Kenji Miyazawa is a fascinating figure. I was introduced to him via the book 'Coffinman'. His poems in that book, especially the one about his illness are some of the most moving things I have ever read. On the subject of the Lotus Sutra I was talking with the Bomori of our temple about a picture of a bird I had seen on the temple website and it turned out to be a Japanese nightingale (aka bush warbler) whose call is said to sound like 'Ho hokke Kyo' ... it seemed an interesting fact for your blog! gassho, K Thanks Doug.
