-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's essential for us to wisely,
and with good common sense,
manage our physical health!
We all need to be careful
of such seasonal illnesses as influenza,
and to employ every means possible
not to get unnecessarily tired out.
With abundant wisdom and robust life force,
let's make every effort
With abundant wisdom and robust life force,
let's make every effort
to stay on top of our health!

"Some people live their lives without making any contribution to society, concerned only with their own well-being. Others earnestly strive in their Buddhist practice to promote the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism and realise lasting happiness for themselves and for other people as well. There may still be others, who, though professing faith in the Mystic Law, just go through the motions and avoid making real, wholehearted efforts to advance kosen-rufu.
"Though you may succeed in fooling others, no one can escape the Buddhist law of cause and effect, which is rigorous and uncompromising. The Gohonzon is aware of everything. As such, from the perspective of Buddhism, your contributions in splendidly blazing new trails as pioneers of kosen-rufu are incalculable, and the benefits you are accumulating in your lives as a result are truly immense.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Be diligent in developing your faith until the last moment of your life. Otherwise you will have regrets' (WND-1, 1027). That's why I would like all of you to live proudly with a lifelong commitment to spreading the Mystic Law. If you persevere in your Buddhist practice to the very end, you are certain to attain a state of indestructible happiness and enjoy lives rich in good fortune."
