... and thank you for honoring Manjushri ...
... by using him as a means to get closer to Jesus ...
... this is especially beautiful to me... oh, but you know, you are really worthy
... of course, but i am grateful that you are comfortable enough to leverage your relationship with Manjushri in order to increase your comfort enough to be able to relate to Christ better ... ...
... thanks again!~ jim
