About Me:: IT HAS TAKEN decades for me to start getting into a rhythm of activities and home visits that I am proud of. I only started to understand the Mentor-Disciple concept less than a year ago. My focus and prayer right now is to encourage and enable men to take care of men. When this is in my heart and when I take action on it, the flow of benefits is ceaseless.
It does not matter how long we've been practicing Buddhism. What matters is how correctly and passionately we are practicing at this very moment.

June 15th Stephanie and I officiated at a memorial service for the Hsu family. It was at Skylawn and plenty of fog and wind. Mrs. Hsu is bright as a pioneer member, a real lightbulb of a lady. Met her grandkids and tried to speak to their hearts about Nichiren Buddhism.

BUDDHISM FROM non-BUDDHISTS

"LIFE'S SPLENDOR forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come. "~Kafka "HAPPI… Continue

Walt Whitman, preface to the 1855 edition of "Leaves of Grass"

"LOVE THE EARTH and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families... re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any bo… Continue

At 3:07pm on March 21st, 2008, Lotus Flower said…: To My Lovely Friends- wishing you all a new Beginning, Happy Easter and a Sweet Weekend

The naked earth is warm with Spring,
And with green grass and bursting trees
Leans to the suns kiss glorying,
And quivers in the sunny breeze.

Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter
always turns to spring.
