-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As we get busily preoccupied with the hectic year-end preparations,
let's be careful not to forget what needs to be locked (doors, windows, etc.)
and to check all possible fire hazards (especially before going out or going to bed).
In fact, let's verbally check everything off!
Purse-snatching incidents are also on the rise, so again let's take every precaution we can.
Let's engrave in our hearts that 'carelessness is our greatest enemy'!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'You will grow younger, and your good fortune will accumulate' (WND-1, 464). Though we may advance in years, we mustn't grow old in our hearts. We who embrace the great law of life, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, can grow younger and more vibrant each day. We can forge ahead with a sense of joy and enthusiasm.
"Until the very last day of his life, the Daishonin dedicated himself to the great struggle for kosen-rufu. There is no retirement age in faith. We mustn't let our faith or passion wane. Let's pledge together to keep advancing with youthful vitality throughout our lives, holding high the banner of our mission."
