Experienced chanting the daimoku 10,000 times, 505 times: I visited a home this morning, and was moved by the wonderful testament to the 98-year-old's faith, who told me, "Everything has been protected by the Gohonzon, and I can do things for myself."

I want to buy a new Buddhist altar for my 98-year-old mother: A beautiful story of two sisters

Yesterday, a sister who I used to be the district manager of came to our store to talk about buying a new Buddhist altar for her 98-year-old mother. We talked about the principal image, Buddhist altars, and repairing the altar that she currently owns, focusing on three key points.

When purchasing a new Buddhist altar, you will need to dispose of the old one. Since you have to consider your budget, you will naturally be wondering, "How much will it cost?"

The disposal of the Buddhist altar also involves the collection, packaging, transporting to our Buddhist altar processing workshop, and incineration in a special incinerator. The disposal cost must be calculated together with the purchase of a new Buddhist altar. While I was thinking about the size and current condition of the altar to be disposed of, I recalled my memories of my time as a district chief during my early morning devotions and chanting the daimoku, and I remembered my 98-year-old mother.

This morning, I visited her mother's home for the first time in a long while. I was moved by her wonderful account of her faith at the age of 98: "I have been protected by the Gohonzon in everything I do, and I can do things on my own."
