It is always a pleasure to attend Myoshoji services with Ryusho Jeffus Shonin. In fact a large portion of the discussion after the service focused on the value of having trained priests to act as the “good friends” who are necessary to the practice of the Lotus Sutra.

A recording was made of the discussion following the service and if I can get a copy and edit it, I’ll put some of it here. Until then, I’ll just say that I’m very happy to have met so many good friends this year.
