-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches,
"The situation is like the joints
in a piece of bamboo:
if one joint is ruptured,
if one joint is ruptured,
then all the joints will split."*
Just one courageous action
Just one courageous action
can shatter the wall of
all obstacles that hinder
the progress of both
our own lives and kosen-rufu.
Come, let's challenge ourselves
Come, let's challenge ourselves
by unleashing the strength of
"the lion's ferocity"!**
*WND-1, page 512
**"This is what the sutra means by 'the power [of the Buddhas] that has the lion's ferocity.'"

"... Let's strengthen our vow to realise the Daishonin's ideal of establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land as we continue advancing together like a waterfall – fierce, unflagging, unfearing, merrily and proudly."*
2nd Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, Embodying Unity in Diversity based on the "Great Wisdom of Equality," March 1st, 2021 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released May 2021
* Ikeda Sensei's call here echoes the lines from his poem "The Waterfall": "Like the waterfall, fierce,/ like the waterfall, unflagging,/ like the waterfall, unfearing,/ like the waterfall, merrily,/ like the waterfall, proudly–/ a man should have the bearing of a king."
