-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's take the utmost precaution against traffic accidents!
It is vital that we allow ourselves ample time to get to our destination
and to always observe the speed limits.
Any possible risks while driving,
such as using a mobile phone,
or doing something that will take our eyes off the road
must be avoided at all times.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Whatever trouble occurs, regard it as no more than a dream, and think only
of the Lotus Sutra."

(Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 502)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, March 24th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If you're positive and upbeat, you'll lift the spirits of those around you.

"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, the Daishonin states: '"Joy" means that oneself and others together experience joy. . . . Both oneself and others together will take joy in their possession of wisdom and compassion' (OTT, 146). All of us can savour a life-state of boundless joy. We can surmount all obstacles, enrich our character, and become happy without fail. Let's together lead lives of absolute victory!"
