From her memorial service: "..For one who summons up one's faith and chants Nam myoho renge kyo with the profound insight that now is the last moment of one's life, the sutra proclaims: 'When the lives of these persons come to an end, they will be received into the hands of a thousand Buddhas, who will free them from falling into the evil paths of existence.'
How can we possibly hold back our tears at the inexpressible joy of knowing that not just one or two, not just one hundred or two hundred, but as a thousand Buddhas will come to greet us with open arms!"
