-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"Nam-myoho-renge-
sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"*
By overcoming our cowardice,
the great state of our lives will definitely unfold.
Faith is all about summoning up the ultimate courage.
* "Reply to Kyo'o" - WND, Vol.1, page 412

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But my life from the beginning has been based upon firm
conviction. I have no intention now of reversing my
course, nor will I ever reproach [those who persecuted
me]. Evil persons too will be good friends to me."
(Why No Protection from the Heavenly Gods? - The Writings
of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 432) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 11th, 2008

The SGI's strength is based on our quick and timely
response.
Our swift action is what will impress and inspire people.
Let's all be victorious with the speed of our response and
action.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's have strong life force so that we will not succumb
to heat.
Let's maintain good health by using our wisdom and good
common sense.
Also, let's constantly check to see if elderly people
around us are doing well and express our sincere concern
for them.
