I wonder what kind of karma the princess of Lay Priest Ishikawa Hyōe has carried from her past lives. I understand that she chanted “Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō” at the last moment of her life. This is as miraculous as a one-eyed turtle finding a piece of wood with a hole floating in the ocean and climbing into the hole or dropping a line of thread from heaven to thread the eye of a needle stuck in the ground.
