-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Beware of the rapid development 
in the low barometric pressure 
that causes severe coldness!
At the same time, 
be prepared for possible blizzards.
Caring for each other 
and warning one another,
let's always make our safety 
our top priority 
and so take wise action!

* Japan, particularly on the west coast, is expecting record snowfall, with possibly 3 metres more snow in the next 3 days. Even if this phenomena is unique to certain parts of Asia, please be careful of sudden weather changes and be ready to act where need be.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'There should be no discrimination among those who propagate the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law, be they men or women. Were they not Bodhisattvas of the Earth, they could not chant the daimoku [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo].

-From "The True Aspect of All Phenomena" (WND – 1, 385).

"Worldwide kosen-rufu is a grand adventure, in which we strive to envelop the entire planet in the resonance of the Mystic Law, transforming the sounds of misery and despair into the sounds of hope and joy.

"Nichiren Daishonin paved the way for uniting humanity on the most fundamental level of life. All who chant and spread Nam-myoho-renge-kyo are Bodhisattvas of the Earth, regardless of gender and any other differences.

"Helping everyone reveal their unique potential and bloom as beautiful 'human flowers' (cf.LSOC5, 142), let's continue forging ahead together in our efforts to change the destiny of all humankind."

Engraving The Daishonin's Writings in Our Hearts, [77] Creating a Brilliant Network of Bodhisattvas of the Earth, translated from the September 29th, 2020, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2020.
