-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As one season changes to the next
let's be careful about swings in temperature
and use our common sense and wisdom
as we make every possible effort to maintain our good health!
With good health as our top priority, 
let's advance in the very best of spirits!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

("On Prayer" WND-1, page 345)

Seikyo Shinbun:  March 24th, 2016

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who have a mentor in life are never deadlocked. They can always open the path to victory. No way of life is more honourable.

"This drama of the oneness of mentor and disciple will endure for all eternity.

"The bond of mentor and disciple arises from the vow to engage in a shared struggle across the three existences.

"We are eternal comrades who, from time without beginning, have upheld the Law that informs the actions of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas.

"Together, let's continue to walk the great path of disciples, of successors, and of shared commitment—a path that will shine for all time."

SGI Newsletter No. 9371, The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [4] "On the Five Seasonal Festivals," A Great Path of Shared Commitment That Will Shine Eternally, from the August 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 18th March, 2016
