"201. 世間には、水の行、火の行などがあり、いろいろの物断ちをする人もあるが、そのような行はしなくてもよい。巡礼のように白い着物を着てあちらこちらを巡り歩く暇に、毎日の家業を信心の行と心得て勤め、おかげを受けるがよい。"
— Konko Daijin

In this world, there are austerities of fire and water, and people who practice various taboos. You need not do such austerities. Instead of donning a white robe and going on a pilgrimage, think of your everyday work as practicing religious austerities. Then receive divine blessings. — (II Fukushima, Gihe'e 8:2)
