―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
Daimoku infused with the vow for
kosen-rufu enables us to manifest
immeasurable hope and a powerful life
condition.
As Nichiren Daishonin urges,
“Each of [us] should summon up the
courage of a lion king”(*) and
advance with lionhearted courage.
Let’s celebrate the month of Soka Gakkai’s
founding with a jubilant victory cheer!

Let’s cherish old friends as well as
create new friendships!
Joy is born of such efforts.
