-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Please exercise extreme caution 
along snow laden and icy roads!
Try to look out for and avoid slippery areas 
as you walk or drive!
Also, don't forget to remind and look out for each other,
starting especially with our publication deliverers 
and elderly people,
so that we can all stay absolutely safe and sound.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena 
- WND, Vol. I, page 385)

SGI President Ikeda's Essay, Seikyo Shimbun,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Dialogue can bring fresh joy to life.

"The American futurist Hazel Henderson says that she learned about peace-building from her mother, who always reached out to speak with others and was loved by all around her for the sincere respect she showed each one of them. Dr. Henderson said that her mother's example made her want to be just like her.[1]

"Nothing is more heartwarming than expressions of care and concern. Such encouragement can draw forth all that is good and positive in another's heart. One life is polished by another. This takes place through dialogue."   

SGI Newsletter No. 9341, Engaging in Joyful Dialogues That Illuminate Others' Hearts, from the February 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 18th Jan., 2016  
 
[1] From an article in the Seikyo Shimbun, October 27th, 2000.
