Morning chanting experience 547 times: The encounter was sudden! I was overwhelmed with joy at seeing someone healthy after a long time.

I truly felt that this is how Soka comrades should be.

Actually, I go to a nearby clinic once a month to get blood pressure medicine, but I was able to meet a trustworthy leader who has been very helpful to me for the first time in a long time. We were both wearing masks so it was difficult to tell who it was, but when I called out "00-san," he turned to me, so I told him "I'm Shima," and he said, "Oh! You're very knowledgeable," and we sat next to each other and talked about our recent situations. It was a short time, but I was really glad to hear that he was doing well and that he was visiting us out of concern for us. Even though time has passed and the area is different, he still visits homes with the same feelings. I truly felt that this is what a true Soka comrade should be like.
