"Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as in winter, but winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone heard or seen of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a believer in the Lotus Sutra who turned into an ordinary person. The sutra reads, "If there are those who hear the Law, then not a one will fail to attain Buddhahood"
- Nichiren to the lay nun Myoichi in the Gosho "Winter always turn to spring"

Moi Pia ja Jari! Tämä tulee nyt hieman myöhään, mutta kivaa kun olette liittyneet ryhmään!
Ja p.s. Tämä ryhmä on avoin kaikille kiinnostuneille, ei siis vain jäsenille : )

Liityin ryhmäänne, huomasin vasta myöhemmin että on tarkoitettu vain sgi:n jäsenille jota en vielä ole. Jos se haittaa niin toki voitte poistaa profiilini. En vain tullut ajatelleeksi.
