-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The season of rising temperatures is upon us.
Even though we might have hectic schedules,
let's always make a point of paying special attention
to our health and well being!
A powerful life force is the very foundation
of victory in all of our endeavours.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, we know that the prayers offered by a practitioner of the
Lotus Sutra will be answered just as an echo answers a sound, as a
shadow follows a form, as the reflection of the moon appears in clear
water, (as a mirror collects dewdrops, as a magnet attracts iron, as
amber attracts particles of dust, or as a clear mirror reflects the
colour of an object.)"

Gosho: "On Prayer", Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, page 340

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Bodhisattvas of the Earth practise and spread the correct teaching of Buddhism in their respective places, just as they are, in the defiled age of the Latter Day of the Law. When we awaken to our identity as a Bodhisattva of the Earth and begin our struggle for kosen-rufu right where we are, the invincible life force of a Bodhisattva of the Earth will pulse within us, the protective functions of the universe will protect us, and we will enjoy infinite benefit.

"However, if fellow members allow conflict and antagonism to develop between, they can end up erasing their benefit and straying from the path to happiness."
