-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us be extra vigilant during bad weather conditions!
Preparing ourselves fully with prudence and courage,*
let us take all necessary steps and precautions!
Let us also remember to call out to our friends and family too,
making sure that together we are safe and absolutely free of accidents!
* Gosho: "The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra", WND, page 1000, "It is a matter of rejoicing that your usual prudence and courage, as well as your firm faith in the Lotus Sutra, enabled you to survive unharmed."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A fresh force is needed to establish an innovative paradigm for a new age. Nothing is more challenging than fostering the abilities of youth to open an age of the triumph of humanity; sometimes it can seem as impossible as trying to touch a star with a pole. But, that is precisely why I entrust you to undertake this task."
