-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be careful not to catch a cold or get the flu!
Let's take every possible precaution
to prevent ourselves from getting sick
by washing our hands and gargling when we return home,
and keeping amply warm when weather conditions change for the worse.
Doing our best to stay in good health is vital
in order for us to be victorious and successful!

"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison."
(Chapter Thirteen: Encouraging Devotion,Point Five,
on the words "to roar the lion's roar" (sa shishi ku)
- The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 111)
