-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I am wholeheartedly sending daimoku

by the disasters caused by
the record torrential rains in the south-western
and central parts of Japan.
May you be safe!
May you stay in good health!
And may you be able
to change poison into medicine!
To all those affected by the
torrential rains, I am sending
you daimoku.(*)
May you be safe!
May you stay healthy!
May you change poison into medicine!(**)

Transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Teaching another something is the same as oiling the wheels of a cart so that they turn even though it is heavy, or as floating a boat on water so that it moves ahead easily. The way to become a Buddha easily is nothing special. It is the same as giving water to a thirsty person in a time of drought, or as providing fire for a person freezing in the cold.'
– From 'The Wealthy Man Sudatta' (WND – 1, 1086).
"The Soka Gakkai is an unsurpassed realm of 'good friends.' There are the men's and women's division members who chant, show genuine concern for, and encourage others with incredible sincerity. There are countless good seniors in faith who are a source of inspiration. This is why our youth can brilliantly manifest their potential.
"Right now, the young men's division academy members along with our young women and student division members--ranks of capable Bodhisattvas of the Earth--are vibrantly active.
"Our sincere wish to help our juniors grow to become even more capable than ourselves is the driving force for doing our human revolution and helping them do the same."
Advancing with the Gosho (2), (20) Let's Foster New Capable People! Translated from the 26th May, 2018 edition of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2018
