“Letter to Nakaoki nyudo”
(“Nakaoki nyudo-goshosoku”)
Through the benefits of that stupa, one’s deceased parents, too, illuminate the pure land, just like the sun and moon in the heavens. A filial individual [who erects a stupa], his wife, and their children will extend their lifespan to 120 years in this lifetime, and after death, they all will be together with their deceased parents in the pure land of Eagle Peak. When the water is clear, the moon will be reflected on its surface. When a drum is beaten, the sound will resonate. You should consider the benefit of a stupa in this way. When you erect stupas in the future, they should bear the Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra. (Gosho, p. 1434)
