--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
Cold, dry air can spark fires,
so let's be extremely careful to prevent any such accidents.
Seemingly small matters are important.
Let's make sure we raise our shared awareness
about how we can together live a safe daily existence
and do our utmost to be careful about fires.

"Even an individual at cross purposes with himself is certain to end in failure. Yet a hundred or even a thousand people can definitely attain their goal, if they are of one mind."
(Many in Body, One in Mind

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"After working hard each day, I dragged myself home late at night to study the Daishonin's writings. I would read them aloud, copying into my diary passages that particularly resonated with me. This filled me with conviction and strengthened my prayers. My life brimmed with an indomitable fighting spirit.
"I can still hear Mr. Toda's stern voice reverberating in my ears: 'When you're tired, that's the very time to read the Daishonin's writings! Even just a line or two is fine. Read the Daishonin's writings and expand your life state further.'
"By connecting with the Daishonin's life state as we exert ourselves for kosen-rufu, we develop and expand our own life state. We can summon forth the heart of a lion king—a spirit as vast as the sky and as deep as the sea."
SGI Newsletter No. 9323, The Song of Human Victory, Traversing the Path of Victory Based on Nichiren Daishonin's Writings, from 16th Sep., 2015, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 4th Dec. 2015
