-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin states,
"The great ocean is shallow 

compared to the profoundness 

of the debt you owe your mother."*
To our mothers and all the mothers 

of the Soka Gakkai,
let's give a big round of applause 

to express our heartfelt appreciation 

and deep respect!
Becoming capable successors 

of kosen-rufu 

is the true way to repay their kindness

and our debt of gratitude.

*"The Four Virtues 

and the Four Debts of Gratitude" 

(WND, Vol.2, page 637)

"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

"Those who uphold the Mystic Law and strive wholeheartedly for kosen-rufu are sure to be successful in their work. No matter how busy you might be, always be earnest in your Buddhist faith and practice. That is the key. In the long run, the difference between those who just go through the motions and those who strive with utter dedication is astounding."
