-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Good health and safety
are the foundation of everything.
We can never be too careful
about being on our guard.
Let'a wisely remind one another
about this point!

"But your faith alone will determine all these things. A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It is important that we afford children the highest respect as individuals in their own right. Helping children grow requires total commitment on our part. There is a fine adult inside every child. We need to direct our voices to that inner adult. We must never treat children in a dismissive or condescending manner, assuming they won't understand and thinking it's okay not to fully explain things.
"We must believe in children's immense potential, and strive to develop their innate capacities as well as our own. The more we broaden our own minds, the more we can inspire and foster others. That is why our own growth is indispensable to our efforts to help others grow."
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, [1] The Future Division: The Key to the Ongoing Development of Kosen-rufu, 1. Aiming Towards the Soka Gakkai's Centennial with the Future Division, January 2018 Daibyakurenge, translation released September 2019
