-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In the height of summer like now,
it's important that we carefully check our lifestyle.
Let's be careful not to develop unhealthy eating habits
and try to avoid having a lack of sleep.
By using wisdom and good common sense,
let's maintain good health!

"Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 3) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, August 3rd, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If you believe that this year's calendar is accurate and follow it, your life will go smoothly. But if you believe and follow last year's calendar and try to live your life based on it, you're going to get yourself in trouble. We are deeply influenced by the things we believe in.
"Religion shapes our core beliefs, the beliefs we base our lives on. As a result, when we base our life on the truth, we can find happiness. The highest of all teachings is Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism."
