Re: Shinrankai

Doctrinally there is nothing wrong or different ? So why a new "school" or movement in jodo shinshu ?

Re: Is Pure Land an alienated kind of Buddhism?

It’s concerned with liberation from Samsara which is the problem Buddhism seeks to address. it's not my point Well that’s the engagement otherwise it’s all just a show When I trained at a Jodo Shinshu centre they taught it as a path of reintegration I went on and had a Web Development career thanks...

Re: Is Pure Land an alienated kind of Buddhism?

This is a very naive and incompetent question, I do not know much in this field, but I wonder: why should a practice of Buddhism be regarded as "alienated" just because it does not fit with our Western expectations, i.e., that Buddhism should all be about meditating here and now in order ...

Re: IS PURE LAND AN ALIENATED KIND OF BUDDHISM

Re: Vajrayana as an aspect of Nichiren practice

There are two processes and two general types of people, according to Nichiren Daishonin: Those who received the seeds of Buddhahood in the past, those in the Higher Six Worlds; and those who never received the seeds, those in the Lower Four Worlds. For those who have already received the seeds, th...

i'd like to know the origin (where in the sutras or great commentators) of the ten realms and how Tiantai got his conclusions about them. i made a search and it's curious that something so basic in Nichiren and Tiantai buddhism cannot be traced I thought this was common in all Mahayana traditions, ...
