-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be extremely careful not to cause any fire related accidents.
Overloading plug-points is dangerous.
Let's be especially carefully about keeping the areas around our culture centres neat and tidy so as to avoid any inadvertent mishaps.
Using our collective wisdom, let us constantly remind each other
to steer clear of any sparks of carelessness!

--- 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)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who foster capable people are truly capable themselves. The warm light of the sun is a source of life and growth. The sun is a symbol of hope, courage, and compassion...."

"I know how busy you are and how things might not always go as smoothly as you would like. But the sun always rises serenely and unperturbedly, no matter what happens. In the same way, please continue on the path of your mission with firm resolve and purpose.

"The Daishonin writes: 'The Lotus Sutra is [like] the sun' (cf. WND-1, 315). May you always strive to bring a bright, invincible, ever-victorious sun to rise in your heart."
