-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Busy periods in our lives are precisely the time when we need to be
extra cautious about not lowering our guard or allowing carelessness to get the
better of us.
Let's exercise the utmost care and precaution so that we never ever
create the causes that lead to a fire or any other type of accident or incident.
May our victories in all our endeavours be grounded in such care and wisdom.

"My disciples, form your ranks and follow me, and surpass even Mahakashyapa or
Ananda, T'ien-t'ai or Dengyo!"
(The Actions of the Votary of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol. 1, page 765) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's lecture series: Gosho and
the Mentor-Disciple relationship No. 17, Seikyo Shimbun, June 18th, 2009.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Allow me to share some words by the ancient Roman philosopher Seneca, which express
an insight shared by many of humanity's great thinkers: 'Worse than all [other
crimes] is the crime of ingratitude.' It is exactly so. I can't emphasize this too
much, no matter how often I have to repeat it. Nothing is worse than ingratitude.
People tend to forget their indebtedness to others when success goes to their heads
and they grow arrogant. Never become a person who has no gratitude. Also, don't
become a person who is cowardly or self-serving."

2], Win Through All Challenges, (At the 29th Headquarters Leaders Meeting, held in

International Friendship Hall in Sendagaya, Tokyo, on May 27th, 2009) from the June
1st, 2009, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated June 15th, 2009)
