Especially in this pandemic time, we are not able to meet whomever we want. Before this new normal, it was so easy to meet our loved ones and friends. We could shake hands, hug or eat and drink with laughter. Those were just ordinary things and we never thought we would lose them — we were blind to their preciousness.

When we reflect on this pandemic and lockdown period in the future, we might find something precious during this time, too. Even this difficult time is unrepeatable and a precious moment of our life. In both good times and difficult times, we are always together with Amida Buddha’s Compassion.
