* We are experiencing a few technical problems with particular providers. If anyone mentions to you that they have suddenly stopped receiving TMF could you suggest to them to look in their Spam mail box and if they do find mails there could they transfer them to their normal Inbox? It would greatly help us, too! Many thx!

"All the characters in which the Lotus Sutra is written represent living Buddhas. But because we have the eyes of common mortals, we see them as characters. It is like the example of the Ganges River. Hungry spirits see the waters of the river as fire, human beings see them as water, and heavenly beings see them as amrita. The waters are the same in all cases, but each type of being sees them differently, according to the effects of its karma."
(Letter to Hōren - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 517) Selection source: "Myoji no Gen", Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 11th, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"No matter how harsh the adversity, we can always find a way to make it into an opportunity for our great human revolution; we can always use it to create value. That is the essence of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.
"The Daishonin's Buddhism is a teaching of hope that allows us to powerfully and positively transform reality."
