Florida's District Meeting was a big success last weekend. Members from all over Florida (largest state in Myosenji's geographic region) came together for guidance with Chief Priest Rev Sakabe, for inspiring member experiences and for community and for our newest members to receive Gojukai (Acceptance of the Precept Ceremony) to become Nichiren Shoshu members. Thank you to all our members who helped organize and plan the meeting.

You have a Buddha nature. It has been there the whole time, buried under cultural norms and teachings that told you to look up and wait instead of looking in and acting. When something painful happens, Americans ask what they did to deserve it. Behind that thinking is an imaginary courtroom, an imaginary judge weighing our behavior and handing down rewards and punishments. Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism has no such courtroom. There is no punishment, because there is no judge. There is cause and effect. Every thought, word, and action plants a cause, and effects appear when conditions ripen. Your suffering is not a sentence handed to you. It is a result from seeds you planted.

This is the best news you will ever hear. If hardship is an effect, you are free right now to make a new cause. Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism calls this hendoku iyaku, turning poison into medicine. Where the illness or the loss becomes the very thing that deepens your life in a way ease never could. Stop asking what you did to deserve this. Ask what cause you will make now.

“The six sense organs form the window that allows information to enter one’s body; if this window is clouded, the correct information cannot be taken in. However, if your six sense organs are pure and not clouded, one can correctly recognize and evaluate external phenomena. From this, the correct way of thinking and action are born (excerpted from The Doctrines and Practice of Nichiren Shoshu, p.252).”
