-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When the air becomes dry like it is now,
it's vital that we carry out all the necessary fire precautions.
Let's make sure that no flammables are left out
and let's always double check any possible source of fire.
By proactively taking every possible precaution,
let's make great advancement together!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When you shake your head, your hair sways; when your mind begins to work, your body moves. When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?"
(Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Fashioned by Nichigen-nyo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 811) Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shinbun, November 5th, 2012

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Make the determination,
chant earnest daimoku,
and take courageous action
- this is the rhythm for victory!
Today again,
no matter what might confront us,
brimming with fresh new determination,
let's chant daimoku with the great strength of a roaring lion,
and hoist aloft the banner of indomitable spirit and courage!
