Passing of the Master

Post by Queequeg »

Today we mark the passing of Nichiren Daishonin at Ikegami in 1282.
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

the world is indeed in need to reflect on Risshō Ankoku Ron.
Everything it warned against is now happening.
Nature is ravaging the lives of humans on a scale never seen.
yeah it's climate change , but who in their ignorance creates this.

I've been reflecting on this today. It is as you say.

Rissho Ankoku Ron and Kanjin no Honzon Sho - two of Nichiren's most important writings.
