Additional quotes by Konkō Daijin

Practicing faith is not especially difficult. When you get up in the morning, give thanks and pray for a good day, as if you are talking to your parents. When you go out, inform Kami that you are leaving.
And when you return home, give thanks for returning home safely. Also, before going to sleep, give thanks for that day. This is practicing faith.
