-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Take the utmost care
against heat exhaustion!
While not hesitating
to use the air conditioner,
let's make sure
to stay well hydrated.
When outside,
let's also effectively take
preventive measures,
such as putting up a parasol,
wearing a hat (with a good brim),
etc..

"Just as flowers open up and bear fruit, just as the moon appears and invariably grows full, just as a lamp becomes brighter when oil is added, and just as plants and trees flourish with rain, so will human beings never fail to prosper when they make good causes."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Buddhism enables us to find deeper meaning in hardships, encouraging us to see them as opportunities for strengthening our faith and our lives. Our faith grows stronger through confronting and challenging our karma head-on. The purpose of our Buddhist practice is to establish a serene, unshakeable state of happiness.
"The established Buddhist schools of the Daishonin's day taught that people's suffering and hardships were retribution for their negative causes, or bad karma, from past existences. But that explanation could not serve as a force for breaking through and transforming real-life challenges.
"Nichiren Buddhism, on the other hand, is a teaching that enables people to change their destiny. That is because the Mystic Law is the fundamental means for overcoming all suffering."
