Hi Everyone! Happy New Year and thanks for the birthday wishes Bud! Weird, you are a Brother From Another Mother and you continue to amaze me! Never give up and never give in! We are all shining Buddha's!
Thanks for hoping for me to drop in. Gohonzon (my mind while chanting Daimoku to the Object of Devotion) told me to check in and reconnect. You guys know what I have been doing each week for these years I have been gone. That activity to spread the Law is also now reaching people around the globe.
It is so unbelievable! THE REWARDS IN MY LIFE ARE BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION! TRULY THIS GREAT CLUSTER OF BLESSINGS HAS COME TO ME UNSOUGHT! And everyone here are in large part, "responsible/cannot be separated from/caused me to become". whom it is that is living in my body and living the wonderful life that has already been bestowed upon me.
I can never repay my debt of gratitude to you all and I bow in deepest and most sincere obeisance! The wife says "hi!" and the six kids are gorgeous and good humans. My mom passed away this past August with all of us around her bed-side. We will Vacation in Northern Ca. next year and we should all plan on getting together for a reunion!

Weird, I bow in humble obeisance to your correct expression of faith! I was checking out these last ten pages and saw your compassionate exchange and I was honored to see how much you clearly and correctly understand. You are a wonderful teacher and everyone here is so lucky to have you share and share and share. I know your efforts do not go unnoticed by the Universe. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to you Buddha Brother!

And Chris and Easy, and SoCal, and Tricky Tricky and Forrest and BOG. I do chant for all of you with a deep desire for your protection and prosperity. Stay safe and stay well. Forrest, challenge the Gohonzon in your life to emerge and show the actual proof of the improvement of your condition. You can do it. You can make it better. Like Easy and all of us Brothers and Sisters we all pray for you health to improve. Let's just continue to strive to show actual proof.

-- Words of the Week --
Each and every one of us
is a Boddhisattva of the Earth.
We are the wise who demonstrate
the Buddhist principle
“faith equals daily life.”
We are the heroes who prove
“Buddhism manifests itself in society.”
We are the sun dedicating ourselves to
“kosen-rufu promoting peace.”
Let’s boldly play out
dramas of victory with these
inseparable realities!

“Now when Nichiren chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, he is enabling all living beings to attain Buddhahood in the ten thousand years of the Latter Day of the Law.” (OTT page 41)
“Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, states: ‘The wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo’ (WND-1, 842). When we align our lives with the Mystic Law, there is absolutely no difficulty or obstacles that we cannot overcome. With this great conviction, let’s continue to chant, challenge ourselves and press forwards victoriously.”

All of my kids look to be well - although I am still unable to be with them - but that could all change over the next few days, when we will get the good, or indeed bad news concerning the wifes settlement visa application result - so on tenterhooks and probably need to chant or pray -

*look me up - if you are in town
