-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When the weather is unsettled,
please be as considerate as possible
about elderly members' attendance,
(thinking how we can support them,
or if they rather should stay at home, etc.).
Let's make sure, as "leaders",
to put our fellow members' safety
at the top of our priorities!

"A hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practice in the impure world."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Barbaric violence continues to rack the world, and angry, hate-filled cries and vicious misrepresentations seem ever more prevalent. That is why we of the SGI must spread our message of peace and humanity all the more widely, loudly, and energetically, respecting and trusting others and expanding our positive network.

"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'When we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for the happiness of ourselves and others, our lives become imbued with the Mystic Law, and we want to share it with others and lead them to happiness, too. This practice is the way to improve both our own lives and society as a whole!'"
