Attended services at the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church Sunday. After each service I take a photo of the flowers arranged by Rev. Kenjo Igarashi‘s wife, Nihoko. Periodically, Google likes to volunteer an enhanced version of the photo and that’s what I’ve got here. (Here’s the original.)

And flowers are one of the things I enjoy most about difference between Soka Gakkai (and by extension Nichiren Shoshu) and Nichiren Shu. I never could understand why offering flowers would be frowned upon. After all, offering flowers is one of the specific ways of showing faith in the Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the Wonderful Dharma.

Each week I offer new flowers. This week I got a little carried away.
