Gosho & I

I was preparing a short Gosho passage to study with the Culture Division tomorrow this afternoon. Started with trying to understand the Gosho background, and try to find the phrase that was assigned to me from that Gosho. I started reading it and it was a letter written to his disciple Shijo Kingo. I was so engross on the Gosho and before I know it, I finished reading the entire Gosho. Nichiren Daishonin written this Gosho 750 years ago, and today it still has the appeal to many. I can imagine when Shijo Kingo first receive this letter from Daishonin, he must have been eagerly reading it numerous times! I figured out that must be the great compassion Daishonin has for all humanity that transpire space and time that had captured me.

When several children are caught in a fire, though the parents wish to save them all at the same time, having only two arms, they must decide which child to save first and which to leave until after. The Lotus Sutra is a parent with a thousand arms, ten thousand arms, or a million arms.

On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins

I think one of these arms has extended to this century and to Malaysia too!!
