Today, let's study our attitudes how to pay attention to the smallest things to prevent accidents. 

New Human Revolution - Vigilant Safeguarding

"Some people tend to take things for granted. They assume that the present situation will continue unchanged, and since nothing bad has happened so far, they don’t have to worry about what might happen next, even though in actuality some danger may be growing in their midst."

"Nichiren Daishonin writes, 'A Wise person, while dwelling in security, anticipates danger' (WND 621)
Astute people will always be prepared for an emergency, even when the situation seems safe."

“You are giving your all amid trying circumstances, and for that, I am grateful. But remember that all your efforts for kosen-rufu and to support the members will return to you as great good fortune. As Buddhists, we strive based on that conviction. And those efforts will also ensure your final victory.”

“The ability to pay careful attention starts with your attitude. It then needs to be backed up by prayer filled with a sense of responsibility and the determination not to overlook anything that could lead to an accident. Through that prayer, the protective forces of the universe will be activated, augmenting your wisdom and focus.”

“NIchiren wrote to Shijo Kingo, 'Determine to take every possible precaution” And “Be millions of times more careful than ever' (WND P.839)
He warned him to pay attention to the smallest details and be more careful than ever. Being cautious is essential if you are to protect yourselves and be victorious in this harsh world”
