-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Traffic accidents happen
when we're careless or inattentive.
Using a mobile phone while driving
is an absolute NO!
By giving ample flexible time
to the travel plan,
wherever we might be going,
let's make safety our top priority
at all times!

"In order to repay my debt to my mother, I have vowed to enable all women to chant the daimoku of this sutra."
(The Sutra of True Requital
- WND, Vol. 1, page 931)

SGI President Ikeda's guidance,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Lotus Sutra depicts a series of scenes in which Shakyamuni's disciples, moved upon hearing his teaching of the dignity of life, one by one begin to voice their vow to live by this principle. This sets off a chain reaction of jubilation—described in such phrases as 'their hearts were filled with great rejoicing' and 'their minds danced with joy' — by which will deepen their sense of the ultimate value and dignity of life.
"The People's movement of the SGI is powered by this same sense of mutually shared joy. It arises from efforts to support each person across differences, so they may continue advancing as they take on life's challenges. It flows from witnessing friends shine with dignity as they persevere in the face of difficulty, from celebrating another's growth and progress as though it were our own. This sharing and mutual savouring of joy has been the wellspring of our movement."
