The Gohonzon Dialogues: Part 10
Welcome to A Buddhist Podcast for 1st October 2023. Tonights show is the Tenth in a series of dialogues on the Gohonzon between Luigi Finocchiaro, Peter Morris and myself. Tonight we talk about Nichirens exile to Sado Island.
We also discuss:
Going to Sado Island was not a one way trip, Nichiren's disciples travelled back and forth Our practice to the Gohonzon mandala is the eternal return of the Ceremony in the Air Kankenki drawings of 1254 Without Honen there may not have been Nichiren Sado is where Nichiren starts to cast off his chrysalis and become a butterfly and at Minobu begins to fly Nichirens famous writings on Sado Island, The True Object of Worship and The Opening of the Eyes are extant and clarified so much of Nichiren's teachings We can question whether Nichiren was sent to Sado to die, that might not be true! Japan is unlike Europe, its natural disasters have meant that nothing about Japan has remained the same physically You can purchase Luigi's books here -

Customer Reviews
Add a pinch of Buddhism to the daily grind:)
Such an easy, practical yet thorough discussion on Nichiren Buddhism. A pleasure to listen to. As an SGI member, I often recommend this podcast to other members and non-members as well. So down-to-earth, you two are gorgeous:). Thanks for all of your efforts.
Great source of information and inspiration
I have now been listening this podcast for over a year and it gets better and better. Jason Jarret has deep understanding of the life philosophy of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism and he can explain even the most difficult concepts with great clarity and also humour. This podcast has given me hope, inspiration and strength. And the best thing of all is that even it's from the Soka Gakkai International's perspective also those people who don't practise this Buddhism can benefit of the content. Really it's for all who seek wisdom, compassion and courage to overcome the hardships of their lives. Thank you for the high quality podcast.
