-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
To those precious members
and their families
who have been so kind
who have been so kind
to offer their homes for our meetings
throughout this year
and all our other
and all our other
treasured fellow members
who have selflessly
dedicated themselves
for the sake of kosen-rufu,
let's all make sure to express
let's all make sure to express
our deepest appreciation and respect!
The Daishonin teaches,
"Human beings never fail to prosper
The Daishonin teaches,
"Human beings never fail to prosper
when they make good causes."*
Let's wrap up this year, proudly
Let's wrap up this year, proudly
and with confidence!
*"Just as flowers open up and bear fruit, just as the moon appears and invariably grows full, just as a lamp becomes brighter when oil is added, and just as plants and trees flourish with rain, so will human beings never fail to prosper when they make good causes."

"The Daishonin's spirit and teachings are focused on realising kosen-rufu. More important than spouting a million words of theory is helping one person to start practising Nichiren Buddhism. What matters is taking the courageous step to actually do that.
