-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"He will (appear in the 
Latter Day of the Law and)
propagate the five characters 
of Myoho-renge-kyo
to all the nations and people 
throughout Jambudvīpa."*
In the place where we are 
proudly standing right now,
with the noble vow we have made,
let's share the light of hope we have
with the friends in front of us!
May you all become "ambassadors" 
of kosen-rufu and peace.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our daily practice of gongyo and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo enables us to bring forth indomitable life force. When we use our eyes, ears, voices and hands to read, hear, recite, and write down passages from the Daishonin's writings, we engrave those words in our hearts and beings. The Daishonin's words become a source of wisdom for our efforts in daily life and society, showing their true worth in the diverse situations and circumstances we encounter. Please be assured that all Buddhas and bodhisattvas will applaud you and all heavenly deities will protect you, people who are earnestly exerting themselves in practice and study."
