―WORDS OF THE WEEK―

Nichiren Daishonin affirms,

 “The great ocean is shallow compared to

  the profoundness of the debt you owe 

  your mother.”(*)

Let’s express our appreciation and 

  give a rousing cheer to show our

  and the women of Soka!

Becoming successors of kosen-rufu

  is the way to truly repay our debt 

  of gratitude.
