-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be very careful of traffic accidents,
fires, scams and bag snatchers!
The Daishonin warns us in one of his writings,
"Be millions of times more careful than ever."*
Let's be sure to remind others

"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison. The verb sa, 'to make' or 'to roar,' should here be understood to mean to initiate or to put forth. It refers to the initiating of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law."

"'Whatever trouble occurs, regarded it as no more than a dream, and think only of the Lotus Sutra.'
- From 'Letter to the Brothers' (WND-1, 502).
"These words, expressing the essence of faith, are addressed to the Ikegami brothers who were facing an uphill struggle against hardship. Even when confronted with a seemingly endless onslaught of challenges, it is important that we keep striving wholeheartedly to realise the great vow for kosen-rufu.
"The focused lion's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will dispel all devilish functions. Buddhism teaches that desires lead to enlightenment. The bigger the difficulties and sufferings we undergo, the more we are able to expand our state of life..
"We determine our own victory. Changing all poison into medicine, let's achieve a dramatic transformation in our lives through human revolution!"
(100) Achieving a Dramatic Transformation through Human Revolution, translated from 28th Dec. 2017 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released January 2018
