-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A summer full of self development
and enrichment
starts with a daily life
free of accident or incident.
When we drive,
let's always make safety our top priority.
At the same time,
let's take every precaution to prevent heat stroke.
Let's start each day off with morning gongyo!

SGI President Ikeda's message,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"While I was in Osaka in July 1956, I paid a home visit to a Kansai women's division group leader. Just like many of our women's division group and district leaders today, she strove earnestly for kosen-rufu while raising her young children—often bringing them to meetings with her—and caring for her ill mother-in-law. This women's division leader passed away recently, but she remained actively engaged in Soka Gakkai activities to the very end. She once declared: 'Our local community is a treasure land that has been entrusted to us by the Daishonin. There's no way we won't be able to expand our network of capable people and friends who share a connection with the Daishonin's Buddhism.' Loved and appreciated by members and nonmembers alike, she adorned her life with brilliant victory. This is the true Soka Gakkai spirit."
