-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What has the power to move a friend's heart is
words of genuine honesty.
There's no need to decorate or patch up
(what it means to you to practise this Buddhism),
share what you've experienced in this faith
just as it is, in your own unique way.
Let's enjoy having really cheerful conversations!
