When we begin to practice and study Buddhism, we begin to open the door to our lives; we open our door, our inner door. But whom do we open the door to? It could be said that we open the door to no one but ourselves.

It is similar to the opening of the door to the great stupa of Many Treasures, the opening of the door to the practice of Buddhism. We practice the Lotus Sutra so that we can purify our lands, so that we can be of one mind and one body focused on living in the present both fully and mindfully. We open our door to reveal the Many Treasures Buddha that resides within ourselves and we also invite the Eternal Buddha to manifest in our lives.
