"The meaning of this passage is that the Buddhas of the ten directions will all assemble in throngs and fill in the lands to the east, west, north, and south, in the eight directions, the major world system, and all the four hundred ten thousand million nayutas of lands. They will be seated side by side like the stars in the heavens, or the rows of rice and hemp plants on the earth, and will guard and protect the votaries of the Lotus Sutra just as the various ministers and subjects guard and protect the heir of a great ruler.
To be guarded by the four heavenly kings and their retainers is a great honor. But with the protection of all the four heavenly kings, all the stars and constellations, all the deities of the sun and moon, all the Shakras and Brahmās, one can be completely confident. Moreover, all the persons of the two vehicles, all the bodhisattvas, Bodhisattva Maitreya in the inner court of the Tushita heaven, Bodhisattva Earth Repository on Mount Kharadīya, Bodhisattva Perceiver of the World’s Sounds on Mount Potalaka, and Bodhisattva Manjushrī on Mount Clear and Cool, each together with all their followers, will guard and protect the votaries of the Lotus Sutra, so one may indeed rest assured. And furthermore, Shakyamuni, Many Treasures, and the Buddhas of the ten directions will come of their own accord and watch over one through all the hours of the day and night, which is an honor beyond the power of words to express."

ReplyDeleteyeah mark, repost what you wrote about the last days with FWP and why they threw you/us off. its a good story(history), also i was trying to post the picture of you and i in three rivers(FB page) unless you would rather not. either way is fine. cheers.
ReplyDeleteI have been checking out the Fraught With Peril site-- disappointed in the archives. I guessed that the interesting and provocative content had been removed. I am working on my *up yours, SGI* manifesto- could use some *more* inspiration :-)
ReplyDeleteWould be great if you could post your photos, too-- just saying, from my perspective, it is the next best thing to meeting you guys in person.
