-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Joy" means that oneself 

and others together 

experience joy.*
When we take action 

for the sake of others,
our own hearts 

prosper at the same time.
Let's strengthen our bonds 

with our fellow members 

and solidify our relations

so much so that we can 

frankly share both our sufferings
and joys in life with each other!

*Gosho: OTT, page 146
