-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If you notice that your health is not at it's best,
it may be better to take it easy
and not push yourself so unreasonably.
At such times head home early and go to bed as soon as you can
so that you can give your body time to rest and recover.
If we find someone in such a situation,
let's be considerate of them and encourage them to get the rest.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This I will state. Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions assail me. Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'You must not only persevere [in faith] yourself; you must also teach others' (WND-1, 386). It is important that we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo earnestly ourselves and also enable one person and then another to form a connection with the Mystic Law.

"...Prayer--chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo--must be the foundation of our efforts to share Buddhism with others."
