--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
Let's pay particular attention in times of typhoons or heavy rain
to sudden flooding, landslides and tidal waves.
To all of those precious members who deliver Seikyo Shimbun
and SGI publications,
make absolutely sure that your safety is your top priority!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 283) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 3rd, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Simple as it may sound, in concrete terms, establishing a firm personal foundation starts with your own health. As an individual and a member of society, your most precious possession is your life. That's why I urge you to please take good care of your health. Monitoring your health and taking steps to prevent illness are reflections of the wisdom of Buddhist faith and practice."
SGI Newsletter No. 8311, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 24: Chap. 4 , Beacon 11, translated Aug. 31st, 2011
