-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now is the season when it gets seriously cold  

 and the temperature suddenly falls.

Let's take the very best 

  of precautionary measures 

   to protect our health from "breaking down." 

By doing a sonorous gongyo 

 and resonant daimoku,
  let's make our dynamic life force 

   manifest itself!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"SGI districts are beacons of happiness in our communities.

"The more painful the sufferings of karma afflicting our members and the fiercer the waves of adversity assailing society, the brighter Soka districts shine with the light of boundless hope and courage. They enable everyone to navigate their way through life towards happiness and security."

From the October Editorial, Soka Districts Are Beacons of Happiness, October 2020 issue of Daibyaku Renge, translation released December 2020.
