-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be on our guard in regard to fires
in this dry season!
Fires may be caused by leaving
flammable things around,
by allowing sockets to get covered in dust
or plugging in too many things
into one source!
Let's voice our concern for each other
by reminding one another to be careful!

"Even when Jakushō and other priests set out from Japan to take some sutras to China, no one was found there who could embrace these sutras and teach them to others. It was as though there were only wooden or stone statues garbed in priests' robes and carrying begging bowls."
(On the Buddha's Prophecy
- WND, Vol.1, page 401)

"Kosen-rufu is nothing other than building an age of spiritual revolution where each person acts based on a deep belief in the infinitely noble Buddha nature inherent in all people. We are spearheading this movement to effect a great change in the destiny of all humankind.
"As Soka Gakkai members, we are exerting ourselves in faith dedicated to the realisation of kosen-rufu, aiming for the happiness of ourselves and others. This is the perfect embodiment of the all-important spirit of faith taught by the Daishonin."
