-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Please exercise great caution
in this bad spell of torrential rain!
Also let's make every effort we can
to take all the proper precautions
so as not to get heat stroke in the sweltering heat!
Let's make a point of reminding each other
to stay safe, be careful and keep healthy!

"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet"

"Falling ill is not a form of failure or defeat. It doesn't happen because our faith is weak. When the suffering of illness occurs amid our efforts for kosen-rufu, it is the working of devilish influences trying to obstruct our attainment of Buddhahood. As such, we mustn't let illness intimidate us. The Daishonin teaches us how to bring forth courage to face illness and attain Buddhahood in this lifetime.
"When you experience illness, the important thing is to rouse even stronger faith. Keep chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the determination to make this illness an opportunity to demonstrate the tremendous power of faith and achieve truly amazing growth as a human being.
"The Daishonin writes: 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?' (WND-1, 412)."
