Let's join this most important ceremony of the month to repay our debts of gratitude to the Three Treasures of true Buddhism; to accumulate benefits from listening to the true Law; and to renew our pledge to shakubuku others for kosen-rufu!

Gosho Quote for January 2021
The Bodies and Minds of Ordinary Beings

(Shujo shinshin gosho)

One who presented a simple meal of millet to the Pratyekabuddha became the Universal Brightness Buddha (Fumyo nyorai). One who offered a mud pie to the Buddha became the sovereign of Jambudvipa. Even if a person performs good deeds, if these deeds are offered to that which is not true, they may bring forth great evil, but they will never produce any good effect. However, even if a person is unintelligent in mind and presents only paltry offerings, if he extends them to an individual who embraces the truth, he will receive tremendous merits. How much more so would be the merit of those who make sincere offerings to the true Law?!

(Gosho, p. 1217)

Gosho Quote for November 2020

(Nichinyo gozen-gohenji)

This Gohonzon exists within faith alone, as expressed by the two characters, “belief” and “heart" (shin-jin). This is what is meant by “gaining entrance [to Buddhahood] through faith alone” [in the Lotus Sutra]. The disciples and followers of Nichiren, without any doubt, wholeheartedly believe in “honestly discarding expedient means” and “not accepting a single verse of the other sutras." Thus, they can enter the Treasure Tower of this Gohonzon. How encouraging, how heartening! By all means, exert your best efforts for the sake of your future lives. It is most important to chant only Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and attain Buddhahood. This will depend on the strength of your faith. The essence of true Buddhism is to have faith.
(Gosho, p. 1388)
