-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Watch out for natural disasters!
With no complacent thinking like:
"I'll be all right!"
let's be fully prepared 
and never let our guard down.
At the same time, 
by reminding each other 
to ensure everyone's safety,
let's reinforce 
our ties of mutual assistance 
in the local community
now more than ever!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When one comes to realise and see that each thing—the cherry, the plum, the peach, the damson—in its own entity, without undergoing any change, possesses the eternally endowed three bodies, then this is what is meant by the word ryō, 'to include' or all-inclusive."

(The Immeasurable Meanings Sutra
 - OTT, page 200)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin calls illness 'the Buddha's design.' What he means by this is that experiencing ill health motivates us to reflect deeply on ourselves and to stand up resolutely in faith. That is why he says: 'Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way.'"

Building a Bright Future based on Our Vow, [23] The Lay Nun Myoshin—Winning through Daimoku at the Crucial Moment, Future Journal, February 1st, 2020 issue, translation released July 2022.
