-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's that time in the seasons
when temperatures fluctuate greatly
and it's therefore easy to get sick.
Let's be careful about
catching a cold or getting the flu.
By "being millions of times
more careful than ever",*
let's use our wisdom
and take every possible measure
to prevent ourselves from getting sick.
Gosho: WND-1, p. 839

"Toki, Saburō Saemon-no-jō, Kawanobe, Āchārya Yamato, and the rest of you, gentlemen and priests, should read this letter to one another and listen."

"I often receive letters from members telling me how grateful they are for the past support and encouragement of a senior in faith, saying that it played a formative role in their life.
"It doesn't matter whether our efforts are met with applause or praise from others. Unseen virtue in the form of dedicating ourselves for others' happiness adorns our lives with visible rewards and brings immeasurable good fortune and benefit to our families for generations to come."
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, [1] The Future Division: The Key to the Ongoing Development of Kosen-rufu, 3. Be Good Friends to the Future Division Members, January 2018 Daibyaku-renge, translation released September 2019
