— TO MY FRIENDS —
Let's not be the cause of any traffic accidents!
When driving, let's keep our eyes on the road at all times,
and exceeding the speed limit or drinking-and-driving must be strictly avoided.
By using our wisdom and good common sense,
let's spend a meaningful and valuable time
during this holiday season!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Leave such people strictly alone. The time will certainly come when, by the workings of Brahmā, Shakra, and other gods, the entire Japanese nation will simultaneously take faith in the Lotus Sutra. At that time, I am convinced, many people will insist that they too have believed since the very beginning."

(The Workings of Brahmā and Shakra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 800) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 23rd, 2013

December 23rd-29th, 2013
— WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin states,
"Where there is unseen virtue, there will be visible reward."*
I would like to express my deepest appreciation to
all those members who have dedicatedly and tirelessly played,
behind the scenes throughout the year,
the roles of support and help for all the participants at our meetings.
By taking good care of our health and always staying safe,
first and foremost,
let's add another golden year to our lives!

*"Unseen Virtue and Visible Reward" - WND, page 907
