-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be absolutely sure to follow the rules of the road!
Especially when driving in the evening and late at night,
be extra vigilant, extra careful.
Make sure to always turn your lights on on your bicycle.
No matter what, do everything you must and can do
to be safe and accident-free.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When water is clear, the moon is reflected. When the wind blows, the
trees shake. Our minds are like the water. Faith that is weak is like
muddy water, while faith that is brave is like clear water."

(Reply to the Lay Nun Nichigon - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 1079)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The first step is to ignite the flame of hope in one's own community. That flame will eventually spread throughout the country and the world. As the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) said, 'Reform ought to begin at home.'[1]"
