-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's take good care of ourselves especially around the time when the
temperatures fluctuate a lot.
Rather than being overconfident,
thinking that somehow we'll be OK,
let's make sure to have warm clothing on hand.
To be prudent is a very important point
in order for us to stay healthy and lead successful lives.*

"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 Strategy of the Lotus Sutra", WND-I, page 1000
