-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I'd like to express my deepest sympathy
and concern
to all of those who are suffering
from this record heavy rain (in Japan now).*
Let's all continue to closely watch out for,
and on our guard,
for such frequently occurring natural disasters
(around the world)!
* Kyushu, the southernmost main island of Japan, has been deluged by heavy rain and flooding following Typhoon Nanmadol, causing loss of life and homes.

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

- WND, Vol. I, page 217)
