-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Beware of catching the flu (influenza).
Be sure to wash your hands and gargle regularly
and make sure there is proper humidification,
use a mask* also when necessary.
Chant earnestly,
and be sure to use wisdom
to maintain good health!
* Many Asian countries feel it is good etiquette if you have a cold or another contagious illness, at the same time if you are going into crowded areas or other areas where there is possible risk of catching something airborne.

"To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing. Since you visit me constantly, regardless of the difficulties, your belief is comparable to flowing water."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We listen to the problems and concerns of our friends and do our best to encourage them. Out of a sincere wish for their happiness, we talk with them about Nichiren Buddhism and chant for them. It is through such heartfelt daily efforts that we connect our lives to Nichiren Daishonin.
"By living this way, we break out of the confining shell of egoism and bring forth the expansive life states of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth and Nichiren Daishonin, thereby setting in motion a profound inner transformation."
SGI Newsletter No. 9559, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 27: Chap. 3, Fierce Struggle 7, translation released 1st March, 2017
