-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When the seasons begin to change,
let's be careful about the frequent changes in temperature.
Maintaining a good rhythm in our daily lives,
let's make our being in good health our top priority
so that we can all continue to carry out our unique and noble roles.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Whatever trouble occurs, regard it as no more than a dream, and think only of the Lotus Sutra."
(Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 502)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Each of our "Many Treasures" group members,
our SGI's pioneers and seniors in faith,
are endowed with the great wealth of the treasures of the heart.
Let us always make sure to tell each and every one of them
how so much we appreciate what they have done for us
and let's never forget to treat them with respect!
With a youthful spirit, together with them,
let's all advance along the golden path of
'eternity, happiness, true self, and purity'.*
*four virtues - Four noble qualities of a Buddha's life - eternity, happiness, true self, and purity. These describe the true nature of a Buddha's life, which is pure and eternal, and which manifests the true self and enjoys absolute happiness. Because ordinary people possess the Buddha nature, they too can develop the four virtues
when they attain Buddhahood by fulfilling the Buddha's teachings.
