-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Beware of torrential down pours 
and landslides 
caused by typhoons 
or other types of bad storms.
Even after a storm has passed,
stay away from rivers 
which are swollen,
always act with caution!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The first shi of the word shishi, or "lion" [which means "teacher"], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means "child"] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The "roar" is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Worldwide kosen-rufu is the great vow of the Soka Gakkai. Even when Japan's militarist government clamped down on the freedom of speech during World War II, founding president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi continued to boldly proclaim the mission of the Soka Gakkai. To paraphrase, he said: 'The Mystic Law is the supreme principle for living that all humanity is longing for and the means for attaining Buddhahood. Through the experiment of applying the Mystic Law to our lives, we Soka Gakkai members prove its great power and thereby make it easily accessible to everyone. Let's widely impart the benefit of the Mystic Law and keep working until all people achieve unsurpassed happiness.'" 

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating The World, [66] The Journey of Mentor and Disciple for Worldwide Kosen-rufu—Creating a Global Network for Peace, Relieving the Suffering of All People, from the October 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge- Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translation released July 2021
