A hundred years of practise
May 22nd - 28th, 2017
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
A hundred years of practise
in the Land of Perfect Bliss
cannot compare to the benefits gained
from one day's selfless devotion
that we make to achieve kosen-rufu.*
Let's, therefore, today again,
put forth our very best effort
Let's, therefore, today again,
put forth our very best effort
to help as many people as possible
to form a connection with Buddhism
to form a connection with Buddhism
and expand the solidarity
for the cause of justice and the truth,
and by doing so accumulate immeasurable benefit!
*A hundred years of practise in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practise in the impure world. Two thousand years of propagating Buddhism during the Former and Middle Days of the Law are inferior to an hour of propagation in the Latter Day of the Law." - "On Repaying Debts of Gratitude", WND-I, page 736
