-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen-rufu is about

meeting with others.
Chanting specifically for what it is we wish to achieve,

let's clearly decide who we want to meet,

when, where and how.

Let's always be trying to start up conversation
in order to deepen our friendships!

This I will state. Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions assail me. Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law.
