Guys, I wanted to get the word out that the 2009 NONA retreat will be held in the New England area! The host temple will be the Nichiren Buddhist Sangha of ...
Hi guys, I just saw in the recent issues of "Nichiren Shu News" and "Lotus on the Bayou" that there will be a pilgrimage to Japan in October. I would love to...
Hi Tut, Basically the pilgrimage will run about $3500 give or take. It depends on air fare and the value of the yen, but that's a good ball park. How are you...
... Hm, guess we should start saving up for the NEXT pilgrimage, then. }:P ... Missing you guys! I was actually bummed that we didn't have Easter Monday off so...
... Okay, I'm assuming the mokusho or the mokugyo is the little wooden percussion instrument used to keep time? (Poor Daryn, he says that thing gives him a...
... One interesting effect of performing gongyo in english is that it makes me more mindful of the need to be mindful as I recite the Lotus Sutra. When...
... Yeah - the mokusho is the flat(ish) round drum that N. Shu usually uses; the mokugyo is carved into the shape of a fish (or so they say - it doesn't really...
... Can't argue with that. The mokusho can be very annoying. The small size that people usually use at home can be especially painful; the bigger ones in some...
... Wow. I will have to pass that along to Daryn; sort of let him know "he's not the only one"! So some people use mokusho and mokugyo in home services, then? ...
Hi Tut, Daryn is far from the only one. When I first visited the Gathering (an independent group down in LA) I used the mokusho and they asked me to please...
... Heheheh! Well, whenever I get the chance to visit the Gathering or Faithful Fools (and I hope to do that one day while business- trip-ing in SoCal), if you...
Rev. Myokei, Have they firmed up travel dates for the pilgrimage? I have heard that it will be Oct. 10 to Oct. 17 ..Any additional days? Will the rumored...
Hi Max, As it stands now, we will depart the US on 10/06, with arrival in Narita 10/07. The trip to Sado will occur 10/08--two nights will be spent in Sado. ...
... Sorry I did not get to finish the whole message before I accidentally sent this out. We also have to consider issues such as rail passes and the flights...
Does anyone here have a very basic PDF file of Nichiren Shu gongyo? Or a link to one? I'm looking for a very "bare bones" rite. I have a couple of gongyo books...
I think there's something in the file section here. Also, if you have the small Nichiren Shu Liturgy book, you can shorten the service by just doing the...
Dear all members, We invite to join this Nichiren Shu Indonesia facebook with this link http://www.facebook.com/people/Nichiren-Shu-Indonesia/1060298403 ...
I posted this over on the Tusker Sangha as well, but I'm open to all responses: Namaste gang, I /may/ have posed this question a couple of years ago and not...
That passage in chapter 14 always seems to come up whenever anyone actually sits down and reads the Lotus Sutra all the way through - so congratulations! By...
... Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, ... Another thing to keep in mind about the chapter is its context. The whole chapter is cast in terms on one wishes to expound the...
... Hi Josho, This is a little off topic... but Are you, by chance, the the author/webmaster of http://daimoku.org/ ? I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the...
Hi, I've recently ordered some books from the Nichiren Buddhist International Center in Hayward, but when I call to confirm (I ordered online with PayPal),...
... Hi Richard, I should be going there tomorrow night (if I feel well enough), but in any case I need to call Rev. Hirai who is the manager there in the...
... Gee, thanks...! I actually ordered and read the Watson translation back in 2003 while I was still with the Gakkai. In '06 I got the Bunno Katto translation...
Evening everyone :-D I was wondering......since today is the day that Nichiren spoke those words we all chant for the first time way back in the day April 28th...
