--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
Let's all be very careful about summer accidents!
Seemingly small matters are often very important.
At seaside, on a mountain,
let's make every possible effort to stay safe.
At the same time,
let's make sure that our home is safe from fires while we are away
and be extra careful when we drive.
Let's all stay safe without having any kind of accidents!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When one comes to realize and see that each thing--the cherry, the plum, the peach, the damson--in its own entity, without undergoing any change, possesses the eternally endowed three bodies, then this is what is meant by the word ryo, 'to include' or 'all-inclusive'."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 784, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 200)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The goal of our faith is for each individual to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. For that, we must maintain our focus. We need to keep urging ourselves on toward the goal, striving harder today than yesterday, harder tomorrow than today, while continuing to polish and deepen our faith, and remaining steadfastly dedicated to our Buddhist practice."
