-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be on your guard, ever more so, for 
suspicious-looking shady scams.
Do not respond too hastily
to out-of-the-blue, unexpected
phone calls or people at the door.
Without depending on just your own 
reactionary judgment,
always consult those around you 
(whom you trust)!

--- 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.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'The Lotus Sutra is the staff that helps all the Buddhas of the three existences as they set their minds on enlightenment. However, you should rely on Nichiren as your staff and pillar. When one uses a staff, one will not fall on treacherous mountain paths or rough roads, and when led by the hand, one will never stumble.'

- From 'The Swords of Good and Evil' (WND–1, 451).

"Nichiren Daishonin is our 'staff and pillar,' supporting us over the difficult and treacherous roads of birth, ageing, sickness and death.

"Our journey through life with the Mystic Law is absolutely secure. We forever advance on the path of happiness imbued with eternity, joy, true self and purity.

"Our chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, in turn, serves as a 'staff and pillar' for our family members and loved ones, transcending life and death. There are no bonds stronger than those we share as members of the Soka family."

Engraving the Daishonin's Writings in Our Hearts, SGI President Ikeda's Words of Encouragement, [61] Advancing Forever on the Path of Happiness, from July 15th, 2020, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October 2020
