-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Autumn, a perfect season to go out
and develop friendships with others.
When we leave the house,
let's always make sure to lock up
and double check all possible fire sources
in and around the house.
At the same time,
take extra care while on the roads.
Let's start each day by chanting sincere and earnest daimoku
focused on these points!

Take precautions against traffic accidents

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Not once have I thought of retreat."

(The Great Battle - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 2, page 465) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, October 21st, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Unity does not mean forcing everyone into a single, uniform mold. Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among the people, they will achieve all their goals, whereas if one in body but different in mind, they can achieve nothing remarkable' (WND-1, 618). He says 'many in body,' not 'one in body.' It is important for us to respect each other's individuality, assist and support each other in a spirit of friendship and goodwill, and enable everyone to make the most of their unique qualities."
