―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!

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.

―TO MY FRIENDS―
Read good books, contemplate deeply,
and cultivate wisdom and perspective
to discern the essence of things.
Be a leader for kosen-rufu whose character
and insights shine brightly!
