-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our deepest and heartfelt appreciation to our uncrowned heroes and heroines*
who walk the path of the greatest good fortune.
Please be extremely careful on slippery icy winter roads.
I chant for you all to remain absolutely safe and free of accidents.
Let's all try to do our utmost to look out for
and be thoughtful of those around us.

* The deliverers of the Seikyo Newspaper and our other SGI publications

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you propagate it, devils will arise without fail. If they did not, there would be no way of knowing that this is the correct teaching."

(Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 501)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 27th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The power of the Gohonzon is activated through faith. In other words, through the power of our faith and practice, we can bring forth the power of the Buddha and the power of the Law, thereby awakening to our unique potential and mission and achieving a life of victory. Here, we also find the basis for the realisation of genuine, lasting world peace. This is why Mr. Toda equated propagating the Gohonzon with spreading happiness."

SGI Newsletter No. 8691, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory, [43] "Reply to Niiama"
The Gohonzon Opens the Way to Happiness for All People, translated 25th Dec. 2012
