-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Using good common sense and wisdom,
let's make every effort to stay in good health.
If it feels a bit chilly,
it might be a sensible idea to put on an extra layer of clothing.
Most importantly,
let's chant determined daimoku to stay healthy
so we can continuously be victorious!

"'Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), in addition to being a social activist and former American first lady, is well known as having played a major role in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In her later years, she wrote: 'It is my conviction that there is almost no arena of life which we cannot transform according to our own desires if we want something badly enough, if we have faith in it, and if we work for it with all our hearts.'...

"We uphold the supreme teaching of the Mystic Law and are pursuing the great path of kosen-rufu. Faith in the Daishonin's Buddhism gives us the power to positively transform even seemingly insurmountable obstacles."
