Posted by sgict in : Men's Division , add a commentAs part of studying the New Human Revolution this year, we are going to use material from the first 12 volumes moving from volume 01 to 12 throughout each month. This is an opportunity to learn from our mentor. What kinds of things can we learn?
• How to approach challenges on a personal level and win, taking steps forward that apply to everything in our life.
• How to encourage others.
• Understanding and learning to apply the practice of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism to everyday life.
• The foundations and vision of the SGI.
• The joy and satisfaction of taking on a challenge for the sake of our fellow MD members in CT.
Please contact me if you wish to take part in this.
