-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Keeping an eye on members
who are going through difficult times,
let's offer compassionate advice based on faith
always considerate and thoughtful
of their situation.
Let's listen to them very carefully
and encourage them,
"removing suffering and giving joy,"*
leaving not one person behind!
(*"Removing suffering and giving joy", or "bakku-yoraku" is the practice of compassion in Buddhism interpreted as encompassing the two merciful deeds: saving other people from their sufferings and giving them peace and delight. Buddhism encourages us to rescue people from suffering and give them peace and joy.)
