-- TO MY FRIENDS --
For many of us, this is the start of a new year
of fresh departures and new determinations.*
Let's take good care of our health
especially as this time in the year is accompanied
by many changes and adjustments in our lives.
Also, let's be careful when commuting about accidents.
Let's live out each day as such that our faith reflects in our daily lives!
* April in Japan and several other countries
is the time for new school years to start and employment/career changes.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you propagate it, devils will arise without fail. If they did not,
there would be no way of knowing that this is the correct teaching."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Everything started from a single individual. The mighty river of worldwide kosen-rufu began from one individual standing up, encouraging one other person and forging ties with them. A great current has been created through trust, hope, and compassion for others.
"We need to make efforts to inspire a single individual and help that person become happy. The kosen-rufu movement starts from there."
SGI Newsletter No. 8968, Advancing Worldwide Kosen-rufu through One-on-One Interactions, from the January 2014 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 2nd April 2014
