolution, A "Struggle of Words" Dedicated to Creating a More Peaceful World. April 26th, 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019.
