GOSHO

A person who celebrates this day will gain virtue and be loved by all, just as the moon becomes full gradually, moving from West to East and the sun shines more brightly travelling from East to West. First of all, as to the question of where exactly hell and the Buddha exist, one sutra states that hell exists underground and another sutra says that the Buddha is in the West. However, closer examination revels that both exist in our five foot body. The reason I think so is that hell is in the heart of a man who inwardly despises his father and disregards his mother, just like the lotus seed which contains both flower and fruit at the same time. In the same way the Buddha dwells in our hearts.
