-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Nichiren Daishonin promises,
"If one can establish a relationship
with even just one phrase
of the Wonderful Law,
that relationship will continue
that relationship will continue
unbroken over a million kalpas."*
The life-to-life interaction
The life-to-life interaction
that we have with others
is what spreads eternal happiness!
Let's raise the surge
Let's raise the surge
of our beautiful unity of
"Many in body, one in mind."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A passage from 'A Sage Perceives the Three Existences of Life':
"'My disciples, you should believe what I say, and watch what happens. These things do not occur because I myself am respect-worthy, but because the power of the Lotus Sutra is supreme. If I praise myself, people will think that I am boastful, but if I humble myself, they will despise the sutra. The taller the pine trees, the longer the wisteria vine hanging from it. The deeper the source, the longer the stream. How fortunate, how joyful! In this impure land, I alone enjoy happiness and delight. (WND–1, 642).
"The way we live, the way we think and the power of our lives all stem from the teaching we believe in and make our foundation. The teaching we believe in determines our entire life."
