-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Beware of heat exhaustion!
While making sure to stay hydrated,
it's also important to use air conditioners 
and electric fans effectively.
At the same time, 
let's pay close attention to especially 
children and senior citizens!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When the people all chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the wind will no longer buffet the branches, and the rain will no longer break the clods of soil. The world will become as it was in the ages of Fu Hsi and Shen Nung. In their present existence the people will be freed from misfortune and disasters and learn the art of living long."

(On Practicing the Buddha's Teachings 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 392)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"You are the morning suns of Soka and the shining jewels of kosen-rufu, encouraging one another and advancing together, undefeated by even the most difficult times. Your youthful solidarity is a beacon of light for society and a source of hope for the world's future.

"Writing to a woman disciple, Nichiren Daishonin says: 'The Buddha dwells within our hearts. For example, flint has the potential to produce fire, and gems have intrinsic value' (WND –1, 1137). Everyone is an infinitely precious individual possessing the Buddha nature. Through the Mystic Law, everyone can bring forth the limitless courage, wisdom and compassion of their own innate Buddhahood.

"Therefore, no matter what challenges you face, if you continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you can move everything in a positive direction —  in the direction of happiness and victory —  and shine in your own true way. Your vibrant progress in your human revolution will bring about a change in those around you, in your circumstances and even in your community and society."

SGI Ikeda Kayo-Kai Day, Progress Vibrantly in Your Human Revolution!, from 4th June 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021.
