-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I'd like to express my utmost respect
to all of the Tahokai, Hojukai, Kimpokai
and all our other pioneer
members and groups of kosen-rufu!
Your appearance,
with an ever-youthful spirit,
is nothing but inspiring
and is such a good role model for
so many of our fellow members.
Please take very good care of yourselves!

"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."
