Rich Man and His Son – Lotus Sutra Parable Dharma Talk – February 13, 2011

Buddhism, by Ryusho 龍昇, Dharma Talks, Myosho-ji Temple, Nichiren Shu

This Dharma talk was recorded live at the conclusion of morning service on February 13, 2011. The talk consists of the retelling of the parable found within the Lotus Sutra about the rich man and his poor son. The important message here being that through the mercy of the Buddha we are raised up in our condition of life and given a priceless treasure that we did not ask for not did we realize we could attain. There was no formal written text from which the Dharma talk was given. I hope you find this talk beneficial in your daily lives.
