-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"One day of life" is more valuable
than all the treasures of the
entire universe.*
What determines
entire universe.*
What determines
whether we are victorious or not
is how we do morning gongyo.
Today, too, by chanting daimoku
Today, too, by chanting daimoku
with the roar like spirit of a lion king,
let's have a fulfilling day
let's have a fulfilling day
and accumulate all
"the treasures of the heart"
we can.
*Gosho: "One day of life is more valuable than all the treasures of the major world system, so first you must muster sincere faith." -
WND-I, page 955
