A different approach to studying the Lotus Sutra, or any sacred text, that focuses on a heart centered understanding. This heart centered approach is not in opposition to an intellectual understanding. It is a different and differently expansive way to be present to and with our sacred text.
Nichiren Shu Buddhist priest. My home temple is Myosho-ji, Wonderful Voice Temple, in Charlotte, NC. You may visit the temple’s web page by going to http://www.myoshoji.org. I am also training at Carolinas Medical Center as a Chaplain intern. It is my hope that I eventually become a Board Certified Chaplain. Currently I am also taking healing touch classes leading to become a certified Healing Touch Practitioner. I do volunteer work with the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network (you may learn more about them by following the link) caring for individuals who are HIV+ or who have AIDS/SIDA.
Erect a stupa of the seven treasures in any place where this sutra is expounded, read, recited or copied, or in any place where a copy of this sutra exists! The stupa whould be tall, spacious, and adorned. You need not enshrine my sariras in the stupa. Why not? It is because it will contain my perfect body.
