Beware of the extremely large 
and strong typhoon!
By checking the 
latest weather information,
let's be fully prepared 
for any possible disasters!
At times like this, 
it is important to 
"be millions of times more
careful than ever."*

"And now the place where Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, 'whether . . . in mountain valleys or the wide wilderness' (chapter twenty-one, Supernatural Powers), these places are all the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light. This is what is meant by 'the place of practice.'"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"You have faith in the Mystic Law, which makes you undefeatable.Even when you're feeling down or struggling with some problem if you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you can cause the sun to rise in your heart. Just as the light of the sun nurtures flowers, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo can help you steadily develop your best qualities and greatest strengths.

Each of you has your own special flower, the flower of your unique mission. 

I hope you will chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with optimism and move towards your dreams."
