VERY important.....and much appreciated! Thank you so much SoCal for posting that!
PTD spent a great deal of time trying to get me to come to that very understanding. I remain humbled and most grateful for all the encouragement and 'hand holding' he bestowed upon me.
Your welcome DG. Doesn't matter how long you have practiced this Buddhism it is always a learning experience; an awakening everyday. That is the great benefit of chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo to the Gohonzon.
PTD is pretty good at doing that and I am most grateful for all the encouragement I have recv'd over the years from him also. I don't know where my life would be without the connection we have had over these many years.
Thanks T!!!
