LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
I was very pleased to see your new Buddhist magazine. In every word one sees the truth; in every sentence is true reality. Buddhism will expand universally from this.
Particularly impressive was the "Demon–Cutting Sword", a powerful weapon for subduing demons. I was extremely happy with this article and am sure that it will cause the heads of many demons to roll to earth, making red rivers of demon blood.
All true Buddhist disciples will applaud and praise this magazine.
Yours in Dharma,
Pearl Wang
Disciple of the Triple Jewel (Hong Kong)
