Before Covid-19 reshaped the world, Ven. Kenjo Igarashi of the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church had planned a pilgrimage to Mt. Minobu and some other sites important in Nichiren Shu Buddhism. I was very excited about the opportunity and devastated when the pandemic put an end the plans.

I only hope that when I finally have the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Mt. Minobu I have an experience as eye-opening as the experience Rev. Ryuei McCormick describes in his May 16 post, Pilgrimage to Mt. Minobu.
