Hey my friends in faith, how have you been? This is a story from Berlin. Today, I have shakubukued somebody at the train stop by coincidence. Like our train drove to the wrong place and many passengers got real mad and upset and one of them was a fundamentalist Christian. This old angry man claimed that the devil must have manipulated the operator. Well, I argued back saying, as a Buddhist, all that truly matters is how we are responding to the situation- all obstacles can be…

one of my biggest victories is, I know now how I contributed to my relationship breakdowns. In the past, when I was upset, I would stonewall and get very detached.  Through dialogue, I am learning now, I can attract and keep really healthy relationships with loved ones.  I know this does not sound like rocket science, but to me it makes a huge difference. I can always ask the gohonzon how to respond positively to a situation.

My parents, who are living in an a rather rural area of Germany, met a Buddhist woman in their village.  I had been chanting alot for their happiness with very strong intent. They were not aware she was a Buddhist and met her because she has a dog too. I am really surprised and astonished. I hope they will keep close ties.

Heya everybody!! Just wanted to let you know I got a Nam-myoho-renge-kyo experience for you!!…
