Shin\u2019ichi had noticed a man in his mid-50s in a corner of the training centre, steaming some sweet buns as a treat for the training session participants. It was Motoyoshi. Shin\u2019ichi addressed him: \u201cThank you for your efforts. I really appreciate them. Where are you from?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust down the hill,\u201d answered the man, though it turned out to be a 40-minute drive by car.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to stop by your home and express my appreciation in person.\u201d<\/p>\n
Motoyoshi\u2019s face lit up with joy: \u201cOf course! I\u2019m looking forward to it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Shin\u2019ichi suggested: \u201cI first began practicing this Buddhism on August 24, so how about that day?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOn such an important day?\u201d replied Motoyoshi. Motoyoshi\u2019s wife Kazumi, who was standing nearby, said: \u201cOur neighbours in the area all want to see you so badly, they\u2019re praying very intensely. Please meet with them, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right,\u201d said Shin\u2019ichi. \u201cI\u2019ll stop by your house, then meet with the others, and we\u2019ll do gongyo together. Your wish is my command.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
