  2. You are like Nichiren. Hard life. Keep questioning. The gangster on Medicaid with 250,000, gets moved to the top of the kidney transplant list. I know a pretty nice guy . He was helped, by some religious people, to get a lung transplant, at 65. Then there was sick Cheney, the war criminal who got a heart transplant, in spite of not being eligible and being a murderous monster. I wish, I could help you doc.
    I knew a hardened felon and snitch, who was in a witness protection program. A psychopath. Still does his dirty deeds. A thief . Got a liver transplant. He has been on medicaid for 20 years.
    Many people have gotten cancer in the USA, that dad no insurance because of preexsting conditions. Just left to die.
    Medicare is a terrible joke. The government has killed many in america, with nuclear and chemical pollution. The Japanese are cutting off all the people, moved out of the exclusion zone. All medical, all housing, all everything. Unbounded, Cruel sociopaths and psychopaths.

  5. a parrot repeating her/himself a dozen times. You have warned the people to stay away from the blog. Still, thanks to the blog more than several dozen people have either begun chanting or continue to chant despite the sour taste in their mouths fromn the extablished sects. Hindering the Transmission of the Law will gain you neither merit nor virtue despite your protestations.

  6. the most refreshing aspect of this practice - chanting Namu Myoho renge kyo, is freedom from the proclamations of “ preachers”; realizing nobody is “ above the Law”— literally, no one !

  7. so many claiming to know what they cannot possibly know. people who come to this blog are generally turned off by the animosity and brashness of the host, who just claims the more he is disliked, the more like nichiren he is. LOL! everyone I introduced to this practice developed a fondness along with reverence for nichiren.

  8. Maybe your nasty, harsh attitude toward other believers is what hinders the "transmission" of the Law? I believe most people are seeking solutions, not more enemies to "fight".

  9. May I suggest you go to the Nichiren Writings search engine and "enemies". Then get back to me. You are proof that if one practices correctly, naturally one garners enemies. The worst enemies are the delusions of the demon Mara's army. The way to defeat them is the forceful practices in Mappo:

    When one must face enemies, one needs a sword, a stick, or a bow and arrows. When one has no enemies, however, such weapons are of no use at all. In this age, the provisional teachings have turned into enemies of the true teaching. When the time is right to propagate the teaching of the one vehicle, the provisional teachings become enemies. When they are a source of confusion, they must be thoroughly refuted from the standpoint of the true teaching. Of the two types of practice, this is shakubuku, the practice of the Lotus Sutra. With good reason T’ien-t’ai stated, “The Lotus Sutra is the teaching of shakubuku, the refutation of the provisional doctrines.”

    Certainly I may be indelicate in my refutation of the provisional doctrines and their proponents but certainly I am not carrying an Ak47, a stick, or an arrow. Sometimes, when speaking to those in power a few nasty words are in order, for example, the CEO of TEPCO, a top SGI leader comes to mind.

  10. Nasty/ abusive words degrade the person using them. Your tactics are popular with America’s elected public servants who are destroying our democracy, the rule of law and inciting violence in our nation.
    May I suggest you abandon your disinformation campaign? Internet searches for Nichiren’s teachings —“ key words” .? “ Nichiren.s writings search engine “? Seriously, Mark, it is due to the infinite power of Myoho Renge Kyo, that one can transform evil without becoming party to it.

  11. From MSN
    " Trump recently put this knee-jerk reaction on display yet again when he went after three of his favorite targets: The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley. Woodward and Costa wrote about him in their book "Peril" and reported in that book that Milley called his counterpart in the People's Republic of China to assure him there was no cause for alarm following the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol. (Milley has said the calls were "routine.")
    In a statement attacking the three men, Trump used words including "con man," "lightweight lapdog assistant," "craggy smug face" and "treason."
    When we encounter name-calling and bullying by a 7-year-old in the schoolyard, we tend to excuse it as the behavior of an underdeveloped mind. When we experience it from a 75-year-old man who was president of the United States - to paraphrase the late Stephen Sondheim - it's time to "Send in the Therapists."

  12. he Benevolent Kings Sutra says, “Once the sages have departed, then the seven disasters are certain to arise.” The Sovereign Kings Sutra states, “Because evil people are respected and favored and good people are subjected to punishment, marauders will appear p.777from other regions, and the people of the country will meet with death and disorder.” If these pronouncements of the Buddha are true, then evil men certainly exist in our country, and the ruler favors and respects such men while treating good men with enmity."

    Similarly, the Nirvana Sutra says: “In that age there will be evil monks... These evil men will read and recite this sutra, but they will ignore and put aside the profound and vital principles that the Thus Come One has expounded in it.”

  13. when we experience name calling and bullying by a self professed buddhist, it's time to recall he promoted that former guy who still can't admit he lost the 2020 presidential election.
