―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
Nichiren Daishonin affirms,
“I . . . have occasion to meet with
a great many persons.”(*)
With the same spirit as Nichiren Daishonin,
let’s engage in dialogue cheerfully,
joyfully and with confidence and pride!
When we meet and talk to people, we can
experience joy together.
Now is the time to create a people’s solidarity
of peace.

The first step is crucial.
Once we begin taking action,
we can tap into our wisdom and
discover new paths.
So let’s gather our courage and
take the leap, telling ourselves,
“Okay, let’s give it a try!”

Let’s express our heartfelt appreciation
to those providing their homes and
facilities for meetings!
Let’s strictly adhere to the ending time
and refrain from talking loudly in
the vicinity, such as where we parked
our car or bicycle.
Let’s also remember to be considerate
of the neighbors.
