-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Everything starts
from us becoming people
who can
understand or sympathise with
the people around us.
This is the first step
towards encouraging someone.
Let's sincerely lend our ears
to our friends
and have heart-to-heart talks!

The three types of enemies have already appeared. Who, then, is the votary of the Lotus Sutra? Let us seek them out and make them our teacher. [As the Lotus Sutra says, to find such a person is as rare as for] a one-eyed turtle to chance upon a piece of driftwood [with a hole just the right size to hold them].
