Every day at Shogyoji the Head Priest leads a service to the Buddha. Following the service a meeting is held where individuals reflect upon themselves through listening deeply to the words of others. The Dharma Words section is a compilation of short passages written by Venerable Chimyo Takehara, the Head Priest of Shogyoji, which reflect such encounters.
Faith meetings ever deepen the sense of encounter between individuals. When asked to make a comment at a meeting, the words spoken by an individual not only have personal significance but often touch upon an experience that is universal to each of us in our daily lives. The Fragrant Light section is a collection of these words.
