One devoted Hongwanji member stayed alone after her husband passed away. Whenever people asked her, “You do feel loneliness, do you not?” She replied, “I never feel loneliness because Amida Buddha is always with me.”

Due to COVID-19, we all must stay home. At times you may feel loneliness. When you do, please remember that Amida Buddha is always with us. No matter what happens in our lives, the Buddha never abandons us.

Let us walk with the Buddha in our lives.

Dharmagrams are short messages by Hawaii Betsuin ministers. The series was initiated during the coronavirus outbreak of 2020 as one way to continue sharing the Dharma during the stay-at-home period.
