I would like to ask you about sutras.

Thank you for your support.
In the morning, I'm giving the sutras of the Nichiren sect.
I use the main sutras that I bought at Mount Minobu about 10 years ago.
There is no proper Buddhist altar, but every year, I put down a bill I received at Mount Minobu and a past book I saved myself, set up a simple place to replace a Buddhist altar, and pray.
There are various translations, and I pray as something I can do on my own.
So I'd like you to tell me, are there any sutras I should read during the equinox?
For example, if it's Obon, there was a place called Obon called Obon, so I read it, but I always wonder what the equinox is like.
You may be wondering what amateurs are saying, but I think of my parents, think of my ancestors, and share sutras.
If you have any answers, thank you.
I'm sorry to have taken your time to ask this question.
Thank you for your support.

Thinking about your ancestors and putting your hands together is very important, isn't it? ◎

I'm a member of the Jodo Shinshu sect, so I don't know the details of the Nichiren sect sutras.
It's nice to write down the sutras that were heard here, and it's also nice to be able to visit a Nichiren sect temple nearby.

Putting your hands on the temple's principal image and listening to the chief priest's sermon is also a precious time (*^^*)

※Additional notes are available. I know if confirmation is necessary with the head office

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

Regarding the Nichiren sect, I know there is no doubt that it is important to work by reciting the Lotus Sutra and reciting the title of the Lotus Sutra, but since it is not a specialty of humble life, I can't go into too much detail.

However, there is only half left until the Higan period this fall, so when I did a little research on the internet, I was able to find the stages of the Higan memorial service that seems to be in the Nichiren sect as shown below. I know if it will eventually be confirmed by Motoyama whether it is official or not.

Depends on the Higan memorial service ceremony

If you look at this, I think you can see that the work is centered around Hokke Sutra convenience goods, Hokke Sutra, Nyorai jurohin, and chants, which are regarded as particularly important in the Lotus Sutra.

Of course, it would be nice if everything could be formalized as it depends on this ceremony, but I still think it would be good for the head office to officially confirm official opinions, such as how far work can be omitted for people at home, and what the details of the formal transition will be.

※Additional note... I was taught by a member of the Nichiren sect.

According to Obon... it is one of the remains of Nichiren Shonin called “Obon Goshoto,” and it doesn't seem to be a sutra in strict terms.

During the Ohigan period, it was said that “the spirit of taking something one step ahead of your usual self is important,” and if you add something to your daily routine, for example, at work, add sutras from sutras more than usual to recite sutras, or add reading a suicide note before the subject, then “Joseon Shukyo” would be good too. Just for your reference.

Namu Myōhō Renge Heart

One person said that sutras must eventually develop into everyday life.
Of course, it is also important to recite sutras and titles, but “in the end, it is important that the contents of those sutras are prepared in the mind and body.”
There are three human actions.
mental activity,
Language activity
physical activity
Therefore, it seems that there is more merit than reciting sutras to make these three acts connected to the Buddha's heart.
The heart is Myōhō Renge Heart.
The language spoken is Myōhō Renge.
It seems that the act was Myōhō Renge Gō.
Just as a lotus flower comes out of the muddy swamp and does not stain the color of the mud, making a strange flower bloom,
Words and actions that save both oneself and others without attachment to the heart, and are transformed into peace.
That is the core of the Myōhō Renge Kyō, Myōhō Rengeko.
That act happens from a mindless and pure Myōhō Renge Heart.
I pray that every day of Takasama will pass as if Myorenge is blooming at your feet.

First of all, that feeling is important

To Taka-sama

It seems that they are giving the sutras of the Nichiren sect in the morning
I would like you to continue refining that Buddha's heart in the future.

It's a different sect, so I honestly don't know anything specialized
I think that feeling of chanting sutras first is important.
The feeling of thinking about your parents and your ancestors is important.

For sutras, be sure to go to the relevant denomination
I hope you can ask. I'm sorry. Gassho
