-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's pay close attention to all fire precautions!
No piggy back multiple plugs on single outlets
and don't leave outside unsecured combustibles!
By double checking all possible sources of fire, etc.
and at the same time reminding each other of the necessary precautions,
let's do our utmost to prevent any fires from occurring!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Oct 5th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There is something that I always bore in mind while supporting my mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda. It is the spirit of gladly stepping forward to take on every struggle for kosen-rufu.

"I never shrank back and said: 'I can't do it.' Neither did I arrogantly act as if I was doing someone a favour. I always followed the path of willingly taking action. All of my efforts, therefore, contributed positively to my human revolution; they helped create my personal history and became a source of great good fortune.

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat' (WND-1, 637). I ask you, my successors, to follow this path of the wise.

"Encouraging one another as caring and supportive fellow members, joyfully and dynamically create a new groundswell of victory with your passion and energy!"

SGI Newsletter No. 8825, On Our Shared Journey for Kosen-rufu—II (14) "The Wise Will Rejoice While the Foolish Will Retreat", from 7th April, 2013, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated 15th Aug. 2013
