A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Newspaper based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Our joyful harmonious 

 discussion meetings 

 act as a lighthouse for 

  both our lives and society.
The Daishonin encourages us,
 "The more one praises the blessings 

   of the Lotus Sutra,
     the more one's own blessings 

       will increase."*
By cheerfully praising 

 each other's efforts and struggles,
  let it be a new starting point 

   for hope and courage!

*Gosho: WND-1, page 673
