This Gohonzon also is found only in the two characters for faith. This is what
the sutra means when it states that one can "gain entrance through faith alone."

The Gohonzon encompasses the entire universe. Therefore, we who believe in and
chant daimoku to the Gohonzon can live out lives with the greatest serenity and
composure. Please be confident that through faith in the Mystic Law we can
definitely lead a wonderful and unsurpassed existence.

The present age has developed exactly as the Buddha predicted it would, and
Nichiren may be the person of wisdom who the Buddha described. Though some
people wish to help me, either their determination is weak, or, though firmly
resolved, they are unable to act on their intentions. Thus, you are one of the
very few whose actions match their will. You surpass others in your resolve, and
it is because of your devoted support that I have been able to survive.

Today is a great day to be alive! Let's make the best possible day by doing our best no matter what transpires and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as if our daimoku could light up a wet piece of driftwood!

If you need me to join you in prayer please let me know because I'm fully committed to helping as many people as possible become and sustain happiness in this lifetime. This thread possesses all the necessary language to help us embrace this brilliantly positive reality. My life has blossomed like the lotus flower and now I wish to seed the world with the appreciation and love I have for humanity and each other.

The human revolution I've started as a result of this thread is mind numbing! Where I was before I started chanting and where I am today is truly amazing!

Thank you all for helping me get to this point everyday! We've done it together on this thread and I'm doing it everyday everywhere I go!

Thank you so much!

From President Ikeda's message to October 50th commemorative meetings, September 29,2010.

Nichiren Daishonin states, “Those who become Nichiren’s disciples and lay
believers should realize the profound karmic relationship they share with him and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does” (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p.994). When we stand up with the profound awareness that we are deeply connected with the Daishonin—that we are none other than the Bodhisattvas of the Earth—we will never fail to bring forth tremendous potential and tap great wisdom. The Buddhist gods will definitely protect us.

Make every possible effort for the sake of your next life. What is most
important is that, by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo alone, you can attain
Buddhahood. It will no doubt depend on the strength of your faith. To have faith
is the basis of Buddhism.

True joy is to be found in working for kosen-rufu, in practicing and taking
action for the happiness of oneself and others. The greatest joy in life is to
be found in SGI activities. Our activities for kosen-rufu become memories that
shine ever more brilliantly in our lives as time goes by.

A Family that chants together.....

A Family that chants together.....

....including Lovie our cat, had infected teeth pulled this week. Ann and I had been living with some impacted molars for quite awhile. Lovie had a broken K9 tooth at the gum that was black. All three of us 'this week' had them removed. What a shuffle of all the daily routines to get us all infection free.

I chanted all the way. I still have a swollen lymph node that needs to clear up, but that's with five weeks of bad infection. I didn't know that an abscessed tooth in a molar can send infection to the brain or a real swollen lymph node in the neck can stop your breathing!

So we "all" are feeling better. Yes, there is life after the dentist!

I chant for you all everyday, that way, I know I am safe in this beautiful strange world.

Love you all,

Desi!

I always feel that going to the dentist is cruel and unusual punishment. I am glad things are working out for you and Ann and your feline.

Daimoku of the Chanting Growers is very strong and united.
