-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make the most of this
significant time as we see out the
old year and
welcome in the new year.
Let's deepen our relationships
with friends and family
whom we normally can't
get the opportunity to meet.
Let's create and expand our bonds
towards a bright new year!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
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. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life.
(The Opening of the Eyes - WND, Vol. 1, page 283)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The dawn of a new year marks the start of a fresh drama of human revolution.
"If everyone were to support and encourage one another throughout the year in the spirit of goodwill and appreciation with which we welcome the first day of the New Year, how bright and cheerful our world would be!"
January 2019 Daibyaku-renge, Editorial, translation released December 2018
