-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be very careful not to slip or fall
on snowy or icy roads!
When we have to go out,
let's allow ample time to get to where we need to go
and give careful thought to what we need to do when we go out.
Staying accident free is the basis for happiness

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This sutra is superior to all other sutras. It is like the lion king, the monarch of all the creatures that run on the ground, and like the eagle, the king of all the creatures that fly in the sky."

(The Sutra of True Requital - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1,
page 929) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 5th, 2015

Saturday, Feb 7th, 2015
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who strive for kosen-rufu are worthy of the highest respect. It doesn't matter what organisational position they may have. We must always remember that those working and struggling the hardest in the most trying circumstances are the most noble.

"Both the writings of Nichiren Daishonin and the Lotus Sutra are filled with praise for such individuals."
