-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Exercise extreme caution in the summer
making sure not to experience heat stroke
or be caught out in any water-related accident!
Carelessness is always our worst enemy.
By making wise decisions 
and taking carefully considered actions,
let's spend each day 
overflowing with joy and satisfaction!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I will be the pillar of Japan. I will be the eyes of Japan. I will be the great ship of Japan. This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Makiguchi declared: 'What is the social raison d'être of religion apart from working for the happiness of humanity and making the world a better place?'  True practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism take action for people's happiness and the welfare of society. We must never hesitate to do good."
