-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our heartfelt appreciation to the uncrowned heroes and heroines*
who traverse the path of great good fortune
challenging many a snowy, cold and windy morning.
It's thanks to your dedicated efforts that kosen-rufu is possible.
Please place utmost priority on remaining free of accidents!

* The deliverers of the Seikyo Shimbun newspaper and our other SGI publications.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practice."

(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 790, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 214)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 6th, 2013
