-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Beware of heatstroke!*
Never underestimate the risk
even indoors,
let's make sure to stay well hydrated
and adjust the room temperature
accordingly!
At the same time it's important to
look out for the elderly
and remind them about taking the
necessary preventive measures!
* Japan in the last few days has been hit with sudden peaks in temperature, areas that are commonly cool have recorded national high temperature records. Over 2,000 people have had to be hospitalised and 4 people have died.

"Nichiren Daishonin states: 'Unlike most people, in the course of spreading these doctrines of mine I, Nichiren, have occasion to meet with a great many persons' (WND – 2, 778).
"Meeting with people and speaking with them — our efforts to create peaceful societies by spreading the humanistic principles of Nichiren Buddhism are in exact accord with the Daishonin's spirit and embody the heart of Buddhist practice. Those who strive towards that end will without fail bring forth the courage, wisdom and compassion of the Buddha."
Constructing the New Era, Nothing is Nobler Than Our bonds as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, from March 5th, 2019 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released May 2019
