-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be sure to take the necessary steps
to protect ourselves against the cold weather
and do all that we need to do to make sure
that we stay warm throughout this period.
Before we go outside,
it is important to remind ourselves
"we're going out into the cold!"
At the same time,
let's be very careful on snowy and icy paths and roads.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 345)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 17th, 2011
