-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As the bitter cold continues.
Let's be prepared with preventive measures!
Making it a habit to adequately and regularly gargle
and wash our hands,
let's try our best not to catch a cold.
Strong and focused Daimoku
let's try our best not to catch a cold.
Strong and focused Daimoku
for our good health is the way!

"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'If you strike a bell powerfully, it rings loudly; if you strike it weakly, it rings softly. A similar principle applies to the Gohonzon. It is the power of our own faith and practice that brings forth the power of the Buddha and the power of the Law and enables us to receive great benefit.' Nothing is more powerful than prayer infused with the great vow for kosen-rufu."
