Experience of chanting the daimoku 10,000 times in the morning 567 times: Home visits are the key to kosen-rufu in the community. Those who make home visits are the Bodhisattvas of the Earth who are practicing as messengers of the Buddha.

Home visits are the foundation of kosen-rufu
When I visit someone's home, I have my own schedule, but I think the most important thing is to consider the other person's convenience. If I act only based on my own convenience, I often feel that I cannot meet the other person, I disturb them when they are busy, or the timing is off. When I visit someone, I must think of their convenience first, but I think the most important thing is to chant daimoku with them in mind.
Visiting Homes Shows Mercy
Also, if you decide to have three people today, this is also for your own convenience, but what would you think if you had a long conversation with one person? You might not be able to listen carefully to the person in front of you, thinking about the time with the next person, and the person after that. Even if the plan is for three people, I think the other person will be sensitive to your schedule.
Home visits are an expression of compassion, because we want each person to be happy through their faith.
If you are willing to make home visits, you are the one who is advancing kosen-rufu
You are a wonderful person who wants to make home visits, and I am convinced that you, who want to make home visits, are the ones who are advancing kosen-rufu. The basis of home visits is to chant the daimoku, cherish the person in front of you, and awaken their vitality with the awareness that you are an emissary of the Buddha. I would like to become a comrade who aims to live a life based on the daimoku of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo together with you. I would like to approach this with the spirit of "removing suffering and giving happiness."
