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.
