Nichiren Shu Buddhist priest. My home temple is Myosho-ji, Wonderful Voice Temple, in Charlotte, NC. You may visit the temple’s web page by going to http://www.myoshoji.org. I am also training at Carolinas Medical Center as a Chaplain intern. It is my hope that I eventually become a Board Certified Chaplain. Currently I am also taking healing touch classes leading to become a certified Healing Touch Practitioner. I do volunteer work with the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network (you may learn more about them by following the link) caring for individuals who are HIV+ or who have AIDS/SIDA.

This blog is for the purpose of sharing writings by me as well as spotlighting temple activities. It is my hope that you may find what is shared here to be of some small use. If you don’t find something useful then just ignore it. The writings here are not the be-all-end-all to Buddhism.

Take what works for you and use it in your life. Together we walk the path towards enlightenment.

With Gassho,
Ryusho, Shonin

Recent Random Thoughts

  • Long Road From Stonewall May 9, 2012 - Today the President of the United States, POTUS, made an historic declaration of his belief that same sex couples should be permitted to marry. Growing up as a gay male I never expected to see this day, nor many of the days of recent years that have provided homosexuals with equality. While serving our country during the Vietnam War as a Marine I did so in fear of discovery. When going out at night I did so in fear of discovery. Later on living with my partner who was a career Navy man we both lived in fear of discovery. Who would have imagined that now, I can be open at work and in all aspects of my life without those same fears. And then today I can be gay and have a president of the United States say that he thinks I am and others like me, are entitled to be married. It's been a long road from Stonewall. ×0
  • Interfaith Service Against Genocide Sunday, April 29, 2012 - members from many faith communities came together in Chelmsford, MA to remember the victims of genocide from ancient times to the present. 525 pounds of rice was used to represent then 11.9 million lives taken in the Holocaust. ×0
  • GPS April 26, 2012 - Today, while walking in the forest at Weir National Historic Site the path I was walking on vanished. Rather than turning around I continued along. Finally I realized I was lost. I took out my phone and using the GPS I was able to find a road and the walk back to the park entrance. In life when you stumble or loose your way, is chanting Odaimoku your GPS? ×0
