Welcome to another episode of A Buddhist Podcast! On tonights show we have a lecture on the letter that Nichiren Daishonin wrote to Sennichi-ama, its called The Drum at the Gate of Thunder. Subjects include:

Hope spreads like fire

Sennichi-ama the sincere disciple

What does it mean to make an offering to the Lotus Sutra?

Open the storehouse of your life

Blossom with hope

Igniting the field of our unhappy karma

Did they die in the state of Buddhahood?

The Drum at the Gate of Thunder

Merely seeing my mentor . . .
