-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches,
"Words echo the thoughts 
of the mind
and find expression 
through the voice."*
Let's encourage and praise 
all the dedicated efforts
of each and every one
with warm, thoughtful and 
heartfelt words,
showing them the same respect 
we would a buddha!**

*"The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld" (WND, Vol.2, page 843)
**"... if you see a person who accepts and upholds this sutra, you should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a buddha." 
(Encouragements of the 
Bodhisattva Universal Worthy
chapter, The Lotus Sutra)
