The moon appears in the west and sheds its light eastward, but the sun
rises in the east and casts its rays to the west. The same is true of
Buddhism. It spread from west to east in the Former and Middle Days of
the Law, but will travel from east to west in the Latter Day.

"The Daishonin urges us to earnestly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, even
just once or twice, stressing that if we do so we will definitely
attain enlightenment. Now some might immediately think: "All right!
I'll just put faith aside and take it easy, then embrace faith
seriously a year before I die." But the Daishonin's words in this
instance are meant to spur his followers to devote greater efforts to
their Buddhist practice, emphasizing the beneficial power of chanting
even a single daimoku. The correct way to read the Gosho is to always
interpret the Daishonin's words from the standpoint of strengthening
our faith."

"The Lotus Sutra teaches of the great hidden treasure of the heart, as
vast as the universe itself, which dispels any feelings of
powerlessness. It teaches a dynamic way of living in which we breathe
the immense life of the universe itself. It teaches the true great
adventure of self-reformation. …
It offers unsurpassed lessons on psychology, the workings of the
human heart, lessons on life, lessons on happiness and lessons on
peace. It maps out the basic rules for good health. It awakens us to
the universal truth that a change in our heart, or attitude, can
transform every*thing. It is neither the parched desert of
individualism nor the prison of totalitarianism; it has the power to
manifest a pure land of compassion, in which people complement and
encourage each other."

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! Thanks for 8000+ life to life connections and counting...
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! Thanks for 8000+ life to life connections and counting...
Brilliant exchange, yessir I feel it!
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! Still battling these demons fiercely and I completed one course today and Identified another severe issue which is I have been mixing in my anxiety with expecting to get perfect marks with my life and bugging on a bad trip as result. Still making causes to sustain my practice so that my life works it way back into cruising while revving deep into 6th gear again and I'll sustain that ride and truly surf the dharma wave on my highest life condition super focused stylee, the one I'm here to represent best I can as soon as possible.
My goodness it's refreshing to be one board and chopping down the tree of anger and hurt from the top down. I mean I'm working on my personal life to secure that and focus then better in supporting my SGI district (still leading my division in this district and looking to make it grow) and do this while attacking the root of my karma with these negative aspects! I'm just getting my ears cleaned and listening better to the signs I'm refusing to acknowledge with my better senses thanks to my connection with Gohonzon from the past (must be infinite, just like ours).
I'm gonna end up on top at the end of this week, trust me on that!
Like the roar of the Lion Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!

Thank you G. Those were sincere good wishes and may we return the same! If you have any questions about the Daishonin's Buddhism, please don't hesitate to ask.

Easy, wow, great post brother! I'm in tune with every word you are conveying. I feel like I'm struggling on more anger issues with another person at work. Basically dealing with, "a man is only as good as his word." I've been "hoping" that individuals are what I want them to be, not as they really are,.........and I always get let down. Then I look back and see all the signs that were telling me the real truth. So I've got to step it up a pace and live in real time, not Desi time.
SoCal, you've been feeding us some major armor lately! It echoes brother, just right on time!
Bonz pm'd me this weekend. He just tickles me to death, and has such good Bonz wisdom.
Hey there G and T!
Love you all!

i've been smoking my ass off lately, hardcore
why?having major problems in our relationship, me and my girl
i try not to get in the depths of shit mixing since the "devil" of desire is still all over me....it is hard to compensate that along with no sex(my fault), as the desire grows daily
still i chant and try not to "ask for help", i rather persist in not mixing the shit and see what can i actually do...and the answear is not much at the moment
gotta thrive on this time, no matter what! in times like these i realize why some religions support celibate for priests......not that i support that...makes me shiver
g.sensi: grab all the knowledge that u can and welcome!
this time it feels like something is pulling me through loads of gunk and obsticles, a firm strong magnet that doesn't let go.....even if i want to feel sorry for myself, i just can't things are on the move
suicide....yeah i'll talk about it
comes often handy in my mind, like a bicycle ride over the hill, feels refreshing at the end..but i hate it, i hate to come to this point when things get really ugly, it doesn't stop me it just delays me...and sets me back
it is the easiest alternative known to me, and i would feel like a total pussy if i went that way, although it is nice to think that the problems will go away this way, and i can travel on through dimensions without having to fix my karma....BS
sometimes i feel like an real idiot not fixing this in my past exsistance or wtw.

Hello my beloved Brothers
Im ALLWAYS here BIG HOMIE, just have not been postin up cause i feel slanderous, fuckin up the way i am.
Little story about the honest and positive proof of the Mytsic law. I was out gettin Mothers day goodies and im at the checkout, in front of me theres a woman, and she appeared to be my friends wife, the guy i told yall turned out to be a toker? So im about to say hey! Turns out it wasnt her. Glad i didnt say hey, maybe i shoud have she was a hot tottie my brothas.
So the Mystic part? I turn around and standing right there is one of my district members, and not just anyone, one that i have had such huge admiration and deepest respect for from the moment i met her, dont get me wrong, shes a lesbian but that makes no difference to me at all. She is such an awesome person, so aproachable and so real. I was fuking floored to see her. I shed a couple o tears, and gave her a huge hug, she hugged me back with all that is her.
Now ya'll think this was just a fluke? A random meeting that was just luck? NO NO NO! she told me something just told her to go to that store, Mystic shit my Brothers. Theres oh 10 registers/checkout lines , why did she end up right behind me? And she didnt reconize me one bit so you gotta rule out that she saw me and came up behind me to make contact. It was like Bonz? is that you? then the hug, love to love, it was shocking to me at first. However ill say it again this woman is so REAL that it wasnt scary for me to see her, just the opposite, i could barly contain myself CAUSE I KNOW THIS WAS NOT JUST SOME CHANCE MEETING! It was the POWER of this practice, not one doubt in my mind and hers as well.
So we talked in front of the store for at least an hour, first thing i did was just lay it on the line, i told her EVERYTHING that i been doin, which as you all know is fucking up and not being diligent in reversing my fuckin up. When i told her what i was doing, i got a response that floored me, she been there and done it as well.
One of the trippiest parts of our talkin is that i told her how much i love to see her at the center or anywhere for that matter. She responded by saying how much i am missed by her and the rest of my district?. So to make long story longer, she suggested/told me to be at the Center the next morning at 7:30 am, i was all for it. Then she said ill have one of the people that is an absolute testament that this is for real pick you up in the morning. I said no ill drive myself, and i was serious about meeting her there, no shit, i KNOW this works its been in my heart and soul for 35 years.
OK heres the big kicker. After our absolutly awesome meeting i had one more stop to make, i get outa the store and turn my ignition to start my car and BAMM, the ignition snapped, in other words it just spun, i heard a "click" when i turned the key and that was all she wrote, dead in the water, im thinkin why? why does this have to happen now? But i know why and once again we come back to the Mystic. I was parked in a space i dont usually park in, if i had parked where i normally do things would have been alot easier cause i know the Manager and he would have cut me some slack and given me the time i needed to get my car goin again. So, the 7:30 meeting was off at the Center. Why? i have 2 other vehicles and could have got there no problem, however my main car was stuck in this spot. The thing is i know the people that "own" the spoe i was stuck in. There not easy people to deal with and woulda had my car impounded if i didnt show up and buy some time. My car is a 4 wheel drive and was completely locked, could not get it in neutral and push it to a safer spot. So i go in to talk to the spot owner that im in. Honesty my Friends, this man does not only not smile, hes strait up scary to most. However i talked to Nicherin before i pleaded my case, Nam myoho renge kyo!!!!!, I was there at 7 am, ready to do battle with this guy.
OK he he he, i dont do battle unless absolutly neccesary, so i go in and first talk with one of his employees ,all was good, i have been a customer of theirs 4 or 5 times and i couldnt have asked for better work, its a dry cleaning/ tailor place. Anyhow as soon and while im talkin to the employee here comes the owner! HE HE HE! at first he was his same ole mean self. STOP: just a lil thought, in my personal opinion, NEVER judge a book by its cover, in other words this man APPEARS to be a total asshole, but hes Russian and i dont know the hardships hes been through?
So, when i start talking to him, hes pissed and angry, we talk a bit more and a smile starts to crack his face, shortly after we were laughin together, another tear jerking moment. He figured out that im no silver spooner and may have gone through some of the same hardships and said take your time and i hope and wish you the best!! However, my fuckin truck still has to be moved, its his spot for his biusness and i respect and understand that. The one thing that i know that kept him from impounding my truck besides our awesome conversation was that he saw me with all my tools trying as hard as i could to get it going: RESPECT!
Have i talked ya'lls ears off? he he he~~~
Well i aint done yet!!
I could not get my truck started, even with all the parts and time i spent on it! Still the owner was cool with it, he even sent a couple of his people to offer their help in at least pushing it to a better spot!
OK last thing, i have a friend, shit more like brother of 30 years, we have been at odds for the last 2 or so years, reasons another day.
I went back home to re group cause i figured the fat lady was startin to sing, i could not afford a tow truck and i knew that even though the spot owner was cool with things, he wanted it outa there!
So i get home trying to figure out what tha fuck to do? My mom who has actully been chanting with me! Wooooooooooo Hoooooooooooo so cool!!!!!!!!! i mean that ,shes a heavy Bodhisattva! She suggests callin my ole homie, i was negative at that point and was sayin shit like "he aint gonna answer the phone he never does" and so my mom makes the call to him, left a message and he called back in 10 minutes, i was shocked. Through all our "differences" Dude was over the hill at my truck in a flash????? Hes a Certified Mechanic and we trid our best but the whole steering coloum has to be replaced. Then he uses his Triple A to get my truck home. Once again holdin back the tears? I said to him that i want you back in my /our lives, your a hugely missed Brother and life is too short to waste what we have, we hugged, for real, and i felt like one o my brothas had come home. I was the one holdin the grudge and i burried it, i have wanted too for so long, but my ego and hardheadedness kept me from doing so.
Its Nam myoho renge kyo that has opened my eyes.
Shit, all emotional again but it feels so good.
Belive it or not theres more to this story but another day.
I love all my Brothers and Sisters here from you know where.
peace ALLWAYS!!

Great experience Bonz! Thanks for sharing. that made me think of this guidance from Pres Ikeda:
"I want you to understand the subtle workings of the mind. How you
orient your mind, the kind of attitude you take, greatly influences
both you yourself and your environment. The Buddhist principle of a
single life-moment encompassing three thousand realms completely
elucidates the true aspect of life's inner workings. Through the power
of strong inner resolve, we can transform ourselves, those around us
and the land in which we live."

more worthwhile, providing the material for a great drama of
fulfillment that unfolds day after day."

My family!
I'm here, thanks so much for the great posts. Shit I'm with Scegy and Bonz right now battling the internal demons best I can and then also with Socal as I'm really digging the encouragement. I've been truly on a dharma seesaw lately, but with Desi stepping up to get Gohonzon soon and Scegy almost there, we're about to explode with benefit!
I can smell it, can't you?
So lately, thanking Gohonzon has been solemn but brief which means I need to focus more daimoku and penetrate the deepest inner recesses I have been avoiding to deal with when the going gets tough. Today I took a bold move to secure a better future and tomorrow I'll make even bolder moves. For the rest of Today before my final exam tonight (another tomorrow then another on Saturday) I'm gonna connect and stay logged onto Gohonzon!
Thanks for the spiritual fuel, you guys are closer to me than my flesh and blood family. For that I pledge my love and continued support to all the Chanting Growers from the Big Buddha to the Latest Buddha making a cameo...

Mesegana Kings and Queens... More and More Love and Joy to each of you and your families...
So many thanks for the Kind welcome... I must thank King Baba for pointin I in the direction of this thread, as I wasnt aware such HIGH vibes flowed thru these web pages... It will take some time to get thru 8,000 plus posts, but I wish sincerely to read, reflect and meditate on each and every one...
The computer screen becomes brighter and brighter from the blessed energies that transcend from each of you... May the Almighty grant we Love and Light... Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!
InI may stand slightly to the side (never above or below) of this particular Philosophy, But I Pert M Hru have shown I the Truth that when we reach true Yoga, joining of the Upper and Lower Self; Jew and Christian, Muslim and Monk, Pagan and Ras Tafari say nothing different at the Highest of Hights...
We are Joined in the Spiritual, Mental, and Physical by Love... There is One Beginning but NO End...
King Bonzo... These things you describe no longer surprise I... At times I feel He is lookin down on I simply playin with I mind... Like Copperfeild or Blaine Him have me looking to the Left at what I believe I want, while Him placing Rainbows and Sunshine on I right which I really need... When I turn back, BAM! There is I Salvation, I Joy and Peace...
Just tonite I was consumed by the feelings of Lonliness as I have recently returned Home from studying in another country and Im calling one particular Brethren who I have missed so dearly for 2 days now but there has been no answer... Just as I was meditating on what I may have done or thought to receive such a Judgement the phone rings... It is not I friend as I hoped, but His EMPRESS calling I to tell me that King was unable to return my phone calls as he didnt have his cell phone with him and had left the city for a few days... Although we spend much time together, She has never had much reason to call I personally before, but She didnt want me to feel her Husband was ignoring I and she wanted to tell I how much they both had missed I... Her voice was such sweet balm but then the Mystic kicked in....She put the phone to her new born Prince who was born during my absence and told him to say hello to "Uncle G"... He sang me the most beautiful song of laughter and giggles...such sweet comforting JOY I cannot possibly express.... It was not what I thought I needed... It was sooo much MORE than I needed at the time.... The Almighty is SOOO GREAT!!
Believe me... When you are Thirsty and look for water, He will send you SOUP to make sure you are also not Hungry...
Kings and Queens let us Chant and Pray for these people suffering in China and Myanmar tonite... Let us send the Love and Energies so they may get thru this terrible terrible time... Spiritually comfort those who have lost those they Love...
You will find Love and Joy thru your Blessed Herbs... I pass I Chalwa on to each of you with Love
