Our daimoku like the roar of a lion
has the power to ward off
and overcome the devil of sickness.
By chanting with strong willpower,
lets change poison into medicine!

"No matter how poor these estates might be, avoid complaining of it, either to others or to your lord. If you say, "They are excellent lands," your lord may add to your fiefs again. But if you say things like, "The lands are poor," or "There are no profits," you could very well be forsaken by both heaven and other people. You should bear this in mind."
