— TO MY FRIENDS —
Let's be very careful when heavy snowfall or blizzards are expected.
When they happen, let's make sure that
we take every possible precaution to stay safe on icy roads
and pay close attention to any kind of traffic disruptions.
I am earnestly chanting that all of our members,
especially our publication deliverers,
stay absolutely accident free.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page
385) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 8th, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"Nothing is more noble than the ties linking people who support and encourage one another.

"Helping a precious friend become happy; striving to impart courage and hope to each person we encounter and to write an inspiring drama of human revolution together with them—such efforts will shine in our lives as a supreme badge of honour.

"No amount of praise can possibly do justice to your arduous, dedicated efforts for the sake of kosen-rufu. You have all created admirable records of achievement. Please continue doing your best and adorn your lives with magnificent victory. Please persevere in faith and shine as brilliant protagonists of Soka on the stage of your chosen mission. I hope you will keep polishing your lives with daimoku and proudly win each day."
