-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In the season when
the air becomes dry.
Be extremely wary of fire hazards!
First and foremost,
let's check our surroundings
and see if there isn't anything
that can easily catch fire
that has been left around.
Check also to see if there is any risk
from overloading any electrical outlets.
Don't put off doing safety checks
until later - do them now!

"It is due to the authority and supernatural power of Bodhisattva Universal Worthy that this Lotus Sutra is propagated throughout Jambudvipa. Therefore the widespread propagation of this sutra must be under the care and protection of Bodhisattva Universal Worthy."

"Naturally, as we advance in years, we cannot avoid physical decline to some extent and other unexpected challenges, but the Daishonin resoundingly declares: 'The votary [practitioner] of the Lotus Sutra is the Thus Come One [Buddha] whose lifespan is immeasurable' (WND–1, 471).
"The lives of every member of our Soka family are absolutely assured of triumph throughout the three existences of past, present and future."
Our Journey of Mentor and Disciple Shining with Hope and Victory, Enjoying Eternal Youth to the Fullest, from the September 18th, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper.
