Re: Prayers for Kathmandu-Pokhara earthquake
By the meritorious power of the Primordial Dharma of the Primordial Land which i uphold and recite, may all the victims of the Nepal earthquake be reborn close to the Buddhas teachings and realize the enlightened state of Buddhahood.

Re: Religious transference: Nichiren Buddhism and Catholicis
Id have guess that if any sect is similar to Christianity it would be Jodo Shinshu. The whole trust in Amidas vows and promise of salvation and rebirth thing.
I cant make a comparison between Nichiren and other religions. Nichiren is Nichiren.

Re: 'Worship Buddha Cure All Diseases'
Theres a difference between faith and stupidity. Im sure that any Buddha would recommend you seek professional medical help for sickness rather than doing what this man suggests.

Re: How seriously do you take Nichiren's writings?
He specified that by "seriously" he means "literally" and that he's talking about the specific passages from the texts that threaten hell to Pure Land followers etc. It's pretty clear that he is not asking if Nichiren followers take Nichiren's writing seriously in general... Am ...

How seriously do you take Nichiren's writings?
Hi all,
In Nichirens many gosho there are constant references to other sects as being heretical, their members being condemned to the avici hell and admonishing believers of other sects.
It gets to be quite vicious in some instances.
How seriously, or literally, do you take it?

Re: Slandering the Dharma
Wow, such great replies. Thank you! It will take a while to understand all of this. So once exposed to the Practices of the Lotus Sutra and once having accepted them, to reject or abandon them can be construed as slander? At what point did you "accept and uphold" the teachings of the Lotus...

Hi, I like to recite in the language it originated from. The way the ancients recited them.
