The confession of one's idleness and sins committed
by disparaging the Dharma, and making a vow that one would never commit
such a sin again.
Poems for religious instruction-Gokyoka
Saint Nissen, the founder and the great leader of HBS, composed poems
in the form of Tanka on the teaching of the Lotus Sutra, the teaching
of Saint Nichiren, the highest religious ancestor of HBS, and on the
rules and manners of the Buddhist practice.
Priests of HBS deliver sermons always and mostly quoting Saint Nissen's
poems and expounding the correct meaning that these poems intended.
Saint Nissen's poems that have been transmitted to the present are
estimated at about 3,400.
The teaching preached in the form of Tanka will never be forgotten. |
