-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now is the season
when it gets colder and colder 
and the air becomes drier and drier.
Let's take the utmost of precautions 
against any accidents 
that might be caused by fire!
Let's be extremely careful about fire hazards 
and nip any accident before it even buds!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Shakyamuni taught that the shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult.  To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage."

("On Repaying Debts of Gratitude" 
WND-1, page 712)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Human beings are all different from one another. There are no two people who are the same. Our differences make us special and unique.

"That is why it is absolutely wrong to make fun of someone for being different. If you can value and respect other people's differences, you will be treated with respect.

"By making an effort to learn from each other's differences, we can broaden and enrich our lives."
