Connecticut Region General Meeting — Cherishing Each Precious Individual!

Date, Time: Friday, 16 April 2010, 7:00—8:30 PM

Venue: High Plains Community Center
525 Orange Center Road, Orange, Connecticut 06477

All members are invited to this wonderful gathering! Let’s deepen our understanding of Nichiren Buddhism and the spirit of offerings as we advance toward a state of undisputable victory deep in our lives. Our keynote speaker will be Matilda Buck, the SGI North America Women’s Vice Leader. In a recent article in the World Tribune of 2 April 2010, she writes that “taking action to express appreciation and gratitude is the cornerstone of Nichiren Buddhism.” This will be one of the key themes of her presentation.

“It is said that when the roots are deep the leaves won’t wither and that when there is a gem in a fountain its water won’t dry up. It seems to me that your faith, likewise, is deeply rooted and courageous and that you have a gem I your heart.”
Nichiren Daishonin, “Reply to Lady Nun Kubo”
