-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Take care not to catch influenza
or any other stomach-related illness!
Now is the season in which
the cold can become very intense.
When you're not feeling so well
there is no need to overdo it,
always take the necessary
health precautions!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Blue dye comes from indigo, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the colour is better than that of the indigo plant. The Lotus Sutra remains the same, but if you repeatedly strengthen your resolve, your colour will be better than that of others, and you will receive more blessings than they do.
