-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As early mornings and evenings begin to get chilly,
let's be sure to take good care of our health.
Let us not forget that the precautions we take
in addressing seemingly trifle things,
like wearing an extra layer of clothing,
can go a long way in protecting ourselves from illness!
Now is the time to advance cheerfully and in high spirits
without allowing carelessness to creep into our daily rhythm!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) declared:: 'What a novel my life has been!' The stories of our members challenging themselves in their human revolution, their lives dedicated to the grand adventure of kosen-rufu, would surely draw the applause and admiration of even great figures of history.
"At the same time, however, human revolution is nothing special. It all begins by taking one brave step, from what you can do right now. As the Daishonin points out. 'If a person cannot manage to cross a moat ten feet wide, how can he cross one that is a hundred or two hundred feet?' (WND-1, 766). It doesn't matter how small or insignificant the challenge or obstacle may seem, the important thing is to courageously cross that 'ten-foot-wide moat' in your daily life.
"Having the spirit to challenge yourself further is the essence of faith. No matter how good or bad your present circumstances are, keep moving forwards. The path of human revolution lies in continuously challenging your limitations and making tireless efforts.
