-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin states,
"Myō means to revive."*
We practice the Mystic Law
that enables us to overcome
any and all kinds of hardship,
without fail.
Being united with our fellow members
in a spirit of "Many in Body, One in Mind"**,
let's push forwards
with indomitable life force!
*"Myō means to revive, that is, to return to life." p. 149
