-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A strong cold wave is moving in.
Take the utmost of caution 
(especially when driving)
for things such as 
whiteout conditions and black ice.
By making sure that 
we are properly prepared
and being extremely careful, 
let's make our safety 
our top priority!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Hence the character myō means to open. If there is a storehouse full of treasures but no key, then it cannot be opened, and if it cannot be opened, then the treasures inside cannot be seen."

(The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 145)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The spirit of a disciple is to strive with the same hope, commitment and efforts as the mentor. By doing so, the disciple is able to attain the same life state as the mentor. The path of mentor and disciple is the foundation of Buddhism and the eternal direct road to the betterment of humankind." 

10th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Moving from a Focus on Others, Sep. 6th, 2022 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2022.
