-- TO MY FRIENDS --
With the severe summer heat lingering on,
let's take every precaution to avoid getting heatstroke.
Let's also pay close attention to the subtle changes in temperature
and keep a good eye on the state of our health.
It is only through staying healthy that
we can have the energy we need to advance!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is rare to be born a human being. The number of those endowed with
human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a
fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain -- as hard as it
is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a
single day with honour than to live to 120 and die in disgrace."

(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 851)
