-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Unusual weather conditions continue to occur.
Be careful to always take the necessary precautions
against sudden downpours and possible disruption from lightening!
Using our usual prudence* and wisdom
let's be sure to live each day safely and accident-free.

* Gosho - The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra", WND-I, page 1000, "It is a matter of rejoicing that your usual prudence and courage, as well as your firm faith in the Lotus Sutra, enabled you to survive unharmed."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you
had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by
day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come.

(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 622)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shinbun, July 25th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Never has there been a time when ties of mutual encouragement and support are more needed than now.

"​As human beings, we all experience times of despair. But if we can endure and overcome those difficult times, they can become an important source of nourishment for our own growth.

"​In the long course of life, especially with regard to those of us who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, everything negative in our lives is definitely transformed into something positive, in accord with the principle of "changing poison into medicine." Therefore, put your mind at ease and live out your lives to the fullest with strong faith, together with your fellow members."
