-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches,
"The best way to attain Buddhahood 
  is to encounter a good friend.*
Together with our "good friends" 
at our joyful discussion meeting,
let's advance along the path 
to attaining Buddhahood 
  in this life time!
Let's expand our network 
  of human harmony!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
