-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Hooray for our many 
  treasured mothers and fathers,
  our noble SGI pioneers!
The Daishonin encourages us,
  "You will grow younger, and your 
    good fortune will accumulate."*
By embracing and spreading 
  the Mystic Law,
  let's live triumphant lives, to the full!
Let's strive together with the SGI, 
  to build a society where all senior citizens 
  can live happily!

  of the Law and Eradicating Sins

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Words and writing...are the medium through which [the] inseparable factors of the mental and physical make up of all living beings are revealed."

-From "Questions and Answers on the Various Schools.' (WND–2, 18).

"Through the written word, people can find precious value that benefits them, both mentally and physically. Writing that helps lead people to happiness and embodies the very life of the Buddha.

"…Together let's continue to share 'words and writing' that impart wisdom and hope for overcoming the difficult challenges of life and society with friends near and far!"
