--WORDS OF THE WEEK--
Our great struggles for kosen-rufu
  are opportunities to transform 
  our [negative] karma.
Buoyed by the momentum of 
  uplifting daimoku,
  let's charge ahead and 
  create a personal history!

--TO MY FRIENDS--
Brimming with life force, let's
  hearten and inspire others.
Let's wholeheartedly encourage our 
 fellow members so they can
 rise up and advance.

Translations of  "Words of the Week" and "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun, based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, with universal value and application.
