-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always be careful about all possible sources of fires.
Especially before going out, make even more sure
by checking out aloud that things are as they should be.
Also, let's make sure to regularly maintain all the heaters that we use, and, every once in a while, make sure to ventilate the rooms when using them.
Never be overconfident or careless about things.
Each and every day, let's make absolutely every effort
to prevent any type of accident or incident from occurring.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The third volume of the Lotus Sutra states, 'Although the devil and the devil's people will be there, they will all protect the Law of the Buddha.'"

(Letter to the Lay Priest Domyo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 750)
Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's speech, Seikyo Shimbun, Jan. 23rd, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"On the occasion of the SGI's founding in Guam 35 years ago (on January 26th, 1975), I declared: 'I hope that you will dedicate your whole lives to sowing the seeds of the Mystic Law for the sake of peace throughout the entire world. I shall do the same.' Our Soka movement has triumphed because we have striven unceasingly with this commitment. This is the formula for our continued victory into the eternal future.

"Let us rejoice at
ever-victorious Soka
and raise our voices again this year
in a rousing
and joyous cheer!"

SGI Newsletter No. 7915, Creating a Precious Record of Our Life in This World, from the February 2010 issue of Daibyakurenge, translated Jan. 19th, 2010
