-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Summer is one of the 
very best seasons for 
passing our faith and practice on to the next generation.
Let's try our best
to do gongyo and chant 
with our children.
At the same time
let's share with them 
the family's history 
of kosen-rufu 
and share the conviction 
we have for our faith and practice. 
Let's start from the very original point of our own family!
