-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Starting with those involved
in medical care,
traders and those working
in logistics
who are continuing
to protect and support
our lives and livelihood,
We offer our deepest gratitude
for your precious
and noble work!
To everyone
who is engaged in such efforts,
we are chanting for your good health
and that you remain free of accidents.

"The Daishonin teachers that true joy is not something we savour alone, closed off from others. He says: '"Joy" means that oneself and others together experience joy' (OTT, 146). And he further goes on to state: 'Both oneself and others together will take joy in their possession of wisdom and compassion' (0TT, 146).
"No matter what challenges you may face, please continue to tap your brilliant inner wisdom for creating value and to deepen your compassion for treasuring and respecting each person. Please continue to forge bonds of trust and friendship in your communities and societies, joining with your fellow young global citizens around the world to create a network where each person can shine in their own unique way."
