-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We're in that time
when the mornings and evenings

are cold.

By putting on 

an extra layer of clothing, etc.,
let's take good care of ourselves 

more wisely than usual.
At the same time, 

let's do our very best 

in our health management
so that fatigue doesn't accumulate.

"During World War II, Mr. Makiguchi declared: "There is no such thing as a self-centred Buddha who simply accumulates personal benefit and does not work for the well-being of others. Unless we carry out bodhisattva practice, we cannot attain Buddhahood."*
