Each time two-year-old Edwin arrives at his grandparents’ house, he is directed to the altar, where he rings the bell once, carefully replaces the bell stick, and then enthusiastically chants namu-myoho-renge-kyo three times along with his father and grandfather.
We’ve discovered that Edwin is willing to set quietly during the traditional Sunday services at the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church. He only gets a little antsy after the chanting is over and the priest is giving his talk.For Kaji Kito services, Edwin and his father and mother attend. He’s been receiving Rev. Kenjo Igarashi’s purfication blessing since he was one month old.
