-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's guard ourselves against the new influenza.
Especially during our hectic schedules,
let's take every precaution to prevent it.
First and foremost the most important thing is to chant daimoku earnestly to keep ourselves in good health.

"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and disciples chanting in unison."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 748, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 111) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 22nd, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Founding Soka Gakkai president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi
(1871–1944) once said: 'Do we make our lives dwellings of the Buddha which lead us to happiness or do we instead make them abodes of devilish functions which lead us to unhappiness? We have to choose either one or the other. Actively driving devilish functions out and defeating them will lead to happiness and kosen-rufu.'
