-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Today also, let's advance together 
making good use of 
Seikyo Newspaper 
and all our other SGI publications!
The Daishonin teaches,
"It is through the use of words 
and letters that the Buddha 
saves living beings."*
Spreading the encouraging words 
(found in our publications)
to as many people as we can,
let's fill our journals with dramas 
of our human revolution!**

*WND, Vol. 2, page 6
**"Hence the storehouse of the eighty-four thousand teachings represents a day-to-day record of one's own existence." 
- WND, Vol. 2,
page 843

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A single character of the Lotus Sutra is like the great earth, which gives rise to all things. A single character is like the great ocean, which contains the water from all rivers. A single character is like the sun and moon, which illuminate all four continents. This single character changes and [becomes the moon. The moon changes and] becomes a Buddha."

(Reply to Ōnichi-nyo 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1089)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin states: 'Winter always turns to spring' (WND–1, 536). All of the daimoku you chant and the tenacious efforts you make become seeds of hope. Those seeds will produce wonderful flowers of victory without fail.

"By making efforts yourself, you will come to understand the struggles of others. I hope you and your friends will praise each other's efforts."

Towards 2030 - To Our Bright Beacons of Hope, [9] The Seeds of Effort Become the Flowers of Victory. From the issue of  Hope News, 1st December 2020, translation released February 2021
