Sunday

The treasure bestowed by a single wish-granting jewel equal those bestowed by two such jewels or by innumerable jewels. Likewise, each character in the Lotus Sutra is like a single wish-granting jewel, and the innumerable characters of the sutra are like innumerable jewels.

-Letter to the Sage Nichimyo (WND, pg 323)

Went to Mr. Toda’s house at 6:30 and listened to his lecture. He spoke on the ‘Oral Commentary on On the Enlightenment of Plants‘ and On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime.

I renewed my determination, seeing his passion to foster Soka Gakkai leaders for the next era.

Miss Kashiwabara and several others were present.

Treated to supper. Home at 10:30.
