Based on our Buddhist practice, we
can transform everything through
our powerful, inner resolve.
Rather than lamenting over our surroundings
and environment, let’s grow and develop more
than anyone else and shine as an example
for others.

Joy and powerful momentum are
created where flowers of smiles bloom.
Let’s brim with vibrant life force to
cultivate and spread “flower gardens
of happiness” in our homes, at our
workplace and in our communities!

―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
Nichiren Daishonin asserts,
“If [the true aspect of reality] encounters
good influences, it will manifest enlightenment.”(*)
Through our discussion meetings that shine with
the joy and happiness of good influences, we are
able to manifest wisdom for achieving resounding
victory in life and brim with the courage to
share the humanistic philosophy of Buddhism
with others for the sake of creating a peaceful
and flourishing society.
Let’s powerfully strengthen and spread the
connections we have created as a “family”
in our district.
