1937 Jaguar SS100 replica
Mission Viejo, CaliforniaOBO
This Jaguar SS100 replica is mechanically sound with 14550 kilometers on the odometer. Engine is a 4 cyl Ford, matched to a Ford C3 automatic transmission and a Ford rear end drive. The front end and steering components are from a 1965 VW beetle. The wipers don't move, the emergency brake is not connected, the dash mounted gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature are not working but are supplemented with mechanical gauge mounted below the dash and are fully functional. The true wire wheels are power coated with new brakes and new tires all around. There is little rust on the chrome and the paint has small defects, but the replica roadster is as realistic as it can get to the 1937 Jaguar.

I bought this gem in August of 2015 and it's been a great vehicle to have. I've re-upholstered the front seat bottoms and added an LED light bar, the updated audio deck is a JVC CD/DVD with iPod compatability. I upgraded the speakers to Alpine units in the doors. The license-plate frame rear-view camera displays on it as well. I've done regular maintenance with synthetic oil and it burns maybe 1 quart every 1,500 miles. I had the differential fluid replaced last year. There is a brush guard in the front and running boards on the sides. It comes with an additional set of mud & snow tires mounted on Toyota wheels. I bought a set of third row seats which haven't been re-upholstered, but they come with it as well.

1995 Chevrolet Camaro T-Top 95 Chevy Camaro F1 Supercharged LT-1 383 Z-28 F-Body w/ Moser and T-56
Lehi, Utah
1995 Z-28 Camaro This is a one-of-a kind Z-28 Camaro that is sure to turn lots of heads. At roughly 204,000 miles this car was completely rebuilt after the stock engine needed rebuilding. In 2011 the engine was built, transmission rebuilt and the Moser axle installed. All the suspension and braking system was redone as well. Engine, transmission, and rear end all have Royal Purple oil. The engine tuning has been a struggle and this engine would benefit greatly from an LS computer swap. It is currently running a stock computer with a 2 bar map tune. The clear coat is starting to fade in places on the car but the body is fairly straight. There are only a couple small dents. There are some scratches and plenty of rock chips…to be expected on a 22 year old car.. Hasn't been driven much in the past 4 years. New window motor on the driver side. Passenger window is slow (I have a new window motor for it). A lot of money was spent on this car and nothing was spared. The car currently needs some tuning but it runs and drives. The car is plumbed with a NOS bottle (Custom painted to match car) in the back but the new engine has never been sprayed (there are no solenoids and this kit was used with the stock engine). Call or text with serious inquires only. I can provide more pictures. Justin 801-885-5200 Car ran a 11.80 at Rocky Mountain raceway after it was built. I have an extra pair of rims with 275/40/17 Hoosier drag radials that you can have. Tires are no good now.

"Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain."
-Jack Kerouac
There had been clumsy chatter over the course of the past couple of months amongst the group of female cyclists I cavort with about entering our first Audax event, sparked by one of the ladies: Sarah. I didn't go to the trouble of doing any research in order to find out what I'd potentially be letting myself in for, instead allowing myself to be gently coaxed into entering on the coattails of Sarah's enthusiasm. With no established idea of how I was going to get there, or what the sleeping arrangements were, or exactly what the ride entailed, or what the forecast would be like, I blindly made an agreement with myself that I would do it. These are often how great experiences start.
And often, I find it's best to go in blind.
After a whirlwind second week back at work, I haphazardly threw some cycling kit and essentials into a duffel bag after work before Sarah and her partner Iain were at my doorstep, loading my bike onto their rack and jolting me into the present. We were off to a chalet about 12 miles from the start in Newtonmore to annihilate carbs and rest our legs for the following day, keeping company with Ginny and Emma, and planning to meet a fifth female companion, Anne, in the morning. Sarah is a strong rider, and Emma is built like an Olympic road cyclist, and once I'd heard how Ginny had ridden 389 miles in a 24 hour time trial, doubts about my ability to keep up with the group started circling my thoughts like a buzzard. Sarah dismissed these, insisting it was a social event, not a death wish, but there they remained until all thoughts drifted off and sleep took hold.
We were all up with the sunrise, and dressed optimistically in shorts. As it unfolded, the weather was ideal for hours in the saddle, meandering between overcast and patches of sunshine throughout the day with the very real advantage of little wind and no rain. It was even, once we got going, somewhat warm at times. Even the fact that we set off from the cafe in Newtonmore with less than 40 starters in a group maintaining a pace upwards of 20mph didn't ring any alarm bells. At least not any loud, enduring ones. The pace felt comfortable, everyone was friendly and chatty, and the first (relatively flat) 50km were over in a few blinks. Trepidation evaporated, layers were removed, coffee was consumed.
The second 50k also felt relaxed, though there were a handful of climbs which would serve as a warm-up for what was to come. Over a bowl of lentil soup and bread heavy with butter, spirits remained high – though it was at this point we were at our lowest elevation over the course of the ride. Which meant only one thing: we had to go up.
The third 50k section was an uphill slog towards Tomintoul. With respectable miles already in the legs, this is the section where I started to feel weary. Anne and I eased off, and the other three went ahead, telling us we'd regroup at the next feed stop. Approaching my longest ever ride, I was acutely aware of how much distance we still had to cover and didn't want to blow up needlessly. And even though I didn't have a look at the course map before setting off, having been in the area countless times meant that I knew it would be a good idea to save something for the monster of a climb we were going to have to face later in the day, though I kept reminding myself it was a short, sharp sting.
Tomintoul arrived, and the rest of our group were just sitting down to a snack. Anne and I joined the queue and continued to boost the local economy with our calorie requirements, before joining some of the other riders to share stories of cancer, surgery, cycling, and overcoming life's challenges. It was a unique moment during which there were no boundaries as to what was spoken about, and the warm sunlight allowed us to bathe in warmth as we rested up for our final miles. When it was time to return to the saddle, there was a calm resignation about what this final stretch had to offer, and we set off.
The Bridge of Brown was no less of a challenge on weary legs than I was expecting, and the five of us grunted up it at our own pace, regrouping at the top for the largely downhill and flat return to Newtonmore.
It was just before the climb that I registered our total distance, and realised I was now into the unknown, relying on my legs to keep on truckin' all the way to the end. Just after our white-knuckle descent I found my second wind and clung to Ginny's wheel, with Sarah beside me and Anne and Emma started to fall back. We kept out group together, however, and spat out blue language as we were forced to cycle past the entrance to our campsite, 12 miles from the finish.
Though relatively flat, those final miles seemed everlasting, and if there was beautiful scenery to take in, I missed it all. My gaze was firmly fixed on the rear wheel inches in front of me, and only wavered once, at which point I tumbled over some bad potholes at the side of the road and let out a primal howl to allow the others to appreciate the pain that had just been bestowed to my undercarriage after 9 hours in the saddle. I was gifted with sympathetic grunts, and then silence, bar the crescendo of gasps every time we faced a short ascent.
Finally, the cafe appeared as a welcome speck on the horizon, and we all softened as we coasted towards our approaching rest. We were the first women back, and we validated our cards before treating ourselves to a quick drink, loading up the bikes, and heading back to the chalet. After a quick shower (and an even quicker bottle of beer), Anne and I – before the day virtual strangers – began our journey back to Aberdeen with enough energy to fill the homeward journey with stories and laughter. Her offer of a lift home that night was much appreciated, as it gave me the chance to sleep in my own bed before the next adventure was upon me…

The research team, led by Professor John Upham, found that young women make a much stronger immune response to rhinoviruses than young men. These differences disappear after menopause, so they are probably regulated by sex hormones.
Professor Upham said that these findings were crucially important for finding new ways of combating rhinoviruses.
"While these viruses are just a nuisance in healthy people, they can make people with asthma or other chronic lung diseases very unwell," he said.
"In our efforts to find new ways to prevent these infections, we need to take into account the effects of hormones, and how they affect the immune system."
Professor Upham said the researchers were studying how the immune system worked — or didn't work — in people with asthma.
The researchers will further study the effects of hormones on the immune system, with long-term plans for development of a vaccine.
Research team members in the Lung & Allergy Research Centre, UQ School of Medicine, involved in the study included Mrs Melanie Carroll, Dr Stephanie Yerkovich, Dr Antonia Pritchard and Dr Janet Davies.
The research was funded by the Asthma Foundation of Queensland and the National Health and Medical Research Council and was recently published in the journal Respiratory Research.

Growing up observing his father, dancehall artiste New Kidz working diligently on his career along with veterans like Buju Banton, Artikal's understanding and passion for music gradually grew as he then began singing on the George Headley Primary School choir. When not spending time engaging in his hobbies of playing football and playing Fifa video games he would dedicate time to singing and songwriting.
While attending St. George's College Artikal continued to try and find his place as a young musical talent While being the patient and hard working individual he is, the young singjay took some time off to further understand the craft of music and develop his talent while still focusing on school.
It however wasn't until the summer of 2013 when Artikal first really made strides into the music game when he recorded the well talked about track "Clean & Out" on LockeCity Music Group/Trackback Records' riddim "Shella" which featured Beenie Man, Mavado, Ding Dong and Kiprich among other seasoned dancehall acts. He definitely didn't take his foot off the gas as he then released his breakout single "Let It Go", in a collaborated effort with LockeCity Music Group/Trackback Records and TJ Records.
His mixtape, entitled, "Let Me Explain", which was released in late 2014 did wonders for the youngster as lead singles such as "Smile" and "Real Friends" created avenues for a rise to fame.

Selling a house at a good price was initially pretty difficult but now with the advent of some quick house sale companies it is said that your house can be sold at a full market price. Flying homes have come up all over the news with their incredible 94% for clients who look to sell their homes. A series of studies have shown that the returns if this house selling company are pretty high compared to the others that only promise a mere 74% market price for the customers. The UK residential property market has suddenly seen a boom with its newest include i.e. flying homes ltd which also sent out a word for the people stating that they should never settle for as less as 70%.
A market research shows that most of these so called house selling companies treat their customers unfairly or try to cheat them by offering a very less amount. Hence to solve is this problem the flying homes ltd has come up with a revised solution and prices which are already being preferred by many in the UK. Even the news personnel's said that this particular company is operating differently and is leaving its mark on the people forever. Use http://www.nationalcashbuyer.co.uk/ to sell house fast.
The company is also advising many on property deals and gives them a fair price with no last minute deductions at all. However the company director Christian lawlor explained the purpose of the company saying that they wanted the people to have a hassle free experience in the process of selling their homes and through this they are also eliminating the property buyers from the context. Many customers have sense of satisfaction with this company as they deal with registered buyers and investors of the company.

The Buddhism of the Sun Illuminating the World
—Study for November—
Living Buddhism
The Five Eternal Guidelines of the Soka Gakkai PART 2 [ 10]
"Faith for Achieving Happiness"— Creating Lives of Happiness for Ourselves and Others
What is the aim of Nichiren Buddhism?
We were born into this world to be happy. Surely no one wishes to be unhappy. This is why, since ancient times, happiness has been one of the central issues of philosophy. Human happiness is also the original purpose of religion.
After World War II, in a devastated Japan, my mentor, second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda, rose up alone to rebuild the Soka Gakkai, which had been destroyed as a result of wartime government persecution.
In those post-war years, it was all anyone could do just to survive from day to day. People were in a state of spiritual desolation, without any hope or dreams for the future. They faced such trials as food shortages, financial hardships, poverty, illness, family discord, unemployment and punishing workloads. Society was racked by mistrust and turbulence. The scars of the war ran deep, and the younger generation had lost all hope. It was a period of great suffering, misery and misfortune.
The Proactive Attitude of "Achieving Happiness"
These kinds of maladies are still pressing issues for humanity in the 21st century. Poverty, epidemics and war continue to deprive people of their dignity, pride, independence and joy in living, plunging them into dark despair and resignation. Seeing this recurring pattern of people being robbed of their very right to exist, how can we find meaning in life? A truly living religion, a religion concerned with people's welfare, must grapple head-on with this question.
In the extreme confusion of the times, Mr. Toda strove tirelessly to convey the philosophy of happiness of Nichiren Buddhism. No matter what depths of suffering and despair we may be in right now, the power of faith in the Mystic Law enables us to open the way to a life of genuine happiness. This unshakable conviction has provided Soka Gakkai members with great hope for the future and
been the bedrock of their determination to weather and challenge all of life's hardships.
Mr. Toda stressed "faith for achieving happiness." His choice of the word "achieving" embodies a profound philosophy of life. Happiness is not something given to us by others. It is not something we wait for to suddenly appear in our lives, unrelated to our own will and effort. Ultimately, each of us has to achieve happiness for ourselves. Faith in Nichiren Buddhism guarantees that we can do so.
The purpose of our Buddhist practice is to build a state of eternally enduring happiness in our own lives and to help others do the same. In this installment, let us study the second of the five eternal guidelines of the Soka Gakkai—"Faith for achieving happiness."
There is no true happiness other than upholding faith in the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]. This is what is meant by "peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existences" [ The Lotus Sutra and Its Opening
and Closing Sutras, p. 136]. Though worldly troubles may arise, never let them disturb you. No one can avoid problems, not even sages or worthies.
Drink sake only at home with your wife, and chant Nam-myohorenge-kyo. Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nammyoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever. ("Happiness in This World," The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 681) 1
Establishing a State of Absolute Happiness
What kind of happiness do we seek to achieve through faith? Mr. Toda summarized the Buddhist view of happiness into two key points.
The first is that there is a difference between relative happiness and absolute happiness.
Nichiren Buddhism does not reject the relative happiness of a comfortable life or good health. Having a job, good health and improving our standard of living are all important. While making positive efforts to achieve those things, Mr. Toda said we should also challenge ourselves through Buddhist practice to attain a state of absolute happiness that nothing can destroy—a state in which living is itself a joy and our lives are imbued with the four virtues of eternity, happiness, true self and purity. 2
The second aspect of the Buddhist view of happiness that Mr. Toda stressed is that we were born into this world to enjoy life.
The Lotus Sutra teaches that this world is a place "where living beings enjoy themselves at ease" (LSOC, p. 272). 3 But in this saha world4 filled with suffering, we cannot enjoy ourselves if our life force is weak. That's why we need to exert ourselves in Buddhist practice to bring forth our inner Buddhahood and strengthen our life force. With a strong life force, we can calmly and enjoyably ascend the hilly path of life. The countless hardships and challenges we experience will be transformed into something that adds to our joy in life, like a pinch of salt that enhances the flavor of sweets.
Mr. Toda's dearest wish was for everyone to find supreme pleasure in life.
A Life Where We Enjoy Ourselves at Ease
"Happiness in This World" is a letter Nichiren Daishonin wrote to Shijo Kingo and his wife, Nichigen-nyo, at a time when they were undergoing adversity. 5 In it, he taught them how to attain a state of absolute security and peace of mind.
His letter opens with the words "There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" (WND-1, 681). This is the supreme path, he says, to a life in which we can freely enjoy ourselves. Based on this, he declares: "There is no true happiness other than upholding faith in the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]" (WND-1, 681).
A life dedicated to faith in the Mystic Law is in itself the state of Buddhahood, enabling us to enjoy life to our heart's content. We are assured of "peace and security in our present existence and good circumstances in future existences" (see LSOC, 136).
Certainly, the world is filled with an unceasing cacophony of negativity and malice. Even those leading the most admirable lives cannot escape being attacked and criticized. But Nichiren says of such troubles, "Never let them disturb you" (WND-1, 681).
He then continues, "Drink sake only at home with your wife" (WND-1, 681). Shijo Kingo had his wife, Nichigen-nyo, to confide in; and we, in addition to family, also have fellow members, friends in faith, to share our troubles with. There's no need to try to bear them alone and in silence. In addition, the Gohonzon is aware of everything. No matter what anyone else may say, we should just steadfastly live our lives the way we have chosen. Here, the Daishonin is teaching us the importance of chanting Nam-myohorenge-kyo as we strive together with good friends around us, warmly supporting and encouraging one another.
Regard Both "Suffering and Joy as Facts of Life"
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens" (WND-1, 681), writes Nichiren Daishonin. Countless SGI members have engraved this passage in their hearts and fervently chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to overcome their problems. No matter how painful or challenging our situation, if we keep chanting to the Gohonzon with focused prayer, we are certain to break through it.
Such prayer forges an indomitable spirit, kindles limitless hope, brings absolute peace of mind and powers resolute progress. It is a source of unsurpassed happiness and one of the most noble acts we can perform as a human being.
Next, Nichiren mentions the "boundless joy of the Law" (WND-1, 681). 6 Being able to freely enjoy the "boundless joy of the Law" is the life state of Buddhahood.
We can definitely lead happy lives based on unshakable conviction in faith and in accord with the ultimate law of the universe.
A Religion for Transforming Our Lives
In December 1955, the Kansai Headquarters, the first major Soka Gakkai facility in Osaka, opened [in a newly renovated building]. At a meeting held to commemorate that event, Mr. Toda, smiling warmly, called on the members to overcome illness and gain financial fortune, urging them to "persevere in faith and become exemplars of happiness." 7
And in February the following year (1956), at the Nakanoshima Civic Hall, a place of so many memories, he said with humor: "I've never heard of a poor Buddha. I've never heard of a Buddha with tuberculosis. I've never seen a Buddha being chased after by debt collectors." 8 The aim of our Buddhist practice is to become happy. Mr. Toda explained the great benefits of the Mystic Law by saying that the benefits he had personally attained through faith in the Gohonzon were so enormous that they wouldn't fit into the civic hall. 9
Two months later (in April 1956), at a meeting at the Osaka Stadium held in the rain, he declared that he was determined to see to it that not a single sick or poor person remained in Kansai. 10 He put his entire being into encouraging these ordinary members who were struggling to make ends meet, resolved to help free them from the depths of despair and hopelessness.
"By practicing Nichiren Buddhism, we are sure to attain benefits, show actual proof of the power of faith and become happy without fail!"—filled with this conviction, we actively went out to share Nichiren Daishonin's teachings with others. As we did so, some derided the Soka Gakkai as "a gathering of the poor and sick" and arrogantly scorned our Buddhism as a religion that only cared about worldly benefits.
But do we not need benefits in this world? We confidently replied to such charges by saying that an effective religion is one that improves its practitioners' lives and positively transforms the way they live.
Above all, our members felt themselves brimming with zest for life, revitalized on a fundamental level and experienced the joy of actually setting forth on the path to breaking through the chains of destiny. The Kansai members, ordinary men and women rising powerfully into action, knew instinctively that those heaping scorn on them were arrogant and misguided individuals who looked down on others, and were ignorant of the true purpose of religion.
No fact speaks louder than transforming our life circumstances. No proof is more powerful than changing our destiny.
Just as our founding president, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, insightfully observed, Buddhism is a teaching for living. It gives us the strength to navigate the rough waters of life. It is the path leading to supreme happiness.
With a confident laugh, Mr. Toda declared: "What's wrong with being a gathering of the poor and sick? A real religion reaches out to and helps those who are suffering the most, after all! The Soka Gakkai is the greatest ally of the people." This lion's roar of my mentor was a great declaration of human rights, a pledge to eradicate the causes of people's misery and misfortune, including poverty, sickness and conflict.
Let those who have suffered the most enjoy the greatest happiness! Everyone has the right to become happy. Nichiren Buddhism is the foremost ally of those experiencing the deepest suffering.
The Soka Gakkai stands forever on the side of the people. This is proof of its commitment to continuing its struggle against the fundamental evil that lies at the root of all human suffering and misery— the tendency to disrespect and devalue life—and to helping all people become happy.
From a mundane view, I [Nichiren] am the poorest person in Japan, but in the light of Buddhism, I am the wealthiest person in all Jambudvipa [the entire world]. When I consider that this is all because the time is right, I am overwhelmed with joy and cannot restrain my tears. It is impossible to repay my debt of gratitude to Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings. Perhaps even the rewards of the Buddha's twenty-four successors11 are inferior to mine, and even those
of the great teachers such as T'ien-t'ai Chih-che and Dengyo12 cannot approach mine. ("On Establishing the Four Bodhisattvas as the Object of Devotion," WND-1, 977) 13
"The Wealthiest Person in the Entire World"
Nichiren Daishonin's life was threatened on numerous occasions. He was exiled twice, and denounced and reviled by people throughout the land. "From a mundane view," as he put it, he may well have been "the poorest person in Japan" (WND-1, 977). But viewed in the mirror of Buddhism, he was "the wealthiest person in all Jambudvipa" (WND-1, 977)—that is, the wealthiest person in the entire world.
"I am overwhelmed with joy and cannot restrain my tears" (WND-1, 977), he continues, describing the reality of his indestructible happiness, impervious to the devilish workings of the most powerful authorities. 14
As SGI members striving to realize kosen-rufu, the mission entrusted to us by Nichiren Daishonin, we are forging a state of unshakable happiness through our daily activities. In other words, we are accumulating the most valuable of treasures, the "treasures of the heart."
He writes, "More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all" ("The Three Kinds of Treasure," WND-1, 851). Those who accumulate these "treasures of the heart" in their lives through faith dedicated to kosen-rufu are truly the wealthiest, supremely happy people.
Mr. Toda remained a spiritual champion, even while imprisoned for his beliefs during World War II, continuing his unsparing struggle to defend the correct teaching of Buddhism. Based on his profound conviction that he was truly "wealthy," he assured his family that they were as well. In a letter he wrote to them from prison, he said: "No matter how hard life is and how poor you are, please always be confident that you are 'wealthy people.' For I, too, am living [with all my might here in prison]."
As the disciple of this great mentor, completely united with him in spirit, I have forged ahead through every storm of adversity in my struggle for kosen-rufu. I have dedicated my life to the Mystic
Law, to my mentor and to our members. I have been fully prepared to encounter great difficulties. Overcoming every obstacle, regarding each trial as an honor, I opened the way for worldwide kosen-rufu together with our noble pioneer members.
Now is the time for my fellow members of the men's and women's divisions and my successors in the youth division to advance triumphantly along this great and honored path with the conviction that you are the happiest people in the world.
"Joy" [in the phrase "responding with joy"] means that oneself and others together experience joy . . . Then both oneself and others together will take joy in their possession of wisdom and compassion.
Now, when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-rengekyo, they are expressing joy in the fact that they will inevitably become Buddhas eternally endowed with the three bodies. ( The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 146)
"Oneself and Others Together Experience Joy"
In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren Daishonin discusses the phrase "responding with joy" that appears in ["The Benefits of Responding with Joy," the 18th chapter of] the Lotus Sutra, saying: "'Joy' means that oneself and others together experience joy" (OTT, 146). This shared joy, experienced by both oneself and others, is true joy and happiness, he asserts.
Happiness is something that we must each achieve for ourselves and experience in our own lives. But at the same time, one's own happiness to the exclusion of others is not true happiness. Just being content with one's own welfare with no concern for others is selfish. By the same token, brushing aside one's own happiness and caring only about the happiness of others is not sufficient either. True happiness is a condition where both ourselves and others are happy.
The French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–78) also identified the essence of happiness as existing in the expansive spirit of shared happiness. He wrote: "Remove exclusiveness from the pleasures. The more you leave them to [people] in common, the more you will always taste them pure." 15 Happiness only exists when it is shared.
When something good happens, we want to share it with others—our family, friends, fellow members, our mentor. Happiness expands and grows within this web of relationships where we share our joys and sorrows.
Wishing for the Happiness of All
Nichiren Daishonin writes, "If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?" ("On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land," WND-1, 24). These well-known words express the fundamental spirit with which we should pray in order to realize a truly peaceful and prosperous society.
During World War II, Mr. Makiguchi rejected the notion of self-sacrifice for the sake of the country that the Japanese wartime militaristic authorities encouraged in their nationalist propaganda: "Self-negation is a lie. What is right is to seek happiness for both oneself and everyone else." 16
Mr. Toda asserted: "Becoming happy yourself is no great challenge; it's quite simple. But the essence of Nichiren Buddhism lies in helping others become happy, too." 17
We cannot steal happiness from someone or attain it by sacrificing others for our own gain. It is something that must be shared—which is why I have always insisted that our happiness must not be built upon the misfortune of others.
Next in The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren says, "Then both oneself and others together will take joy in their possession of wisdom and compassion" (p. 146). "Wisdom and compassion" refer to the life state of Buddhahood itself. Whatever difficulty we encounter, we remain undefeated, and the wisdom to overcome it and the compassion to help others well forth from within us.
He continues, "Now, when Nichiren and his
followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they are expressing joy in the fact that they will inevitably become Buddhas eternally endowed with the three bodies" (OTT, 146).
The "three bodies" are the Buddha's three bodies—the Dharma body, the reward body and the manifested body. Both ourselves and others are originally supremely respectworthy Buddhas, embodiments of the Mystic Law. This describes the Dharma body. The wisdom to create happiness for ourselves and others based on that profound awareness corresponds to the reward body. And practical, compassionate action for the happiness of ourselves and others corresponds to the manifested body. This passage tells us that when we chant Nammyoho-renge-kyo, we ordinary, unenlightened beings, just as we are, become Buddhas possessing these wondrous three bodies.
The Joy of Expanding Our Lives
In another part of The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren Daishonin speaks of the "great joy that one experiences when one understands for the first time that one's mind from the very beginning has been the Buddha. Nam-myohorenge-kyo is the greatest of all joys" (pp. 211–12).
Moreover, realizing that one's mind, one's life, has from the very beginning been the Buddha leads to the recognition that this is true not only of oneself, but also equally of others. We and others alike are Buddhas—a realization that is certain to cause a feeling of absolute joy to rise up within us. When we attain this life state of rejoicing at our own welfare and that of others, unsurpassed happiness enduring for all eternity will shine brilliantly in our hearts.
There is no greater joy or happiness than realizing that we are "Buddhas eternally endowed with the three bodies" (OTT, 146), just as we are. This is itself the life state of Buddhahood. It is the state of savoring the "boundless joy of the Law" that enables us to fully and freely experience the benefits of the Mystic Law, a state of absolute happiness.
Spreading Waves of Joy Around the World
What kind of age do we want to make the 21st century? In response to that question, the eminent economist John Kenneth Galbraith (1908–2006) unhesitatingly replied that we need to make it an age in which people can truly enjoy living in this world, confident that they can better themselves and lead happy, fulfilling lives; and an age where we put an end to killing. Having lived through the turbulent times of the 20th century, he had given long and deep thought to the future of humanity. I felt that his vision echoed Mr. Toda's fervent wish to rid the world of all misery and suffering.
The Soka Gakkai is an organization dedicated to value creation. The essence of happiness for both ourselves and others lies in creating the values of beauty, benefit and good. 18 As the expression of our
personal triumph in faith, let us each bring flowers of happiness to bloom in all their rich variety and cultivate an ever-widening, joy-filled garden of happiness, victory and peace in our communities, societies and the world.
Nichiren Daishonin writes that hearing someone rejoice can cause another to rejoice in turn (see "The Recitation of the 'Expedient Means' and 'Life Span' Chapters," WND-1, 68). We are now in the new era of worldwide kosen-rufu, when waves of joy arising from "faith for achieving happiness" are transcending borders and ethnic and linguistic differences to spread all across the globe. We are striving to open an age of the victory of the people, when all humanity together can achieve happiness.
Happiness accumulates through our steady efforts each day. And the foundation of our lives, which are directed toward realizing happiness, is our unsurpassed daily practice of chanting Nammyoho-renge-kyo.
I am praying earnestly today and will keep on doing so—praying for you to lead long, healthy lives; to realize all your desires, and enjoy peace and security in your present existence; to achieve your mission in this life and enjoy good circumstances in future existences; to become happy without exception; and to adorn your lives with brilliant victory.
Translated from the February 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal.
1. "Happiness in This World" is a letter, dated June 27, 1276, that Nichiren Daishonin sent to Shijo Kingo, who was facing harsh persecution at the time.
2. Eternity, happiness, true self and purity are known as the four virtues. Describing the noble qualities of the Buddha's life, the four are explained as follows: "eternity" means unchanging and eternal; "happiness" means tranquility that transcends all suffering; "true self" means true and intrinsic nature; and "purity" means free of illusion or mistaken conduct.
3. The phrase "where living beings enjoy themselves at ease" appears in "Life Span," the 16th chapter of the Lotus Sutra. It expresses the truth that this saha world of suffering is actually the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light, where all living beings experience the greatest enjoyment.
4. Saha world: This world, which is full of suffering. Often translated as the world of endurance. In Sanskrit, saha means the earth; it derives from a root meaning "to bear" or "to endure." For this reason, in the Chinese versions of Buddhist scriptures, saha is rendered as "endurance." In this context, the saha world indicates a world in which people must endure suffering.
5. In 1274, after Nichiren Daishonin took up residence on Mount Minobu, Shijo Kingo attempted to introduce the Daishonin's teachings to his feudal lord, Ema. When Ema reacted with displeasure, Shijo Kingo's envious colleagues took advantage of the situation to slander him to his lord. This led to a period of great adversity, which he described with the words, "great hardships have showered down on me like rain" ("The Difficulty of Sustaining Faith," WND-1, 471).
6. Boundless joy of the Law: The supreme and ultimate happiness of the Buddha, the benefit of the Mystic Law.
7. Translated from Japanese. Josei Toda, Toda Josei zenshu (Collected Writings of Josei Toda), (Tokyo: Seikyo Shimbunsha, 1984), vol. 4, p. 400.
8. Ibid., p. 417.
9. Ibid., p. 418.
10. Ibid., p. 435.
11. Twenty-four successors: Those who, after Shakyamuni Buddha's death, successively inherited the lineage of his teachings and propagated them in India.
12. T'ien-t'ai (538–97), also known as Chih-i and commonly referred to as the Great Teacher T'ien-t'ai or the Great Teacher Chih-che (Chih-che meaning "person of wisdom.") He spread the Lotus Sutra in China and established the doctrine of "three thousand realms in a single moment of life." His lectures were compiled in such works as The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra, The Words and Phrases of the Lotus Sutra and Great Concentration and Insight. Dengyo (767–822), also known as Saicho, was the founder of the Tendai (T'ien-t'ai) school in Japan. He traveled to China where he mastered T'ien-t'ai's teachings.
13. "On Establishing the Four Bodhisattvas as the Object of Devotion" was composed on May 17, 1279, and addressed to Toki Jonin, who lived in Wakamiya, Katsushika District of Shimosa Province (present-day Chiba Prefecture).
14. In other writings, Nichiren states: "With this body of mine, I have fulfilled the prophecies of the [Lotus Sutra]. The more the government authorities rage against me, the greater is my joy" ("The Opening of the Eyes," WND-1, 243); "It is indeed a matter of joy that my situation perfectly fits the sutra passage that reads, 'Again and again we will be banished.' How delightful! How gratifying!" ("The Joy of Fulfilling the Sutra Teachings," WND-2, 463); and "I feel immeasurable delight even though I am now an exile [on Sado Island]" ("The True Aspect of All Phenomena," WND-1, 386).
15. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, or On Education, translated by Allan Bloom (London: Penguin Books, 1991), p. 353.
16. Translated from Japanese. Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, Makiguchi Tsunesaburo zenshu (Collected Writings of Tsunesaburo Makiguchi) (Tokyo: Daisanbunmei-sha, 1987), vol. 10, p. 8.
17. Translated from Japanese. Josei Toda, Toda Josei zenshu (Collected Writings of Josei Toda), (Tokyo: Seikyo Shimbunsha, 1984), vol. 4, p. 378.
18. Drawing inspiration from the Kantian value system of "truth, good and beauty," first Soka Gakkai President Tsunesaburo Makiguchi postulated his own theory of value based on the principles of "beauty, benefit and good." He defined the value of beauty as that which brings aesthetic fulfillment to the individual.

Brachers shortlisted in prestigious national awards
Brachers has made the final shortlist in two categories of the MPF Management Excellence Awards, with the winners due to be announced in March.
The firm has been shortlisted for Best corporate culture and Best collaborationacross the management team at the 2017 Managing Partners' Forum (MPF) Management Excellence Awards in conjunction with Harvard Business Review and The Financial Times - the only competition that highlights management's contribution to strategy and leadership, the client journey, operational excellence and responsible business.
The MPF is an organisation dedicated to helping professional firms grow by providing insights to improve performance. Its Management Excellence awards have become well-established and receives entries from firms across the UK.
In the Best corporate culture category, Brachers' entry centred on the firm's 'With You All The Way' campaign which focused servicing clients' needs better and listening to client feedback to achieve better client satisfaction scores and retention. Their new internal behavioural competency framework was also acknowledged, promoting staff behaviours more tightly aligned to business strategy.
In the Best collaboration across the management team category, Brachers' entry highlighted the firm's new internal structures and how they deliver an improved alignment of the business plan to best serve the needs of clients rather than thinking in practice area silos. The result has been to promote better teamwork across the firm, which has also improved staff engagement.
Joanna Worby, Managing Partner, said:
"We are delighted to have been shortlisted for these highly coveted awards. We are always looking for ways to improve everything we do at Brachers and to put clients' needs at the heart, so it's very encouraging to see our efforts recognised."
News of the firm's shortlisting comes in the wake of successful rankings for Brachers in the legal industry's two leading independent directories - Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500. The firm received 26 rankings across the two directories, with over half falling into the top and second tiers.

The suspected leader of a robbery gang, Chief Jude Dike, has been arrested by the police and paraded along with six other suspected members of his gang in Lagos, western Nigeria.
The 55-year old Dike, who resides in Ajegunle area of the state, was paraded along with his gang after men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, arrested them.
The police alleged that Dike sponsors robbers by providing arms for them for operation and he sells the proceeds from the robbery operations to businessmen.
Those arrested along with Dike are Joel Eghon, 38, Ifeanyi Onwuegbuchi, 34, Solomon Igwe, 32, Emmanuel Ifeanyi, 34, Ejike Emegwo, 31, and Leonard Afoaku, 39.
Dike confessed that he actually arms robbers for robbery operation and thereafter contacts his agent to buy the stolen goods.
He also confessed that he joined the business by accident and because it is lucrative, he stayed put until he was arrested.
While parading them on Tuesday, the State Commissioner of Police, Cornelius Aderanti, said on 20 September information got to him that some armed robbers who had earlier snatched a Toyota Hiace bus around Ebute Metta were planning another operation.
On his instruction, SARS led a decoy team to the area which led to the arrest of the suspects and recovery of the Toyota containing engines female bags, shoes and motor gear.
Also, a Barretta pistol with serial number P17531 and ammunition were recovered from the suspects.
After the alleged goods receiver, Leonard Afoaku, a businessman, was arrested, some goods were recovered from him.

Sonicare FlexCare+
Sonicare FlexCare+ Power Toothbrush
The Sonicare FlexCare+ offers new features designed to encourage longer and more thorough brushing.
New from Philips, the Sonicare FlexCare+ is designed to motivate patients to brush correctly and for the appropriate duration. A new Gum Care mode optimizes gum health by prompting brushing for a full 3-minute cycle in areas requiring more attention, while the Quadpacer encourages thorough brushing of each quadrant. Ease of use is enhanced by the ergonomically designed handle, the easy-to-read display panel, and the brush head sanitizer with UV cleaning technology.
