―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
Nichiren Daishonin urges:
“Strengthen your faith day
by day and month after month.”(*)
It’s time to make a fresh start toward
our human revolution, together with
our organizational newspaper.
Brimming with vibrant enthusiasm,
let’s help expand people’s connections
to Buddhism and achieve a resounding
victory for ourselves and for our district!
