-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
By refreshingly
performing Gongyo
along with vigorous daimoku
each and every day,
let's make the sun that has been
within us from time
without beginning
rise in our lives!
The Daishonin states:
"When the skies are clear,
the ground is illuminated."*
Let's illuminate our everyday life
and society
with the light of the sun.

"We, too, are the eggs of ignorance, which are pitiful things, but when nurtured by the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is like the warmth of the mother bird, we develop the beak of the thirty-two features and the feathers of the eighty characteristics and are free to soar into the sky of the true aspect of all phenomena and the reality of all things."
("Letter to Niike", WND-l page 1030)

"Mr. Toda often used to say: 'In life, hope is crucial. As long as you have hope, you can move forwards. You can take on any challenge. You can make it through.' I also recall him saying: "Those who can live out their lives with a youthful spirit, a youthful life condition, are truly admirable.'"
