-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Summer is a season
when many people like to travel -
to go back home, go on holiday, etc..
If you do have to drive though,
please be sure to take appropriate breaks
and drive carefully following
all the traffic rules at all times.
Let's always exercise prudence
in the things we do.*
*"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." - WND-I, page 1000

"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakīrti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills
- WND, Vol. 1, page 937)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we recognise the dignity of our own lives, we recognise the dignity of the lives of others. The bodhisattva way of life in Nichiren Buddhism is to stand up with the wish to help others bring forth their inherent dignity, and to become happy alongside them. When each person plays an active role in the effort to spread the Mystic Law—striving for the happiness of all humanity while surmounting their own problems—this is the true image of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth."
The Buddhism of the Sun —Illuminating the World, (390) A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 10, The Stand-alone Spirit is the heart of Nichiren Buddhism, from the October 2017 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released June 2018
