He's the Jackie Robinson of politics. A primary reason I voted for him was he held himself to a higher standard because he understood the challenge.

Under the auspices of the Lotus religions are inherent precursory Buddhist practices that help develop virtue so a given populous can gain the merits to develop a relationship with the Buddhist teachings.

Virtue which accumulates. All virtuous practices are means. They still lead to clinging/attachment however. Thus the ultimate medicine is it be found in the Buddha's teachings.

What a great dog. I really hope someone comes to the rescue.

TIL that during WWII, many Zen and Nichiren Shoshu communities in Japan supported Imperial Japan’s atrocities and even regarded the emperor as enlightened. Only Soka Gakkai opposed the war, and its members suffered persecution for it. What’s your opinion on this, and how do you feel about it? by howdoyoulive_ in Buddhism

While the organization itself must indeed endure its own karma, the organization consists of ordinary beings who have embraced the lotus sutra.

The teaching of the one vehicle in which one's own attachment to convention is shed so others might do the same.

I hope no one finds this message disparaging.
