人と花、海と星 -記録だけになった昨今-

　On July 24th, I went to the city of Yokohama. It had been three years since we last visited for the wedding of our youngest daughter in October. This time, I was going to visit her family, but an unfortunate inconvenience arose unexpectedly. Instead, I took a tour of the naval port at Yokosuka Naval Base (the photo shows the KUMANO, a Mogami-class frigate).
　On August 5th, I attended the "Maria Seiren concert" (organized by Min-on). The photo on the left was taken by me during the curtain call with her permission, so the blurriness of the photo is my responsibility.
　The heatwave with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees seems to be coming to an end after 26 consecutive days. But chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is not influenced directly by the environment. As you know well, because Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a diligent practice (The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 214).
