Become a youth reinosha

I need to focus on why I am trying to do this. I did not elevate at the last hon eza, and I think it was because I was looking at spiritual elevation too much as a goal, something I need to achieve (as you can see, by the fact that this is the #1 goal on my list), rather than truly wanting to help others through elevation. I need to reflect and see how I can change my thinking and my heart to be more in line with Sooya-sama’s, Ryodoji-sama’s and the Buddha’s, and how to really be practicing for the sake of others, not for myself.

I don’t know how to do this. I’ve been pondering how to do this since I failed to elevate at the last eza.

Next Daijo Hon Eza in Seattle is in September. I will work hard!

I had my first eza sitting yesterday. I am very happy for all the people who elevated!

I did not elevate. But that’s okay, it just means I will need to put in more effort to elevate next time!
