-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be careful about extreme swings in temperature,
and make every possible effort
to stay in the very best of good health!
Leaders I'd like you to always be
considerate and thoughtful about
our elderly members' participation in meetings
and other activities.

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'You should not be afraid. So long as you remain firm in heart, I am sure that the whole truth of the matter will become clear in the end.'
- From the postscript to "Reply to the Sages" (WND-2, 831).
"We can show actual proof of victory in life by striving with courageous faith. My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, urged us to be bold and confident.
"Let's chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and take action with a strong resolve to win in our struggles, no matter what. There are no obstacles we cannot surmount through faith in the Mystic Law.
"I call on you, our "Soka youth," to chant the lion's roar of daimoku and forge ahead, never fearing, despairing, or doubting. Summoning forth the heart of a lion king, bravely take on every challenge."
