-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those of you who are delivering
the Seikyo Shinbun and/or our other SGI publications,
I thank you with the utmost respect
for your perseverance in this brutally cold weather!
At the same time,
to all of the local reporters of our publications
and those people in charge of promoting subscriptions,
again my sincerest appreciation for your efforts!
I earnestly chant for
the absolute safety and good health
of all of you who are the backbone
of our regular publications!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The fundamental purpose of our movement is to enact the grand and exciting drama of bringing happiness to all humanity and peace to the world. It is an epic poem that will continue to be told and passed on from mentor to disciple, from parent to child, and from generation to generation.
"Let's keep pressing forwards as long as we live. Let's emulate King Rinda who, the Daishonin says, was able to bring forth physical strength and perceptive powers many hundreds and thousands of times greater than they had been before (cf.WND-1,986; 'King Rinda').
"Those who dedicate their lives to the Mystic Law do not stagnate physically or spiritually. They can tap limitless life force from within and also bring forth immeasurable good fortune and wisdom."
The Eternal Citadel of Soka, A Wonderful Story of the Victory of Mentor and Disciple, from the 1st December 2017 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released January 2018
