-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A woman is the sun of their family.
May you spend each and every day,
with unwavering cheerfulness,
challenging everything that comes your way.
I hope that every single one of you, without exception,
becomes a victorious and truly happy person.

"Three things are required--a good teacher, a good believer, and a good teaching--before prayers can be effective and disasters banished from the land."
(How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 880)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Some people tend to take things for granted. They assume that the present situation will continue unchanged, and since nothing bad has happened so far, they don't have to worry about what might happen next, even though in actuality some danger may be growing in their midst. In fact, they even forget to think about possible threats and dangers. They stop paying attention to important telltale signs and become careless.
"Overcoming that mindset is the first step in preventing accidents. Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'A wise person, while dwelling in security, anticipates danger' (WND-1, 621). Astute people will always be prepared for an emergency, even when the situation seems safe."
