Sensei Replied
Sensei replied my letter to him on sent on the 16 March 2007. An irrepressible joy welled from within me. I must not let my mentor down.
A few quotes from one of my favorite Gosho, the Letter to Kyo’o
A few quotes from one of my favorite Gosho, the Letter to Kyo’o
‘The lion, king of beasts, is said to advance three steps, then gather himself to spring, unleashing the same power whether he traps a tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal. In inscribing this Gohonzon for her protection, Nichiren is equal to the lion king. This is what the sutra means by "the power of an attacking lion." Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?’
‘A sword will be useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then he will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff. I, Nichiren, have inscribed my life in sumi, so believe in the Gohonzon with your whole heart.’

The SD HEART 5k Homevisitation campaign kicked off on 13 March.
The YMD LEAP propagation campaign kicked off on 16 March.
Sent my determination for this year to Sensei today. The battle begins now. I must score a victory in my life this year no matter what. It will be really busy for the next few months. But I will muster tremendous energy to meet all challenges.
There is no problem bigger than the power of the Gohonzon!

Memorable night indeed.
Sleep needed... but dreaming well.

“Bodhisattva Never Disparaging of old said that all people have the Buddha nature and that, if they embrace the Lotus Sutra, they will never fail to attain Buddhahood. He further stated that to slight a person is to slight the Buddha himself. Thus, his price was to revere all people. He revered even those who did not embrace the Lotus Sutra because they too had the Buddha nature and might someday believe in the sutra.”
To believe in the Lotus Sutra is to develop an utmost respect for the dignity of humanity. Today, I would be appointed as a Chapter Leader. I most revitalize myself once again to meet this new challenge. Bodhisattva Never Disparaging will be my starting point. I do not know what I will do or what I can accomplished. But I am here as a representative of my mentor’s disciple.
