--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
Summer is a time when 
various types of accidents take place.
Be extremely cautious of fires 
and possible drowning situations!
Try not to drive for too long, 
it's always good to take a break when driving 
in order to remain safe.
By chanting powerful daimoku
let's keep clear of carelessness!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, it will be very difficult for evil persons to do you harm. And if by chance something should happen to you, then you may be certain that it is a retribution in this present life for the hatred that you manifested in some previous existence towards a votary of the Lotus Sutra. Retribution of that kind can never be avoided, no matter how deep one may be within the mountains or how far away at sea."

(Gosho, On Consecrating an Image 
of Shakyamuni Buddha Made by Shijō Kingo, 
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin I, pg. 687)
