-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In this particularly hectic season,
it is very important that we take every precaution against fire.
Let's make absolutely sure to check that all possible sources
of fire such as space heaters, cooking stoves, etc.
are working properly.
Let's chant seriously and earnestly for each other
so that none of us are involved in any kind of accident or incident!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345) Selection source: Soka Gakkai member's experience, Seikyo Shimbun, November 22nd, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The renowned Indonesian author Pramoedya Ananta Toer (1925-2006), wrote: 'An unimaginably powerful force exists in this world, sometimes erupting from the depths of the ocean to form a volcano that explodes, and sometimes residing in the individual who truly understands life's purpose.' This is the description of a person who can initiate revolutionary change.
"No one is stronger than a person who has stood up with genuine conviction in faith for the sake of the people's welfare."
SGI Newsletter No. 7886,Winter Always Turns to Spring, from the Dec. 2009 issue of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translated Nov. 19th, 2009
