-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This severe summer heat lingers on.
Let's take every precaution to avoid getting heatstroke,
in particular let's make sure to drink sufficient amounts of liquid,
replenish our vital body salts,
and be careful to check the room temperature
(so that it doesn't get too hot or cold!)
Let's also make sure to constantly and carefully look out for our elderly.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"For instance, there are certain Hinayana bodhisattvas, not yet freed from delusion, who draw evil karma to themselves by their own compassionate vow. If they see that their father and mother have fallen into hell and are suffering greatly, they will deliberately create the appropriate karma in hopes that they too may fall into hell and share in and take their suffering upon themselves. Thus suffering is a joy to them."
(The Opening of the Eyes- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 243)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"All efforts exerted for kosen-rufu bear fruit as good fortune that will adorn you forever. Having striven so arduously for kosen-rufu, you'll be born with a strong and healthy body in your next existence. The great victory of happiness awaits those who have courageously struggled. That's how the Buddhist law of cause and effect operates."
