I am a 33 year buddhist, studying Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism. I have a fond connection to this country and its people, although I never have the fortune of visiting there. I’ve found that the Japanese are a very nobel, proud and wise people. Since World War II, they have excelled at everything they do and have become a leader on the world stage.
This buddhism was brought to this country by Japanese War brides. With broken english they spread the word of this teaching, slowly touching the lives of people in this country and countries all over the world. Some of our well know members are entertainer Tina Turner, actor Patrick Duffy, music man Herbie Hancock. It changed my life and I will be forever grateful to the War Brides that taught me and set a foundation that has enabled me to become the woman I am today.
Now these people need us in a way that has never been imagined before. The earthquake and tsunami pales in comparison to the potential of contamination by the nuclear plants. This is not just a country or a continent problem, it’s not about them, it’s about us, all of us. It is about all of us praying for the protect of our planet.
It isn’t about their religion verses ours; it’s about all of us, hand-in-hand praying for the protection of us all; the goodness of us all; the longevity of us all; and the love of us all. it’s time to pray to the God of your understanding, with all you have, because it is about all we have, in Japan, the USA, and every other place on this earth plane. Shine your light as you pray, allowing others to connect with your light, intensifying your prayers as they continue to multiply; and remember love is the greatest energy of all.
Namaste’
