HI LILY!!!!!!! Does your amazing ARTISTIC talent know, no bounds!?! The picture online of beads was beautiful, however when I received them I literally squealed with glee! They are amazing, I know that word is used way too much but truly! I immediately did Gongyo , okay by now you know I'm a bit dramatic, but they felt so good in my hands I did not want to stop chanting. Seriously, your life condition must be super high because the positive energy I feel when using beads that you have made is incomparable! Thank you!!! Be well!! Briana R., NY

We have our monthly discussion meeting today, and I am bringing my beads. I am also going to give out a few of your business cards. The pouch is also gorgeous.
Do you just design the beads or also make them by hand?
Once again, thank you for making these gorgeous beads.

Hi Lily Rose juzu beads and bag arrived wed morning. I was just getting ready to start my morning gongyo when the post man rang the bell, so I started to use them straight away! They are beautiful and I shall be taking extra special care of them. You have a special talent Lily Rose so keep up the good work. The bag is lovely too. Those business cards that you enclosed in my parcel will be given out at The Gandi, King, Ikeda exhibition that we are hosting at Lancaster University, England in October this year.

IT IS MAGNEFICENT! i truly love it! the color, the texture, the feel, the weight , everything! just thrilled! went to the kaikan that afternoon to pick up some books and shared it with everyone there and everyone just loved it too!

cannot thank you enough and know just how pleased and happy i am with them.
Ross T., GA
took me a while to get used to them as I am not that attracted to the colors....but I ordered them for the specific purpose of increasing intuition so I was fully prepared. Now I have fallen in love with them...from making the connection in front of my Gohonzon....thank you....they are great!

The juzu are just wonderful. Yes, these are for me. I love the depth of color in the various Tigereye shades.
They are very restful and calming for me when I hold them--I don't know how else to put it :-)
Thank you, Lily Rose--you are a true artist!

The beautiful beads arrived today. Your wonderful spirit is present in your artwork.
Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes and I am chanting for your health and happiness everyday as I hold the lovely beads you created.
Warmly yours,
Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

I received these beautiful beads this morning and used them for chanting. The "feel" of the stones in my hands enhances the experience so much for me. Like you, I have always loved rocks. My Mama told me that my first word ever spoken was "gock". I have them all over the place, by a chair, in my pockets, in the car, etc. Unlike the plastic and wooden beads, these stones, for me, complete interconnectedness. As the cold beads begin to warm in my hands during Daimoku.....tremendous feeling.
Thank you so much for your already beloved juzu creation.
Warm Regards,
Sandra S., CA

My dear Lily Rose, thank very much. I receive the package. I'm very happy. Indeed the juzu it is wonderful.
In reality the both are beautiful. Thanks!
All the best,

I received my juzu, almost a week ago and forgot to tell you, please excuse me.
It's just gorgious and I am very glad. I'm already used to chant with it.
Thank you again!

I received the juzu, and I LOVE them. They are so beautiful, I was speechless when I opened them! I will absolutely recommend you to anyone I know who wants a special gift idea.
Denise S., AZ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, I did receive the package. I gave my friend the beads and she loved them! She is chanting with them regularly, and takes them to meetings. In fact, at our district meeting last month, there were four sets of juzu made by you in the room! They are gorgeous--everyone asks where they came from. I love my bloodstone ones and take them to meetings: I chant with the jade ones at home.
Thanks so much for all you do. I am planning on taking a picture of my friend and me with our juzu and sending it to you so you can see how happy we are chanting with them!

I picked them up at the Post Office today--they are just gorgeous.
You did a wonderful job making them.
I love the watch necklace (I forgot its name)--it's beautiful. I wear a lot of black and denim, so it will look great.
Thank you also for the neat bag for the watch necklace.
Thank you very much, Lily Rose.

I picked them up at the post office yesterday. I have been working and everytime I got to the computer, I forgot to email you!! They are absolutely spectacular. I opened the bag in my office and shortly after a client of mine walked in. She also remarked how beautiful they are and what an amazing energy they have. You are truly talented. I will enjoy these beads for years to come.

Oh it's okay, I recieved the beads right on time!! You were very speedy
in sending them right after I ordered them, and I know it was very
risky to order so late, but I had just discovered your website online,
after a long search looking for the perfect handmade prayer beads...I
want you to know that I loved the beads and that I am very satisfied
with your service. They are gorgeous! I bought them as a Christmas
present for my best friend's grandmother, who introduced me to
Nichiren Buddhism and they made her cry, they are so beautiful, so
thank you for that! I am very appreciative, and I will be ordering
from you in the future! I've also given out some of your cards...:-)
Thanks again Lily!

Honestly, I can not express how beautiful my new juzu are!!!!! It would be an insult to try to describe them with mere words. Seriously they are AMAZING. The detail in the hand carved flowers is beautiful. I couldn't wait to use them they feel so great in my hands and there is no need to rub because I felt this warm energy radiating from them. I used them for evening gongyo with one of my best-friends and he loved them as well he said they were so me. I concur wholeheartedly they are perfect! Thank you so much!!!!!
The freshwater pearl and crystal quartz juzu's my boyfriend John surprised me with, arrived the other day.
I was speechless and am now crazy for African Crazy Lace Agate and Zebra Jasper. These beads are SO COOL!!! And what fortune to have a boyfriend who doesn't practice but wants to support me and get me something I'll really enjoy.
I also especially loved how you incorporated the power of chanting daimoku in your "care and handling" literature enclosure.
I am soo lucky to have found out about and have the capacity to chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. My benefits get more and more profound. The way you have conducted your customer service inspires me to do even more for Kosen-Rufu.
Thanks again for the gorgeous beads.
Robin L., IL
I wanted to thank you for the beautiful beads you made, that my dear close
special friend, Dianne gave me for my birthday on Friday. They are really
beautiful, spectacular in every way.
Most especially, the energy I feel from these beads is astonishing. Can't
quite articulate it, but the beads are powerful...
I really appreciate the printed information about the beads too. You have
done an awesome job! I cannot thank you enough!
OMIGOSH!! The juzus arrived Saturday!!
GORGEOUS!!!!
And those cloisonne beads.
You do beautiful work and thanks for sending it off soo promptly.
And I love your site, I could look endlessly at your designs.
Now I am shopping for my own set (for when I get an early B-day present from my bf)
Thanks again.

I just received my MYOHO beads, wow that was fast. They are quite exquisite, the photo didn't do them justice. I am very impressed with the quality. You certainly have come a long way from uncooked macaroni and shoelaces.

YES, Yes, YES!!! Thank you Thank You Thank YOU!!!!!!!!! They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I am so impressed by your artistic eye for the beauty of the juzu. You really string your love and positive energy into them. I’m so glad I found you! The foil beads are incredible! I’m assuming you made them?! Love the color of the Jade…it just fuses with my being!
Thank you so much!
~Tamara B., WA
I have just received my myoho beads, they are truly gorgeous. I will be spending many hours of diamoku with them. My neice had ordered the other Amethyst myoho beads and I just thought they were beautiful. Our birthstones are both the same and she told me about your websight. When I first saw the ones I had ordered, its like they were made especially for me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Don't be surprised if you get more orders from South Louisiana. Thank You, Again

Lily, Lily, Lily!!! I recieved my beads today and they are gorgeous! Thank you. I'm about to do Daimoku with them right now and I can't wait.
The beads are amazing, thanks so much for all of your recommendations. I love the detail in the Jar beads. I don't want to let them out of my sight.
The description of the stones and the book you provided were a nice touch I'll hold on to those with my beads.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just recieved my bead they are beautiful. I know I made the right choice, they just feel
good when I'm chanting I also like the meaning of each stone.
Thanks again

I picked my beads up yesterday from the post office and chanted with them in the evening. They felt great. Wonderful energy. You have a real talent. I can tell you put great love into your creations.

I received my gorgeous juzu a few days ago in the mail, and just wanted to personally thank you again for helping me custom design this beautiful set of beads. They are exactly what I wanted! The red jade and black onyx are even more fantastic looking than I imagined. Your excellent customer service and attention to detail made the entire experience of designing them a pleasure. I'm sure I'll be chanting with them for years to come, as well as purchasing sets as gifts in the future. Thank you soooo much!
Also, I wanted to let you know that I gave the Swarovski set to my friend at his enshrinement, and he loved them too! They really are perfect for him, and he has already been chanting with them and taking them to meetings. Mark was at the enshrinement, and could tell immediately that they were your creation. Many people were very impressed with the workmanship, so I've been handing out your business cards to members in my district and chapter. Anyway, I just wanted to express my deep appreciation at the role you played in making his enshrinement extra special.
Thank you!

I just received this two wonderful juzus You made. I'm so happy!!!
It was a marvellous present from a marvellous wife, and this I already
know, but they are marvellous juzus from a marvellous artist, and this is something I learn today!!!!!
Thank you very much.
I'm a kind of guy that chant a lot, but now I feel I have to chant even
more. I'm crazy about juzus, and I felt just like you writed on your
little booklet. But yours..... They just blow my mind.
You are great, really I mean it. For sure I will send you some Daimoku.
A grat hug also from my wife, she love them too and felt so pride of her choice.
Thanks, thanks, thanks.

I received the gun metal Swarovski juzu today in the mail, and they are totally beautiful! I can't wait to give them to my friend at his enshrinement ceremony. I'm sure he will love them and have many hours of powerful daimoku with them. The care and compassion you infused into these beads is evident. They are even more fabulous than they looked in the picture on the website. Thank you so much for all your attention to the creation of these beautiful and inspiring juzu! I'm sure that they will function as an energizing stimulus for my friend as he increases his fortune and ichinen.

I picked up the Rhodonite and Onyx juzu Saturday morning from the post office. I couldn't wait until I got home to open the package, so I opened it while I was still sitting in the post office parking lot.
All I can say is they brought tears to my eyes. The thought & care you put into the juzu is evident. I see a difference in my determination to chant regularly & have already increased the amount of my diamoku. Something I very much needed. Thank you so much......................
Patricia C., FL

Oh my goodness…Lily! I love my beads. Thank you so much. Your work is very much appreciated.
I will be sending you many daimoku when I get home this evening.
Kea S., PA.
The juzu are just exquisite; they are so beautiful. Thank you for doing such an awesome job! The bag and the bead wrap are just great also.
Would you consider selling some of your bead instruction booklets? Our district could give them out to newcomers and they would be great advertising for your business. Please let me know. Either way that you decide is fine.
Thank you again for such fine work.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Juzu beads! I got the Juzu beads, because of how amazingly beautiful they are and to celebrate so many years of a good practise. I started chanting with them right away and I have my strong consistent practise back! On Monday I did 5 hours of Diamoku as I want to shift some big stuff.
The energy of the beads when I first held them in front of my Gohonzon was phenomenal! My hands were actually vibrating from the intensity! It felt great to know I chose the absolutely right beads for me at this time.
Thank you so much for providing such a powerful tool for us to use! The love of what you do and your good vibration comes through in your beads! After watching Harry Potter over and over again with my son, I shared his desire for a magic wand. Your beads are better than a magic wand!!! All the energy is there, all we have to do is tap into it and use it!

The red coral juzu beads arrived Friday in good condition. They are just as beautiful in person as they appeared in the picture on your web site. Thank you.
A number of years ago, during my YMD career, I used to do G-group at the Boston community center. One evening, a member left a set of jade juzu beads behind after a meeting. I recall admiring those beads in the basket at the front desk for many months. I was very happy to hear one day that those beads had been reunited with their owner.
My visit to your site was prompted by a desire to obtain a set of jade juzu beads. My wife and I looked at many of your offerings. I think that the red coral beads probably are a better fit to my personality. Once again, thank you!

My beads are much more beautiful than I had imagined them to be! Even though I looked carefully at the pictures, the true color of the beads is a marvel to behold! I love them...

I received my myoho beads yesterday! I could not believe you got them to me so soon. They were so beautiful... and the quality was just awesome. Last night was such a pleasure chanting with them. The necklace was so pretty that I can't wait to wear it. Thank you so much. Here's hoping that peace and blessings will follow you in the New Year.
Elaina M., IL

The beads are beautiful. I especially appreciated the way you wrapped them in cloth that matched the beads. I wasn't expecting that. You can tell you put a lot of thought, time,and effort into your work. Thank you for giving SGI members other OPTIONS.

Thank you very much. The beads are absolutely

The juzu beads arrived today! They're absolutely stunning! You were so right. It was just a tiny obstacle. I've looked long and hard for juzu beads that called to me. They have a phenomenal aura and vibration around them. You have obviously imbued them a great deal of loving kindness and compassion. Chanting with them is already a wonderfully sublime experience. Again, I can't thank you enough and no words can express the joy these juzu give me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, they did arrive and WOW are they beautiful!!! The picture did not do them justice! My ex-wife likes them so I'm trying to talk her into looking on your Web site and picking out some beads. If she does, you'll be hearing from me again soon. I am hoping that she will take up my offer and choose from your site. They are so lovely and so original! I know she would be pleased with them. Take care!

I have no words. Thank you so much for your creativity. What a wonderful contribution you have given through the use of your talents. Standing ovation!
I was very surprised with the package and extremly pleased. Love the bag. The dragons on the back, "Over the top" as I happen to have a thing for dragons.
The Picture Jasper Juzu incorporates the perfect stones for me. The perfect 50th birthday present.
Thank you soooooo much!

I received the package with the Tibetan Jasper juzu beads on Tuesday. I really appreciate the way that you carefully wrapped them, and for the business cards and information booklet. I found the individual beads to be a bit more delicate (smaller) than I had envisioned them. Yet, they fit perfectly and comfortably in my hands. The overall length is just right and the colors are sensational and match what they looked like on line. I very much enjoyed the explanations (in the little information booklet) of the symbolism of the different beads and types of stone utilized. I definitely think I made the right choice and that chanting with these juzu will bring me greater dedication to Nichiren Buddhism and to the Gohonzon, and even greater benefits in my life. Thanks again for all of your assistance in handling this purchase. It was a pleasure doing business with you, and I will definitely recommend Myoho beads to my fellow members. I am sure the Tibetan Jasper juzu will speak for themselves!
Tom H., CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They arrived and are absolutely exquisite. I am very impressed! Thank you for the scarf for the juzu; that was so generous of you.
I also love the booklet that came with the juzu--very informative and helpful. Please send me some business cards so that I can take them to our district meetings.
Thanks again--you are very talented Lily Rose!

Our mutual friend and sister in faith, Diana, has
sent me a present of the Swarovsky gold and black juzu
which you have so beautifully made!
Gongyo and daimoku are just so much more special with
them and of course, I've shown them to my entire
district and I'll continue to exhibit them to members
here.
The explanatory leaflet was great too.
So who knows - you may get some more orders from the
UK!
Sandi M., UK

The beads arrived today. They are fantastic! You are a very gifted artisan; the beads reflect your ho’oihi (respect) and mana’o (thoughts) for this practice. Looking forward to Evening Gongyo tonight with these beads and showing them to our District members at the next planning meeting.
Thank you, Lily!

I picked them up this morning and you are right, they are beautiful! All I had time to do was Sancho with them because I had to rush to work. I can't wait to get home and do my first Gongyo with them! The weight, the size, and the feel, are perfect!
Thank you so much!

We got them....they are beautiful and we love them. We couldn't wait to use them, so off to the Gohonzon we went.

I am on my way to a District Meeting this morning, but I wanted, no, needed to write you before I left. The "Myoho Beads" arrived yesterday (actually, I had to pick them up at the post office because they were insured and that was the very first errand I ran after doing Gongyo and chanting for a Victorious Day! I could hardly wait to get to the post office!) Anyway, when I got back to the house, I immediately opened them and all I can say is that they are absolutely EXQUISITE!!! I love them. They're not even for me, but for my daughter whose birthday is this Wednesday, April 21st. Those beads will totally floor her! Thank you so much...I am so encouraged that you realized your gift and then manifested it so that so many people could enjoy it in this lifetime. I will be ordering a set for myself real soon...Probably as a Birthday present for ME!
Thank you again and Have a Victorious Day!
Sincerely,
Marty E., MA

Let me encourage you to expand a little in your notes, about the Four Bodhisattvas:
Jogyo-Fire-True Self, Muhengyo-Wind-Eternity, Anryugyo-Earth-Happiness, and Jyogyo-Water-Purity. Four virtues of the Buddha, that we gradually reclaim as our own in behavior, through our practice of the Law.
Anyway, I sincerely appreciate the great purity of your heart/mind. Tonight I will go to the Community Center, and as a diehard showoff, think I'll generate some interest for your great passion!
With my deep respect,

The juzu arrived safely, and they are GORGEOUS! I feel like just holding them elevates my life condition. I also believe in the power of gemstones – at the very least, they focus our mind in a certain direction. I will make sure you get a customer comment from Austria – you should have one in about 3 weeks, when I will personally deliver the beads (if the recipients like them only half as much as I do, they’ll be thrilled to pieces).
All the best,
Elisabeth F., CA

They arrived today! They are beautiful! My mother really loves them. She will definitely enjoy using them. Thanks again.

My beads came today. They are even more beautiful than I had hoped. And wonder of all wonders, when I read about Fancy Jasper it certainly is the stone for me.
Because I am a Gemini, I must have two of everything, so in the future someone soon, I shall look again for another of your designs.
Tonight at evening Gongyo, I will feel my beads and again tomorrow.
Toni D., CA

You conduct business as a true Boddhisattva. I have adjusted, and love them. The only thing I love more is your beautiful concern. Something a big portion of the world is devoid of. You are a true example of the power of diamoku. I still hope you will consider designing and selling fukusas. Have a healthful year.

The beads are absolutely beautiful! I had my wife open them while I was still in New York and she was totally in awe, her words, "This is the best Valentines Day present EVER! Wait Mark, wait till you see them!!" And as you can imagine, every Myoho sister that has seen them are screaming and flipping..."Where did you get those?"
The work is beautiful, the packaging, the bead selection and expecially, the life condition. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

I just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying the Pearl beads. One of my struggles has been keeping up consistant chanting, but with these beautiful new juzu beads, I can't wait to get in front of the Gohonzon and chant!
Charlotte S., NY

I've purchased several sets of gemstone and glass juzu beads for myself and have given a couple as gifts, which were specially designed for the individuals.... My friends, that I gave them to (they have been practicing many years) were blown away..... they love them, and use them always. Each and every set that Lily Rose creates are fabulous in quality, as well as, artistic design. The biggest problem, truthfully, is in the choosing... they are all visually spectacular and once you hold them and start chanting with them, it's hard to put them down... I have my eye on several other designs and plan on purchasing them soon!
Cathy R., AZ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So far, I've purchase 2 sets of Lily Rose's beautiful Myoho Beads and have given them both away. The first to my oldest Shakabuku, Jeanne in Las Cruces, NM. They were a beautiful set of Aqua glass beads. She was stunned by the gift and absolutely loves them.
The second set, I surprised my oldest District Chief with during a meeting. She was completely taken back by the beauty and thanked me so much for them. I can hardly wait to buy myslef another set. I'm eyeing the real pearl set! They are the most breath-taking Buddhist beads I've ever seen!

A few months ago, Lily Rose, an artist for Kosen-Rufu, gifted me with a set of her beautiful juzu beads. Immediately, I loved them for their beauty and the perfection in the making of them. More than just being beautiful, I know Lily Rose and her ichinen and practice and intent for Kosen-Rufu and that lots and lots of daimoku went into the making of the juzu beads.
They are wonderful!
