-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's create some wonderful
happy memories of this summer
without leaving things to the last moment
or chasing a packed schedule!
Making sure we don't cause any accidents,
let's do our utmost to use our
"prudence and courage."*
Just as the Gosho reminds us!
* 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."

"Therefore a person who upholds the Lotus Sutra is repaying the debt of gratitude owed to their father and mother. Even if one does not feel in one's own heart that one can do so, one can repay it through the power of this sutra."
(The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude ,

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?' (WND-1, 24). 'Order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land' refers to peace in society. We are fulfilling our mission as Nichiren Buddhists when we strive to bring peace to the land—that is, to create a society where all can enjoy peace and prosperity."
