-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always try to be on good terms with our fellow members.
Let's also try to become good friends with people in the local community.
When we have such an honest desire to do so,
good fortune will always blossom.
If we advance in harmony by encouraging one another,
our strength will become twofold, threefold and even more.
