-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Beware of blizzards or unexpected storms (cold waves, etc.)
For the sake of all our noble uncrowned heroes and heroines,
who are delivering the Seikyo newspaper
and all our other SGI publications
throughout these tough conditions,
we are sincerely chanting for your absolute safety
and accident free deliveries.
Never rush, try to allow yourself ample time
and above all put your safety first
and foremost when delivering.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Toda continued to encourage them: 'The Daishonin's teachings are absolutely true. When he faced great obstacles, he declared: "Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood" (WND-1, 283).
"No matter what troubles you encounter, never doubt the Gohonzon. As long as you keep practising, free from doubt, you are certain to attain the life state of Buddhahood. The Daishonin tells us we can lead a life of absolute happiness without fail. Things may be tough now, but all you need to do is persist in your faith, without doubt. That's what determines whether you win or lose in life. How about it? Can you persevere?"
