Let us not be negligent about our health amidst this fierce heat wave!
Let us also be extra cautious about sudden weather changes,
especially when there is an unexpected downpour or lightening.
With constant vigilance and prudence*
let us stay safe, warding off any kind of accident or incident.
* Gosho: "It is a matter of rejoicing that your usual prudence and courage, as well as your firm faith in the Lotus Sutra, enabled you to survive unharmed."
"The deeper the roots, the more luxuriant the branches. The farther the source, the longer the stream."
"Trying to talk to people about the Daishonin's Buddhism in itself represents a noble effort to "establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land." There may be times when you feel frustrated in your attempts to have meaningful conversations with others, but don't be disheartened. Your seniors in the men's and women's divisions have become experts in dialogue through just such challenges, persevering and learning from the process. If everything always went smoothly from the beginning, you'd never grow and develop!"
