Book excerpt: The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin is a written record of the philosophy and correct practice of Nichiren Buddhism.

Let's face it you can't apply what you can't understand. Enter Waking the Lion: a Study Guide to The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin written with the lay believer in mind. Each chapter of this book covers one gosho, or letter, of Nichiren's. Each includes a brief introduction, an overview of what Nichiren says in that gosho (including explanations of difficult terms) and most importantly how to apply Nichiren's words to your practice and your life. Like Nichiren's teachings, Waking the Lion is not meant to be simply read, but lived. Be forewarned: reading it may awaken the lion within. So take a healthy stretch, dear reader, and get ready to roar--.

Download or read book Nichiren s Nationalism written by Achilles S. C. Gacis and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2000-10 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter One, "Religion and Nationalism in Early Kamakura Society" introduces the issues that affected the nation in the early Kamakura period. The first section points out the historical background of the time that was considered to be a spiritually significant age according to Buddhist chronology. The next section on the "Religious Answers to National Problems" provides a prelude to how the indigenous religious tradition of Shinto attempted to define its leaders and their right to rule as well as the divine protection that was to be given them by the native deities. The imported Buddhist teachings provided a new perspective to the national problems through an examination of existing conditions as possibly being consequences of immoral acts. The various characteristics of the teachings of the most prominent Buddhist leaders of the early Kamakura period are introduced in the next section of "Buddhism: Kamakura's Five Reformers." In the following four sections ("Honen," "Eisai," "Shinran," and "Dogen"), a few specifics on the differences and similarities of the nationalistic perspectives of the first four Buddhist reformers are examined. Chapter Two, "Nichiren," looks at the particulars in the fifth reformer's life that can help to clarify his approach toward providing a viable solution for the nation's problems. This is done by examining his life as being the product of "A Buddhist-Shinto Fusion." In this chapter I argue that Nichiren's upbringing and lifelong exposure to the indigenous tradition of Shinto (which emphasized the divine nature of Japan) provided an ethno-spiritual nationalistic element to his Buddhist teaching (which stressed complete faith in his interpretation of the message and meaning of the Lotus Sutra). Chapter Three surveys the "Nationalism in Nichiren's Writings" by examining the methodology that Nichiren used in propagating his teachings. One of his principles for conversion was shakubuku, which he supported by referring to scripture. His political aspirations through the use of religion are examined in the next section. Nichiren's affirmation of Shinto is presented in a comparison and contrast of his Budddhist teachings to his Shinto activities. Finally, I conclude with some reflection on how Nichiren was primarily a Shinto influenced nationalist who supported his views with Buddhist teaching and how this imported religion (Buddhism) was made Japanese by its interdigitation with Shinto.

  • ISBN : 1329917073
  • Pages : 384 pages

Download or read book Nichiren Gosho Book One written by Sylvain Chamberlain-Nyudo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-20 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised translation of the writings of Nichiren Shonin. Great care and scholarship was used to remove the centuries of Westernised idioms infused into the original asiatic languages. These idioms create mysticism where it does not belong or exist, creating great misunderstandings and contradictions where there are none. The Buddha's precious teachings were always based on observable phenomena and actions. The paradigms of Buddhist practice are Practice, Study, and developing a strong mind of determination and conviction. There is no faith required. "Faith" is a Western idiom of belief without substantiation or observable phenomena. This is totally antithetical and corruption of Buddha's teaching. You will find no such confusing language in our corrected translations. We continue to look for such errors and we are dedicated to the mission of correct translation of the Buddha's teaching and the lineage of scholarship that follows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reprinting of an out-of-print rare book from the library of Harvard University originally published in 1893. This essay is in my opinion, albeit with some very western rhetoric, one of the most accurate and true to the origins, transliteration of the doctrines of Nichiren and the teachings of Buddha.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, a tiny group of people in Cardiff and a married couple in Aberporth West Wales were the only Welsh members of Soka Gakkai International, a Japanese movement based on the beliefs and teachings of the 13th century Buddhist, Nichiren Daishonin. Today, there are hundreds of members in Wales and the Borders. This book examines the history of the movement in these two areas, and draws on original research gleaned from the members themselves. The research elicits facets of their faith, practices, and study, as well as their testimonies to the success of such beliefs and practices in their daily lives. The book combines the twin goals of academic analysis of the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin in general with the warmth of its expression in the lives of its adherents in Wales and the Borders.

Download or read book Nichiren written by Geo Rom and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-04-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Nichiren (1222-1282), the founder of the Nichiren Buddhist school of Japan, took the late Enlightened Master Shakyamuni's teachings of the White Lotus of the Wonderful Law of Cause and Effect as the basis of his teachings and promoted the confidence that all human beings can attain their own Supreme Awakening by enthusiastically carrying out the Self-Help Practice of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo in their lives. This brief infographic on the life of Nichiren Daishonin, who was born in the village of Kominato, Awa Province (present-day Chiba Prefecture), on February 16, 1222. The Daishonin (which his honorific title in the Western world means "Saint" or "Benevolent Sage") was born, as he said in his Sado writing, into a poor family of the chandala class-his father, Mikuni no Taifu, and mother, Umegiku, earned their livelihood from fishing. Loyal followers of Holy Nichiren recite this chant, called Daimoku, and other recitations and prayers as part of the Gongyo ritual ("Self-Help Practice"), which is practiced twice a day. St. Nichiren's Self-Help Practice appeared during the Kamakura period (1185-1333), a time marked by civil wars and natural disasters in Japan and significant economic hardship. Nichiren sought to awaken people to the correct teaching left to us by Shakyamuni Buddha by chanting his Daimoku, or title, Namu-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, and encouraging others to do the same. If you are interested in how to carry out this excellent self-help practice, you will find all the information in the contents of this book. Sincerely yours. GeoRom
