Hi everyone its been a while since I posted. Most of you probably don't know me cause I don't post often. And for those that did post long ago I'm sure you remember me. I have started chanting again. My agenda for my own life is to bring peace and stabilitly to myself and my family. Right now I am practicing shoju not shakubuku. I stopped posting on this board for a lot of reasons. Thanks be to those who supported me.
BTW NICHIJEW this is considered ONSHITSU, but I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST NARCISISSTIC MEN I HAVE EVER HAD the pleasure of debating with on this forum. For F---K SAKE your own narcisisstic agenda is to promote your "my way or the highway" agenda. When you chant daimoku with that kind of arrongance in your heart the ONLY benefit you are going to receive is MORE ARROGANCE.
Anyway, I digress. I am going to be the change I wish to see in the organization. When and if I choose.
I follow THE LAW and not THE PERSON.
So, I hope everyone has a great year. You can choose to private message me should you so desire.
PEACE and HAPPINESS to all of you as you will be in my prayers every morning and evening.

"The path to Buddhahood is not to be found in the Kegon doctrine of the phenomenal world as created by the mind alone, in the eight negations of the Sanron sect, in the Consciousness-Only doctrine of the Hosso sect, or in the Shingon type of meditation on the five elements of the universe. Only the T’ien-t’ai doctrine of the three thousand realms in a single moment of life is the path to Buddhahood. Even in the case of this doctrine of the three thousand realms in a single moment of life, we do not possess the kind of wisdom and understanding to comprehend it fully. Nevertheless, among all the sutras preached by the Buddha during his lifetime, the Lotus Sutra alone contains this jewel which is the doctrine of the three thousand realms in a single moment of life. The doctrines of the other sutras are merely yellow stones that appear to be jewels.
They are like sand, from which you can extract no oil no matter how hard you squeeze it, or a barren woman who can never bear a child. Even a wise man cannot become a Buddha through the other sutras, but with the Lotus Sutra, even fools can plant the seeds that lead to Buddhahood. As the sutra passage I have quoted earlier puts it, "Although they do not seek emancipation, emancipation will come of itself." --The Opening of the Eyes or Open Your Eyes
