-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Our district, where we strive together
to fulfil our vow for kosen-rufu,
is an "oasis" for reviving our lives
is an "oasis" for reviving our lives
and the "power source"
for revitalising our local community.
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Please have an earnest talk."*
By having vibrant discussion meetings,
let's emanate the light of victory!

"If the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."
(On Attaining Buddhahood

"'Though we live in the impure land, our hearts reside in the pure land of Eagle Peak. Merely seeing each other's face would in itself be insignificant. It is the heart that is important.'
– From "The Drum at the Gate of Thunder" (WND–1, 949).
"It is the heart that is important' — this is the ultimate message of Nichiren Buddhism. When our hearts are one with the Daishonin and the Mystic Law amid even the most difficult challenges, we can bring forth limitless hope and create an ever-expanding land of eternally tranquil light, a realm of happiness and peace."
