A little later than I would like, but still I have to let everyone know that the new and improved Eagle Peak Press website is now up and running. The hook on which I want to hang this publisher hat is in honor of the inscription of the Dai-Gohonzon on October 12, 1279 and the passing of Nichiren Daishonin on this day in 1282. Following the deaths of three followers of Nichiren, who gave up their lives rather than forsake their faith in his teachings of Buddhism, Nichiren inscribed his life and the Mystic Law of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo on a large block of camphor wood. He took the martyrdom of three peasant farmers from Atsuhara as evidence that his teachings had spread and held to the point where everyone in the world should have the opportunity to experience the benefit of practicing Buddhism. Three years later he passed away, leaving the legacy of a simple means to access the same life of a Buddha that he had experienced.
