-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
For the sake of the Mystic Law, 

the people and the world,

we have devoted ourselves 

to the fullest throughout this year.
It's most certain that the Daishonin 

has witnessed everything,

and he states:

"Fortune comes from one's heart 

and makes one worthy of respect."*
Let's launch into the decisive year 

of happiness and triumphant victory!

*"New Year's Gosho" 

(WND, Vol.1, page 1137)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A person's greatness is determined by whether they are focused on benefiting themselves or benefiting others. This also determines whether one's faith is genuine or not?

"I hope you will take action based on sincere prayer for the sake of the Law and the happiness of your friends and fellow members and achieve a dynamic inner transformation—a great human revolution—moving from a focus on self to a focus on others."

10th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Moving from a Focus on Self to a Focus on Others, Sep. 6th, 2022 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2022.
