1) The Head Men as well as women must keep their hair cut well. You should have your hair cut neatly, and you should know on which side to part your hair. In Western society as well as Oriental society, men part their hair. In Western society, men part their hair on the left side. It is good to part your hair on the left so that the right half of the hair is bigger than the left half. Women should think about their hair as well. 2) The Face You can't change the face you have right now, but you can change the expression on your face. You have to adjust all these things as a custom. If your teeth are not in good order or if some of your teeth are pointed inwards, then when you pronounce ku, you should not laugh. You must know this. In the case of women, their teeth would look like a viper's teeth. Women with bad teeth should not laugh. It would be terrible to be bitten by such teeth. Poison is very strong. If a woman has such teeth, she would look very poisonous. Therefore, you must understand this and try not laugh with your mouth open. Those of you whose teeth are pointed outward are likely to be talkative. Their lips are always open, and they talk a lot. You should train yourself not to talk. That is important. You must control your physical body and be good at that. When it comes to laughing, some people laugh like this. They laugh with their mouth shut. Some laugh by closing their mouth first, then opening it. There are various ways of laughing. Try to see how you look when you laugh. Everybody has a different style. Study how to laugh in a decent way. Women should not laugh aloud. Women are like flowers. When flowers bloom, they do so without making any noise. They bloom quietly. Those women are beautiful. Those women who are noisy when they laugh are not beautiful. Men may laugh aloud, but women should not. They would look ugly. Even Western women should not laugh aloud. If you train yourself in that way, you can easily know what kind of person they are; whether they are educated or not. Mother is that kind of person. Father complained a lot about small things she did. If Mother were a Western woman, she would have acted against me by saying, "What are you saying? Even if you are a man, you have no right to say such things!" If Mother had said that, she would not have become a representative symbol of the Orient. So, you see, Father is an interesting person. 3) Fingernails and Toenails Since I came to Western society, what I most fear is going in front of women. I feel much danger just looking at their nails. Look at my fingernails and toenails. They are always short. That is necessary. I usually cut my fingernails and toenails. It is my hobby to cut my nails. Those women who keep their fingernails long are those who do not work. Am I correct? How do they type with those nails? So, when I see women with long nails, I regard them as street women. They ask for money with their long hair. Why is it necessary for a working woman to keep long fingernails? How long does it take to grow such long fingernails? Those are not necessary. If you have resentment about not growing your nails long, then you can try once or twice, but I do not want such things. Even if your beloved wife has long nails, how can she catch things with such long fingernails? Do you understand what I mean? Therefore, it is important to cut your nails. Also, those women who wear stockings should not have long toenails. If they do, they will feel pain. They will also feel pain when they wear high heels. 4) Walking Posture As I said earlier, you should walk neatly. That is important. Your posture, when you walk, must be balanced. You should always think whether your posture is good or not. You must also make sure to walk safely. Also, when you're standing, you must be balanced. For women it is not good to have their waist bent. It is the same with men. Also, when you sleep on a bed, your chest should not be like this. The posture must be correct from top to bottom. You should practice sitting correctly. Women should sit with their hips tucked in neatly. You should get accustomed to it very quickly. If you don't, your backbone will be bent. The posture of your walk is important. 5) Sitting Posture When a woman goes somewhere and sits in Western society, she sits on a chair, but in the Orient they do not lean their back on anything. It is because women have big hips. They feel comfortable when they are seated naturally. Men hate small, sturdy hips. Therefore, when women sit leaning on their backs, they have trouble with their babies. When women are pregnant, they should not sit leaning on their back. 6) Words in the Orient There is a saying that when a woman's voice goes beyond the wall, that house will perish. Men's voices are usually loud and go over walls. But women should keep their voices low and talk quietly. That is a natural way. If a woman's voice goes beyond the wall, it is against the Principle. Such a house will perish. By listening to the voice of a woman, one can know how that person will live: whether she will live happily or miserably or be loved. Those things are known. Therefore, a woman's voice is very important. You didn't know such things. 7) Sleeping Here in Western society, how do you sleep? Do you sleep on your back or your chest? When you sleep, you need to think of these things. You need to sleep a sound sleep. Sleep must be peaceful. The man with a big physical body can snore, but women must not snore. It would be troublesome. Women should sleep quietly. If the neck is tucked in, the snoring sound is louder. Therefore, you should keep your pillow like this. When a woman goes into the bed where her husband is sleeping, she should not just enter. She must enter on his side. And, if the husband is sleeping, she must enter quietly. 8) Health Health is the most important thing. Even if you are sick with a cold, you need to have healthy feelings. It's important not to be noticed with wrong feelings by other people. You should display healthy feelings. Expression is necessary. Do you understand? Even if you have a cold, you must always keep a healthy expression. If women have that kind of expression, men feel comforted. When the husband looks worried, the wife should comfort him. Women need healthy expressions.
