In Nichiren’s writings he spoke often about his good fortune to be born in the Latter Day of the Law when Namu Myoho Renge Kyo would be propagated. Imagine what he might have thought about being alive in the even later Latter Day of the Law when it is possible for people to share Nichiren’s teachings instantly around the world.

Not that it doesn’t have its drawbacks. Last week I wanted to attend services at Myosho-ji, Wonderful Voice Temple, Charlotte, NC, using the temple’s GoToMeeting account. Unfortunately, the audio went out shortly after the service started and so I logged off and just performed my regular morning service.

My first choice Sunday is to attend services at the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church, where I am a new member. When there are no services, I split my Sundays between Myokakuji Betsuin, the San Jose Nichiren Shu temple, and online with Ryusho at Myosho-ji, Wonderful Voice Temple, Charlotte, NC.

Today was a wonderful example of the potential of streaming services. By the end of the service we had people from Indiana, Sacramento, New York City and El Salvador joining Ryusho and the guests at the temple.
