-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's all make the firm determination
not to be the cause of a traffic accident!
Never take your eyes off the road when driving
such as to use a mobile phone or
do other things at the same time as driving!
And let's pay particular attention to our surroundings
at dusk and in the dark!

"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Sep 19th, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"These days people actively try to avoid hard work. They seem to feel that working hard is old-fashioned or a waste of energy. However, this is certainly not the case. In essence, all of our efforts are for our own sake.
"This is an age without discipline—a time when, if you are inclined to depend on others, there is no limit to how dependent you can become. Because of this prevailing climate, those who actively seek out hard work will gain great reward and benefit. Those who thoroughly forge themselves and develop an undefeatable self will be victorious.
"Where else but in the SGI can you find such a precious world of self-education? This is where we can find the path for securing supreme victory in life."
