To prevail in this turbulent age,
let’s ceaselessly challenge our circumstances
as well as our personal, inner transformation.
Every day, let’s take one step forward without
fear of failure and without hesitation!

―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
Our discussion meeting is an
assembly of Buddhas and a
wellspring of assurance and hope.
Nichiren Daishonin states,
“The seeds of Buddhahood
sprout as a result of conditions.”(*)
Let’s spread courage in our
local communities with conversations
that foster heart-to-heart connections.

Those with a seeking mind
possess unlimited joy.
Those who have joy are able
to win over difficulties with
powerful momentum.
Therein lies the key to growth
and maturity.
