-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be careful not to cause a car accident!
When we are tired or careless,
devils (negative functions in the universe)
can take advantage when our guard is down.
By reminding each other of this point,
let's put safety as our top priority when driving!

"...the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."
(The Three Obstacles and Four Devils -The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. I page 637)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The SGI is an organisation directly connected to Nichiren Daishonin, dedicated to realising the vow for kosen-rufu in accord with the Buddha's intent and decree.
"As we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for ourselves and others, the same life state as the Daishonin wells forth powerfully within us.
"It is just as Nichikan Shonin (1665–1726) declares: 'Through the power of the Mystic Law, we manifest the life of the Daishonin within ourselves' (Commentary on 'The Entity of the Mystic Law').
"In other words, we are all direct disciples of Nichiren Daishonin. We embrace the supreme Law for realising happiness for ourselves and others. We all, without exception, have a noble mission."
SGI Newsletter No. 9220, Humanistic Teachings for Victory, Set Out on a New Youthful Journey, Awareness of Being Directly Connected to the Daishonin, from 20th Nov., 2013, issue of the Soka Shimpo, translation released 20th March, 2015.
