-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's prepare thoroughly for the winter cold.
Let's pay careful attention to our health and avoid catching a cold
by taking wise and good common sense precautions
such as washing our hands and gargling frequently.
It is my strong hope that we all make our health our number one concern!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This life is like a dream. One cannot be sure that one will live until tomorrow. However wretched a beggar you might become, never disgrace the Lotus Sutra."

(A Warning against Begrudging One's Fief - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 824)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, November 17th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"One's commitment to unity is manifested in one's everyday words and actions."

"...As President Toda declared: "The Soka Gakkai will always triumph through the unity of 'many in body, one in mind'!"...

"We're all human, so of course there will be some people with whom we just don't like. But our Buddhist practice and human revolution entail making the effort to get along with all people for the sake of kosen-rufu. In such cases, we should chant daimoku earnestly and strive to expand our life-state. When our life-state becomes broader and higher, we are able to accept everyone."
SGI Newslettter No. 8376, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 25: Chap. 1, Light of Happiness 19, translated Nov. 15th, 2011
