Happy November 18th!!
Message from Sensei:
"We send sincere congratulations on holding your district general meetings where you are sharing your ode to victory and joy.
To our friends, welcome to our meetings!
Please have a most enjoyable and bright gathering of the Soka family.
The district is a bastion of happiness. We are filled with praise and admiration for your vibrant advancement. Thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication.
We practice faith to become happy and to win in life. Buddhism enables one to change everything into a source of happiness and victory. Buddhism expounds the great principle that enhances one’s humanity and dignifies one’s life.
Nichiren Daishonin writes, “If a believer’s offense is slight, overlook it, and lead that person to obtain benefits. If it is serious, encourage him to strengthen his faith so that he can expiate the sin” (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 626). As taught in this passage, any poison can be changed into medicine through the power of the Mystic Law. There are no problems that cannot be solved in light of the Mystic Law. With faith in this great Law, every individual can advance with hope and confidence, without any hesitation.
We are all human. We cannot become anything greater than human beings, but we can shine with humanism just as we are. We can bond deeply, helping and encouraging one another. In this process, your family will prosper and your community will develop. This is the real picture of kosen-rufu that we pursue.
Our beloved comrades in America! Prosper together with us and help others to do the same, advancing along the path of happiness, peace and victory.
You are all so important to us. We will continue to pray earnestly for your good health, happiness and the great fortune of your family. Please take good care of yourselves!"
