With You, For All
Being all together means we can think with you.
Your ideas add color for all and make the world beautiful.
Being all together means we can take action with you.
Your actions add color for all and make the world beautiful.
Being all together means we can be with you.
Your presence adds color for all and makes the world beautiful.
Our life is part of a long journey of awakening.
Beyond space and time,
each moment in our journey links to each and every life.
I am here; my existence shapes the real world.
The world is here; its presence holds me warmly.
I am precious. Everyone is precious.
When you realize this, your true journey begins.
Now is the time for us to breathe as one.
800 years of teaching offers multiple doorways.
The beauty dwelling in every detail of temple architecture. Temple surroundings transforming with each season. The atmosphere created by sounds of ceremony. Exploring the Lotus Sutra's teachings through contemporary lens. Practices lived through the body — water purification, chanting meditation.
It doesn't matter where you enter. Follow what attracts you, go where you're invited.
While viewing photographs, you might feel pulled to climb the actual stone steps. While reading articles, you might want to understand more deeply. The scenes and words you encounter here will someday connect with your own daily life.
Each time you visit, as seasons change, new content emerges.
The doorways are open widely. Yet they lead to one place. Whatever curiosity or interest you have guides you toward your own understanding, then action, then experience.
This is a place to discover your own way of connecting with us, Nichiren Shu.
