-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The unstable weather continues.
Let's take good care of ourselves,
and stay alert to natural disasters
such as wind and flooding!
Let's never neglect our
"usual prudence"*
and make our health and safety
our foremost priority!

"The more gold is heated in the flames, the brighter will be its colour; the more a sword is whetted, the sharper it will become. And the more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra, the more one's own blessings will increase. Bear in mind that the twenty-eight chapters of the Lotus Sutra contain only a few passages elucidating the truth, but a great many words of praise."
("The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra",

"'The wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.'
– From "The Wonderful Means of Surmounting Obstacles" (WND–1, 842).
"Nichiren Daishonin sent these words to Shijo Kingo, a practitioner of invincible spirit and the predecessor of today's men's division members.
"A pillar must stay firm. Faith in the Mystic Law enables us to remain unshaken by any hardship we face in life or society.
"Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with a vow for kosen-rufu is the key to positively transforming
poison into medicine. Rather than worrying about ways and means, it's important that we unhesitatingly employ the 'strategy of the Lotus Sutra' and keep striving our hardest."
