Experienced chanting the daimoku 10,000 times, 517 times: Home visit to a middle-aged family, let's do devotion together as a family from now on!

See your face and ask about your health

Yesterday morning I started by visiting a family from the local Young Men's Group. The family lived with their elderly parents and their son, who is also part of the Young Men's Group. I had heard that the father had recently become significantly weaker, so I decided to talk to the family and offer encouragement, focusing mainly on faith. I confirmed the schedule in advance and chanted the daimoku. I asked about their recent health condition. "My classmate passed away, I feel lonely! I've lost my strength" - the kind of things I always hear.

Her eyes were dull and her thighs were thin.

At first glance, I thought his thighs looked thin, so I went to the chair, knelt down, grabbed his thighs with both arms, and asked him and his family about his daily activities, such as, "You've gotten so thin. Maybe you haven't been moving?" I think it's thanks to your faith that you've been able to get this far in life without any serious illnesses! I always look forward to coming to your house, encouraged by your father's smile and positive energy. Being positive encourages people! If you stop moving, you'll just stop moving, so make sure you get up on time in the morning and chant your daimoku.

The important thing is morning devotion and chanting

Yes, let's start the service now (it was 12:30 at this point). The son said, "Please!" and moved to the Buddhist altar and arranged the chairs for the parents. The father was almost out of voice. The mother was also out of voice. The family was finally ready with the chanting of the daimoku, and at the end, we called out each person's name and prayed out loud for a healthy and happy life, a life of absolute victory based on faith! After that, we all chanted the daimoku three times, and when we turned around, everyone's faces were flushed, and when I held out my hand, each person shook my hand, and I shook it back with a little force, filled with determination. The whole family was relieved.
