-- TO MY FRIENDS --

This is the time of year 

when accidents increase 

at the sea-side, in the mountains

and along rivers.

Try to take note of 

and keep up to date about 

sudden changes in weather conditions 

and take extra care to look after your health

and well being. 

As the Daishonin warns,  

  "Be even more careful than usual."(*)


(*)"Nine Thoughts to One Word," WND 2, 731
