I would like to express my gratitude for the work of our many predecessors who have passed on the teachings of Nembutsu, the sutras, from the time when Buddha was alive about 2,500 years ago to me who is alive today. I am working very hard to make sure that I can do my best. ​This is an event that conveys the teachings of the Nembutsu, ``Sutra,'' from the distant past to the present, and from the present to the future.
