Extreme heat continues to sweep
the country.
Refrain from going outdoors
unnecessarily, and drink plenty
of liquids.
Make use of the air conditioner as
needed, and make other wise
choices to stay healthy.

―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
The discussion meeting is a place
where we create the future together.
With a youthful heart, let’s engage in
fresh, inspiring conversations
abounding in originality and creativity.
Let’s brim with the Gakkai spirit, confident
that our correct Buddhist faith will
prevail without fail!

If one individual of deep resolve
stands up, then “two, three and
a hundred”(*) will follow.
This is the formula for unity.
Let’s build a castle of capable individuals
in our community through strong
prayer and action!
