Is your attitude one of being
told to do something, or one
of personal determination to
initiate action?
The subtle difference in your inner
resolve will greatly affect the
results you achieve.
Let’s joyfully and courageously
advance along the path of
our mission!

It is because our days our so hectic
that we should make daily goals
and ground ourselves in the basics

step forward toward transforming our
places of work and our communities.

–WORDS OF THE WEEK–
[As a Japanese proverb goes,]
“One is the mother of ten thousand.”
One person’s precious experience
will spread joy and hope.
At our discussion meetings celebrating
the month of Soka Gakkai’s founding,
let’s create a groundswell of happiness,
helping people make a connection to
Nichiren Buddhism!

Beware of sudden changes in temperature.
Carefully observe preventative measures
on a daily basis against catching cold,
such as by wearing warm, protective
clothing, washing your hands frequently
and gargling [after returning indoors].
Good health is the force for dynamic advance!
