-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's all be very careful to prevent heat stroke!
It is vital that we keep rehydrated constantly and take every possible measure to protect ourselves from the sun by using a hat or parasol, etc.
Let's live each and every day successfully by maintaining good health!
*Japan has recently been stricken by a heat wave. It is found that between July 17 and 23, 52 people died and 5,896 people were sent to hospital to be treated for heat stroke. (Ref. Yomiuri Shimbun News)

"T'ien-t'ai states, 'From the indigo, an even deeper blue.' This passage means that, if one dyes something repeatedly in indigo, it becomes even bluer than the indigo leaves. The Lotus Sutra is like the indigo, and the strength of one's practice is like the deepening blue."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If we care about the peace and prosperity of society, we must strive to establish a solid pillar of goodness and justice in people's hearts. Everything begins with the inner transformation of human beings themselves. We must also build a strong humanistic force for peace within society. Otherwise, the devilish nature of authority will dominate, and the cycle of suffering will be perpetuated."
