NAM-MYO-HO-RENGE-KYO Nam comes from the Sanskrit word namas, which was translated in Chinese and Japanese as meaning “to dedicate one’s life.” “Dedication,”when dedicated to this principle, our lives become based on wisdom that perceives that truth and functions in response to any changing circumstance. Myo can be translated as mystic or wonderful, and ho means law. This law is called mystic because it is difficult to comprehend. What exactly is it that is difficult to comprehend? It is the wonder of ordinary people, beset by delusion and suffering, awakening to the fundamental law in their own lives, bringing forth wisdom and compassion and realizing that they are inherently Buddhas able to solve their own problems and those of others. The Mystic Law transforms the life of anyone—even the unhappiest person, at any time and in any circumstances—into a life of supreme happiness.
Renge, meaning lotus blossom, is a metaphor that offers further insight into the qualities of this Mystic Law. The lotus flower is pure and fragrant, unsullied by the muddy water in which it grows. Similarly, the beauty and dignity of our humanity is brought forth amidst the sufferings of daily reality.#boyatribe #samoa #samoan #samoa?? #uso #losangeles #carson #blood #bloods #piru #tribe

Not sure why there are complaints about prices. A couple weeks ago I found two records that I have been looking for for months, both at a very reasonable price. They are also in EXCELLENT condition. Cashier was very friendly and helpful.

Great vintage selection of housewares and vintage playboy magazines! The clothes selection could be better. I found everything 20% more expensive than I expected. Nice to come in and browse around though!

Nothing has a price tag and the owner has to be texted or called. Prices are inflated pretty badly - he offered 20 for a generic mug, generously brought down to 10 due to a storewide 50% discount. Haggling over the phone is great too
