Beware of heatstroke,
be sure to stay well hydrated
and don't forget to replenish
any loss in your sodium levels.
Make climate adjustments accordingly
and do your best to stay in good health.
Always prioritise your health

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'No matter what may happen, you must not slacken in the least. You must raise your voice all the more and [speak out intrepidly].'
- From "Kamatari Suggests the Fashioning of a Buddha Image" (WND-2, 597).
"When we come up against obstacles, that's when the real struggle begins. Like our great predecessors in faith, the Ikegami brothers, who overcame all manner of adversity, let's continue to work unceasingly for kosen-rufu in solid unity.
"We have the lion's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Our courageous resolve will positively transform the entire situation. The voices of intrepid individuals brimming with the Soka Gakkai spirit will create a powerful momentum towards victory.
"Boldly raise your voices all the more and confidently share your convictions! This is the heart of the 'strategy of the Lotus Sutra' (WND-1, 1001)."
