Sunday – Cloudy
Up at 10:00. K. visited, a weak but truly good-natured young man. Next, Y. came over. The three of us went out for breakfast, soaking up the sun along the way. Went to the baths in high spirits.
After gongyo, the tree of us waited for S. at Omori Station. Arrived at Kankiryo temple at 2:30. Sutra recitation and sermon until 5:00.
Together with M., I enshrined the Gohonzon for S. Words cannot express the great joy of enshrining the Gohonzon for even one new member. It gives me the greatest sense of happiness.
Visited N.’s at 9:30.
A passage from The Supremacy of the Law reads:
“No matter whom you may marry, if he is an enemy of the Lotus Sutra you must not follow him. Strengthen your resolve more than ever. Ice is made of water, it is colder than water. Blue dye come from indigo, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the color is better than that of the indigo plant.”
-(WND, pg 615)
Neighbors accuse us of being half mad. They do not understand, however, that when viewed from the fundamental standard of the universe, those who criticize are themselves mad. This is the true aspect of our society – everything is completely backward. What can I say to them/
Home at 12:00.
