Recently I completed adding the Shingyō Hikkei, a handbook for members of the Nichiren sect, to the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church website. For the next 12 days I’m going to post the excerpts from Nichiren’s writings included in the handbook.

Below is a performance of a song included in the handbook. The lyrics are from a poem by Nichiren, which reads in English:

Even the clouds of saddness
That spread over me
Would be blown clear away
By the winds of Mt. Eagle
Filled with the sound of the Lotus Sutra
