Lion

 

"The lion, king of beasts, is said to advance three steps, then gather himself to spring, unleashing the same power whether he traps a tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal.  In inscribing this Gohonzon for her protection, Nichiren is equal to the lion king.  This is what the sutra means by "the power of an attacking lion."  Believe in this mandala with all your heart.  Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

This page is for my friend Linda, not because she needs reminding, but because I'm thinking of her.


Let's catch some ants!
