-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Instead of thinking about
what obstacles might disable
our advancement,
let's firmly resolve
to make the impossible possible
and take on the challenges!
Such earnest efforts
are certain to bear fruit.
Towards fulfilling our shared vow,
let's be brave, let's be wise!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Recite Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and take care how you behave! Take care how you behave!'
From 'Brothers One in Mind' (WND–2, 914).
"Never give devilish functions the chance to take advantage—the Daishonin cautions the Ikegami brothers. He urges them to unite in one mind and make chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo their foundation.
"Our faith and practice are a battle between the Buddha and devilish functions. Such negative workings lurk where there is carelessness, arrogance and disharmony.
"It's crucial, therefore, to chant strongly and act wisely, firmly determined not to cause or be involved in traffic, fire and other kinds of accidents.
"Let's remember to 'be millions of times more careful than ever' (WND – one, 839).
Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [66] Keeping Devilish Functions at Bay through Resolute Prayer, from 17th December, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2022.
