Tonights show is so full!

Tonights lectures is based on guidance that President Ikeda gave earlier this year about the four points for victory. The four points are Prayer, Action, Unity and the Oneness of Mentor and Disciple. This lecture is about the second theme, Action! The main points of the lecture include:

  • Developing our own individual attitude to faith
  • Taking responsibility for the happiness of where we live
  • The roar of the tiger of death
  • Take the initiative and make new friends
  • We reveal buddhahood in our behaviour
  • The old man in the park
  • What is the Buddha’s great teaching?
  • Living with my mentor
  • Three powerful enemies
  • If not you then who?
We have a poem from Rabindranath Tagore called The Stream of Life. The music to accompany this poem is the Indian National Anthem, the words of which were also written by Rabindranath Tagore.
We have a question, and a lot of shoutouts from around the world. And we have a great experience from Isabelle Clinton!
We have music, courtesy of Promonet tonight! We have Be the Change from the album Elephant Power by MC Yogi. We also have Atlas from the album Arabesque by Belly Dance which you can buy here at ITunes!
We are proud members of the Ioda Alliance!
We would also like to express our thanks to Anji Bee for her help in finding music for this show. Anji has a great podcast and we are both big fans of her band the Love Spirals.
