"Buddhism
& Depression"
by Lee Wolfson, Ph D
“Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,
if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the
mystic Law, but an inferior teaching…. Attaining Buddhahood in this
lifetime is then impossible. Therefore, when you chant myoho and recite
renge, you must summon up deep faith that Myoho-rengyo [the
Mystic Law] is your life itself." -Nichiren MORE.

Joy of the Law--Shining Light on the Root Cause of My Depression"
by M. LaVora Perry
"I didn’t want
chanting to be something I had to do because I was afraid I’d get
depressed if I didn’t do I didn’t want to live in fear of not

"Depression, Therapy, & Medication--My
Buddhist View" by M. LaVora Perry
"Since first coming down with depression as a teen, and even after I
began practicing Nichiren Buddhism, I've tried therapy and medication to
treat it. My view is that treating depression this way is a viable
option if it works for an individual...But, what I really wanted, and
got, was to understand how to completely eradicate my karmic tendency to
be afflicted with this condition. That goes deeper than a medical cure.
I wanted to cure my life." MORE.

Better than HD TV--The
Gohonzon's 3-D Ceremony in the Air
by M. LaVora Perry
"Although
born long before the invention of High Definition TV, Nichiren managed
to bring those pictures to life,
right into our homes, in the form of the Gohonzon so we can all join the
Ceremony in the Air every day by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo before
it." MORE

Why
the Truth About the Dai Gohonzon Matters
by Hope Evers
"For me
learning that most likely Nichiren did not inscribe this unique object
has been eye-opening to say the least...The
critical importance of knowing the truth about the Dai Gohonzon lies in
the fact that Nichiren Shoshu uses this singular object as its primary
instrument of control. While seeming to praise this particular
Gohonzon's virtues, in reality Nichiren Shoshu uses it as bait to lure
believers away from Nichiren's empowering essential teaching and render
them subservient, blind to their limitless potential. Commenting on
people who exhibit the type of behavior epitomized by Nichiren Shoshu's
exploitation of the Dai Gohonzon tradition, Nichiren paraphrased a
predecessor of his, writing, 'though they praise the Lotus Sutra they
destroy its heart
