-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's pay close attention 

to the intense heat!*
1. It's vital that we keep the right humidity 
and a moderate room temperature,
2.. Remember to keep well hydrated 
and replenish any salt loss
3.. Try to refrain from going
out during the day time.
Let's take all possible measures 
against heat stroke.

* Japan is at the moment experiencing an extremely intense heatwave. For many people the "guidances" above might not be so appropriate and may even be the opposite! In either extremes let's try to look after ourselves and take all the appropriate measures to stay safe and healthy!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"At the Soka Gakkai headquarters leaders meeting held the day after Mr. Toda's death, I declared as a representative of the youth division: 'There is only one way to repay the debt we owe our mentor. That is to carry out a great struggle for kosen-rufu, the cause for which our mentor dedicated his life.'

"The path of repaying one's debt of gratitude is the proud path of Soka, now being followed by youthful Bodhisattvas of the Earth in an ending stream. It is the great path of peace paved through our our efforts to eternally perpetuate the Law."
