―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
Nichiren Daishonin states,
“The character ‘myo’ means to open.”(*)
Let’s continue to pray to develop our life
condition; go around encouraging others
to help foster them into capable individuals;
and share Buddhism with others to the best
of our ability to advance kosen-rufu!
(*) “The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra,” WND 1, 145

Nichiren Daishonin reminds us,
“Buddhism is reason.”(*)
Let’s always act with good common
sense and a rich sense of humanity.
Trust built with sincerity is our
greatest treasure.
