-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we're driving back to our hometowns
or other places (for the holiday season),
let's be sure to give ourselves ample time
to get there.
Also trying to do other things while driving
(like using our mobile phones)
or driving under the influence of alcohol
are an absolute "NO"!
Let's be careful not to be overconfident
or careless at all times!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The fact that her prayers have gone unanswered is like a strong bow with a weak bowstring, or a fine sword in the hands of a coward. It is in no sense the fault of the Lotus Sutra."
(The Royal Palace
- WND Vol. I, page 489)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I am always closely observing who is really promoting kosen-rufu and supporting the Soka Gakkai.
"If cunning and deviousness start to prevail, if leaders stop striving selflessly and just send in reports in which they take credit for others' hard work, how unfair that would be to our members! You mustn't allow that to happen to the Soka Gakkai."
