"The lion’s roar (shishi ku) is the preaching of the Buddha. The preaching of the Law means the preaching of the Lotus Sutra, or the preaching of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in particular. The first shi of the word shishi, or “lion” [which means “teacher”], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means “child”] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The “roar” is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison." - Nichiren Lion 🦁 roar 🤩 Good night 😴 💤 "The Record of The Orally Transmitted Teachings" Part 1, p. 111 #nichiren #buddhism #nmrk #daimoku #11112021
