-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now is the season
when the mornings and evenings
get increasingly colder.
So as not to catch a cold,
let's make sure to
dress wisely when going out.
Also, let's not forget to
wash our hands and gargle
[on arriving home],
and take good care of our health
without any negligence!

It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, "Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers," cannot be false in any way.

"The Daishonin declares that a genuine 'person of wisdom' is not one who practices Buddhism apart from worldly affairs. He clarifies a fundamental principle of the Lotus Sutra that 'Buddhism encompasses all worldly affairs' and describes the true way of a person of wisdom."
