At one point in my life I almost joined a Nichiren sangha. Didn’t end up happening, but I still like to chant the Daimoku sometimes.

Looks like a beautiful place! And a very beautiful (and large) gohonzon.

Great mind thinks alike.
@_Barry was admiring the circle artwork that looks like a clock. 13 characters? Not 12? What is its meaning?

Can’t say for sure but I’ll bet it is this since this is what they chant as it bangs out the prayer at 5:00 PM

This is from Andrew’s Preparing to Die program that is going on right now. Hopefully no one is offended by the sharing/mix I made out of Andrew chanting from his pre-recorded session tonight. We get one session a week every Wednesday plus ~5 hours pre recorded content on death every week that was recorded from his in person retreats.
This mantra is quite rare. In my search I have found no versions quite like it. What sets Andrew’s Manjushri mantra apart is the inclusion of ‘Hum’ at its conclusion—a powerful sound designed to weave these teachings into our being through the use of primordial vibrations.
I hope you find as much importance and depth in this as I have.

Very interesting read. I was wondering if the symbols might represent the months of the Aisan calendar, or the 13 full moons. Really liked your post about the Milarepa full (worm) moon this week. I think it is one of the holiest moons of the year.

Might have been posted before, but this is one of my mantras I play regularly in my kirtan practice.

I wouldn’t go so far as the author’s conclusion, having a background in research, though it is worth noting . . .
