-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As a severe cold wave 

approaches Japan,
beware extremely 

of the sudden accumulation 

of snow caused by such 

cold conditions!

Refraining from 

non-essential trips 

out of our homes,
let's make sure to 

put our safety first and foremost.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens."

(Happiness in This World 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 681)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'If the embankments around a moat do not leak, then the water will never escape from the moat. And if the mind of faith is perfect [firm and solid], then the water of wisdom, the great impartial wisdom, will never dry up.'

"From 'Letter to Akimoto' (WND–1, 1015).

"The wisdom of the Buddha is boundless and immeasurable. When we fuse our lives with the Gohonzon [through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], we can limitlessly tap the 'water of wisdom' from the wellspring within us.

"Whatever our problems or challenges, the key is to face them squarely and chant specifically about each one. Faith dedicated to fulfilling our vow for kosen-rufu will never be deadlocked; a way forwards will always open.

"Let's send daimoku to everyone in our lives, sincerely and impartially, enveloping them in the blessings of the great beneficial power of the Mystic Law."

Towards a Hope-Filled Future with the Daishonin's Writings, Tapping the Inexhaustible Wellspring of Buddha Wisdom Within, translated from   3rd September, 2022 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2022.
