* The TMF Team are all finally back home in Japan & America! We've certainly had some journeys! BUT more important it means we can now deliver a "normal" service to you! Thanks for your patience!…

A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be careful about influenza!
Let's make sure to take all possible

preventive measures in our daily lives,
such as wearing appropriate warm clothes,

gargling regularly, washing our hands,
and using a mask* when necessary!
Good health is key to living a happy life!

* As you might know, it is quite the norm in particularly highly populated areas in Japan, and some other Asian countries, to wear a mask to prevent spreading any virus we or others might have!
