-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be extremely careful about preventing any fires from occurring.
Let's be sure to stay absolutely accident free at all times.
And it is also very important that we thoughtfully remind each other about
safety repeatedly.
Through the earnest and serious daimoku of our leaders
let's protect all of our precious members who
have such noble missions for kosen-rufu.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The essence of our faith is manifested in our daily actions. And the
substance of our Buddhist practise lies in enjoying the trust and friendship
of our close neighbours. Our goal is to realise a peaceful and prosperous
society through spreading the philosophy and ideals of Nichiren Daishonin's
Buddhism. It is not something abstract or distant, but starts with concrete
efforts where we are right now."
