Download or read book Nichiren on Karma written by Sylvain Chamberlain and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So, what is karma anyway? Karma is not cause and effect. Karma is not good or bad or indifferent. Karma is not retribution or a behavior or an act of will or bad habit or human vice. Karma is momentum. We live in a period of human development when very few of us are unfamiliar with the terminologies of science in our daily speech. I want to speak in terms familiar to as many of us as I can. So this writing will include many familiar concepts and terms in order to provide a working mental framework for insight into the nature of karma, Buddhist thought, and deeper understanding of the discussion of karma. I am not inventing some pseudo-science here to upset the academic pursuits of scientific discoveries, rather I am applying some attributes of scientific method to construct a logical mental exercise to grasp the profound significance of Buddhist thought and understanding of the "Engine of Life".

Download or read book The World of Nichiren s Writings vol 1 written by Daisaku Ikeda and published by Middleway Press. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these insightful discussions, Daisaku Ikeda explores from a variety of angles the life, times, and teachings of Nichiren Daishonin as described in his writings. We learn how Nichiren' s actions— from his vows at an early age to bring happiness to the people through his fearlessness in face of life-threatening persecutions— can become a model for us today. And the humanistic interpretations of key Buddhist concepts bring new clarity to ideas such as “ attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime” and “ establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.” More than just history and theory, the inspiration offered here aims to provide a deeper understanding of how to put into daily practice Nichiren's philosophy of hope and victory.

Download or read book Nichiren Daishonin Liturgy written by George Romero and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general format has emerged over the years. Initially, it followed the form of Nichiren School. In the 80s, silent prayers were added for the success of the lay beliebers NSA and Sokka Gakkai itself, and in memory of its first two departed presidents. By the 90s, prayers of appreciation for the priesthood were abandoned. In this new format, after the recitation of the 2nd chapter and the verse portion of the 16th chapter, daimoku can be chanted for as long as desired, after all the silent prayers are said to end gongyo. The recitation now takes only about seven minutes, leaving more time for the primary practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The silent prayers currently are appreciation to the Gohonzon, the representation of the ceremony in the air, the treasure tower, Shakyamuni and Taho Buddhas, to Nichiren, and the four bodhisattvas of the Earth. For the achievement of the goals of the practitioner and the deceased; and finally for the happiness of all living beings. It is indicated by Nichiren's Goshos, however, that more significant than the wording of the prayers is the practitioner's genuine purpose in doing gongyo and showing their gratitude and willingness to achieve their Supreme Awakening
