"None of you who declare yourselves to be my disciples should ever give way to cowardice. Neither should you allow concern for your parents, wife, or children to hold you back, or be worried about your property. Since countless kalpas in the past you have thrown away your life more times than the number of dust particles of the land for the sake of your parents, your children, or your lands. But not once have you given up your life for the Lotus Sutra. You may have tried to practice its teachings to some extent, but whenever you were persecuted, you backslid and ceased to live by the sutra. That is like boiling water only to pour it into cold water, or like trying to strike fire but giving up halfway. Each and every one of you should be certain deep in your heart that sacrificing your life for the Lotus Sutra is like exchanging rocks for gold or dung for rice." - Nichiren speaks.
Hi. I'm still here with rather high vitality but have been rather busy with personal things, having just completed a home hemodialysis course, part time work, and shakabuku.

ReplyDeleteGood!
ReplyDeleteHow does it help kosen rufu to slander the SGI?
ReplyDeleteI guess to you, the truth doesn't matter. Kosen Rufu is based on the truth of the Lotus Sutra, not the warped falsehood of Sensei Daisaku Ikeda.
