Daily Gosho - Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Fashioned by Nichigen-nyo


So, based on the universal law of cause and effect, Nichiren reminds us here that our victories will definitely happen. The universe cannot fail to respond to our determined prayer...

"When you shake your head, your hair sways; when your mind begins to work, your body moves. When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?"

  1. it is more than the so called "butterfly effect": it is the awarness that our change in mind will affect definitely all the world around, it is the key of the human revolution; at the ned, the only hope for a better future.

    a 75-year-old-billioner under trial for bankrupt, corruption and sex with minors.
    or
    a former TV clown who invited fascits to join his party and Al Qaeda to bomb the parliament.
