-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
From the realm of Soka, 
with warm encouragement 
and support,
let's raise new capable people 
and help them to develop 
during this summer!
Setting fresh new goals and targets 
of chanting, studying 
and challenging ourselves,
in order to do our human revolution,
let's inspire each other with 
a cheerful spirit!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds. It is the same with a Buddha and an ordinary being. When deluded, one is called an ordinary being, but when enlightened, one is called a Buddha."

(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we reveal our Buddhahood through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo each day, we bring forth a wellspring of happiness in our lives.

"The practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the key to tapping our infinite potential and the positive workings of life as vast as the universe."

浄土といい穢土というも、土に二つの隔てなし、ただ我らが心の善悪によると見えたり。衆生というも仏というも、またかくのごとし。迷う時は衆生と名づけ、悟る時をば仏と名づけたり。
