-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make every possible effort to stay in good health.
Let's be careful about extreme fluctuations in the temperature.
Let's get into the habit of regularly washing our hands and gargling.
Let's also make sure to have the right clothes as the seasons evolve.
No matter what,
let's always try to advance with good health as our top priority!

"There has never been, nor will there ever be, a Buddha who does not encounter hardships. Only by struggling against difficulties can we attain the life-state of Buddhahood. Herein lies the essence of Buddhism."
