-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be the type of leader
who takes the initiative
in going to the front lines of kosen-rufu!
Let's especially encourage our friends
who are unable to attend meetings.
Let's have chats filled with compassion
that "removes suffering and gives joy!"*
(*) "bakku-yoraku" is the practice of compassion in Buddhism - "saving other people from their sufferings and giving them peace and delight."
