September 20th-26th, 2021
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches us:
"Those who chant 

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo are
(themselves the treasure tower, 

and, likewise, are) themselves the 

Thus Come One Many Treasures."*
All of our pioneer members 

are the ones who have truly proven 

the power of the Mystic Law!
Having great pride in our 

Soka "fathers and mothers,"
let's share this Buddhism 

and its philosophy 

with as many people as we can,

with the conviction to build a society 

where all people can savour
peace and security.

*"In the Latter Day of the Law, no treasure tower exists other than the figures of the men and women who embrace the Lotus Sutra. It follows, therefore, that whether eminent or humble, high or low, those who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo are themselves the treasure tower, and, likewise, are themselves the Thus Come One Many Treasures. No treasure tower exists other than Myoho-renge-kyo. The daimoku of the Lotus Sutra is the treasure tower, and the treasure tower is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

"Teaching another something is the same as oiling the wheels of a cart so that they turn even though it is heavy, or as floating a boat on water so that it moves ahead easily."

"It is how we react when something bad occurs that is important. If we make up our minds to enact a wonderful drama, summon forth the heart of a lion king and take bold action, we can transform great evil into great good."
