— TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's all try to find fellow members and seniors in faith
with whom we can talk about any matter!
Good friends are the greatest treasures of life.
With the combined efforts of our chanting
and our conversations with such good friends
(about the best course of action to take,)
we can definitely find a way forwards!
