"Thanks Katie for reminding me not to cast away the Lotus Sutra by not rebuking those who slander it. This is the fastest way in which we can transform the heaviest Karma. What a great opportunity we have been given. The faint hearted who don't raise their voice will miss out on this once in a lifetime golden opportunity for their lack of courage.
Hope the Lotus Sutra helps everyone eventually if not in this life but future lives see more clearly for who and what we are
I think we all deserve First class tickets back to the higher worlds (from which we previously came and no doubt fall back again) after all the bullshit that we have had to wipe from our eyes and take to task those bullshit artist NST priests and SGI leaders who have been projecting their nonsense into vunerable peoples lives as we have been in the past who were living in a Fools Paradise before, during the (Timeline 1980s to 1990) and after and that have finally seen through the cheat and deceit.
I still have a way to go though but I believe I'm finally on the right track and not barking up the wrong tree."
yep............katie has been a help to me also.
ReplyDeleteglad you feel the same noel. cheers all.
I am indebted to you both-- beyond how you have specifically *opened my eyes* in the short time I have been here,on Eagle Peak, I am grateful for the precious jewels you have left in the archives. [hint] That's where I found what I needed to stay the course in Mark's "Remedial Nichiren Buddhist -Boot Camp" .
ReplyDeleteCheers :-)
~Katie
buddhahood is found in ones heart and is expressed through ones gratitude. this may not be nichirens exact words, but i am pretty sure it is his exact meaning. how fortunate are we to follow such a man and to meet on eagle peak? would not have missed a minute.
ReplyDeletethanks again mark.
You are all praising yourselves like a bunch of monkeys chanting to a Xerox Nichikan gohonzon.
ReplyDeleteLike a group of self-help gurus, trying to convince yourselves that you are following the mandate of the Daishonin when you really are just worshipping your own egos rooted in your hatred against your expulsion from SGI.
Frankly, I think you all should go back to Soka Gakkai and enjoy the rest of your deluded years under the bosom of President Daisaku Ikeda. He has brought you much misery and you all should be grateful if he were to take you back. Of course you can never enter the temples again, much less to see the Dai Gohonzon but it's alright. Time and time again, we prove with vindication that you so called independents and nothing but filth to the pages of the Lotus Sutra. But surely even the universe has a purpose for your advent, after all—you represent the perfect reasons why Nichiren Shoshu orthodox teachings are stronger than ever and that SGI memberships are bleeding in numbers. In short, you are nothing but "casualty" this great temple split. Sad and regrettably pathetic.
jealous?
DeleteAnd Greg, before you waste another bible testimony on sappy Nichiren or Shakyamuni lecture I have no wish of reading or even considering, I would like to remind you that you are forever banned from Taisekiji, from the Nichiren Shoshu temples, especially from the audiences to the Dai Gohonzon. I strongly suggest before you die of misery, you make one final appreciation for SGI for introducing this faith to you and beg their forgiveness for having abandoned the Ikeda Vision. Only then you will find the satisfaction you have been longing for—and a dose of heroin as well.
ReplyDeletefor now i will excuse your ridiculous words and behavior. however, i don't think the buddha and nichiren will be able to. in case you have forgotten or never knew, renge is a law that says that there will be consequences for bad causes you make.
Deletedirham, you seem to be able to see how absurd the sgi is, but you are fooled terribly by the equally dangerous and absurd nichiren shoshit. is it because you as well as the gakkai chanted a truncated daimoku? me thinks so.
DeleteDirham,
DeleteAre you still using a Basilisk to guard your fake Dai-No-Honzon?
BTW, You give Ikeda undue credit for his vision,nothing original about it-- just his way of flattering your High Priests,-- imitating their lucrative practice of forgery, fabrication and pompous claims to *secret transmissions* lol
~Katie
another mention of sensei ikeda by dirham. so far a least 20 mentions. actually, more mentions that his phony dai-nohonzon. rather strange.
DeleteBecause Ikeda took $$ in the form of *members* from NST ?
DeleteBecause NST didn't have any mainstream engaged Buddhism to call, kosen -rufu- ? When Ikeda was expelled, he took *his bat and ball* with him!! And there went the image that *it's cool to chant* and *world peace is around the corner* percs SGI had provided for the rather lackluster Temple recluses.
I sense ambivalence from Dirham--. I think his periodic explosions here are the direct result of the same oppressive atmosphere in NST with regard to *taboo* topics around the fundamental similarities between SGI and NST-- and the irreconcilable grief that the two could part ways...
Seek refuge in the Lotus Sutra, Dirham!! Then, perhaps you can show proper respect for the True followers of Nichiren-- or at the very least, desist in your slander of them!!
~Katie
drugged is a good word. like coming out of a deep sleep.
Deleteneither awake or asleep, somewhere in-between.
A sobering realization, this ha been : Nichiren's use of the word, poison was literal, not metaphor. We are witnessing the *deeply penetrating* effects produced by 25 years of senseless/shoshit *poisoning*.
DeleteI am off to take the Good Medicine Shakyamuni Buddha left for us ~
~Katie
all true !
Deletedirham, why are you so ugly and angry? your rants make no sense and you cannot back up what you say with the teachings of the buddha or his emissary for the latter age, nichiren. maybe you should take your own advice and return to sensei and the nichiren shoshu of america(nsa/sgi). nobody here wants to do that, what is wrong with you? both the sgi"s teachings as well as the shoshits teachings are incorrect and lightyears away from what the buddha and nichiren taught. it's very easy to see. take your head out of your priests ass and get some accurate translations of gosho's and even you will /might, repeat, might be able to understand. deluded means that what you see, read , and hear is distorted and not the truth. nichiren teaches that due to slander of the law, only a deeper delusion will be achieved.
ReplyDeletedirham, in case you are still confused........this is a nichiren lotus sutra buddhism site. once again i say, lets talk real buddhism. are you not capable? me thinks so.
the shoshit in this country hasn't grown in 20 years. even through you do not know the teachings, what you support(nst) is a ticket to the avichi hotel. kisses.
dirham, after you pay your priest $50.00 to bless your beads, bring them over here for a little debate. thanks.
