--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
I'd like to express my sincerest sympathy to
all of those who have been stricken by this past typhoon.
Please stay on your guard and act with prudence.
Let's all chant daimoku together with strong conviction
that we will definitely change everything into great good.
* Here in Tokyo we have had several days of off and on severe rainfall as a typhoon literally crawls across the mainland. Tokyo though has not bared the full blunt of this typhoon, further down south there has been major flooding caused by the rains that has never ever been seen before and so far 27 people have been killed in either the floods or landslides caused by the rains. A further 50 or more people are still unaccounted for.

The Mystic Law is the vital force for revival.*
The momentum of a leader who takes on all challenges,
