-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be cautious of heat exhaustion!
Be extra cautious 
of dehydration while sleeping
and prolonged bath times!
By staying well hydrated 
and being sure to take 
ample electrolytes
and also using 
air conditioners and fans,
let's take extra care of our health!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our dedicated members are earnestly persevering in sincere one-to-one dialogue to relieve the suffering of one person atter another. Leading this humblest and noblest of efforts are our admirable women of Soka. Thanks to all our members' efforts, a steady stream of capable people is emerging in regions and countries around the world in accord with the Daishonin's teachings, awakened to their mission as Bodhisattvas of the Earth. Worldwide kosen-rufu has thus become a reality. This process will forever remain unchanged. We will always listen patiently to each suttering or struggling person and teach them how they can achieve absolute happiness."
