— TO MY FRIENDS —
(To those experiencing winter weather conditions)
Let's use caution when we walk or drive
on snow and icy roads.
Let's avoid carelessness and overconfidence
and leave with ample time to get to where we need to get to.
To all of our Seikyo Shimbun Newspaper and
other SGI publication deliverers especially,
please make safety your number one priority!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."

(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 16th, 2013

December 16th-22nd, 2013
— WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
This month let's hold vibrant discussion meetings
where together we celebrate the year's victories.
At the same time, let's make sure that
we express our sincere appreciation to
our members and their families who are so kind
to offer their homes for our meetings throughout the year.
By congratulating and celebrating each other's dedication and devotion,
let's set sail anew towards achieving kosen-rufu!
