-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"By associating with a friend 
in the orchid room,"* 
our lives flourish 
with rich fragrance.
Chanting daimoku for 
our friend's happiness, 
let's go see them 
in high spirits.
By listening carefully 
to what they have to say, 
let's learn from each other.
Let's create an encouraging 
fragrant breeze around us!

*"How gratifying! You have associated with a friend in the orchid room and have become as straight as mugwort growing among hemp." 
- "On Establishing 
the Correct Teaching for the 
Peace of the Land" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 23)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In our society where so many suffer the cold and desolation of loneliness, let us follow the lead of our united women's and young women's division members in reaching out to others in dialogue with courage that is synonymous with compassion, based on compassionate prayer as the wellspring of wisdom. By doing so, let's expand across the globe the Soka family's bright and hope-filled realm that exemplifies a culture of peace."
