Dharma Wheel

I know Nichiren understood Lord Nagarjuna. And placed in him in the lotus Buddhism by Showing us in Gohonzon

But I have never seen him talk of such things.

I see agenda here

I have no idea what Nichiren says on Sunyata. But I do know what is taught and Malcolm is teaching another view There is a reason when people make statements that are questioned and refuse to answer His response with add ons negates the original teaching Not to mention. confuses the issue. As for wh...

Cause correct me if I’m wrong but the middle way is saying it’s both existence and non existence. No. That is the third of the four extremes. That which arises dependently is free of all four extremes: existence, nonexistence, both, and neither. That’s the middle way, according to the Buddha and Na...

Hi tkp, thanks for making the time to respond. I will try to repeat back to you what I think you're saying, this is to see if I understand the latest post. n't In the context of NIchiren's propagation of the Lotus Sutra? No, not exactly. Not to say that within the context of the TB teachings they a...

ah yes the emptiness of emptiness..
thanks M

You don’t understand the middle way. You just fell into the third extreme, asserting that things both exist and do not exist. Rereading this. Malcolm are you denying Lord Nargajuna Concept of Sunyata and replacing it with some other teaching. Cause correct me if I’m wrong but the middle way is sayi...

I wrote a response, but it was lost to a glitch in the matrix. :rolling: I'll take that as a prompt that some things are better left unwritten. When this Covid is over, I'll tell you over tea. It’s weird our relationship. It’s more like a bad marriage Well you’re the calm one and I go hysterical. I...

Nichiren prolly saw this ...was disgusted that the con had gone to this level and created a vehicle that puts one in company with the gods and enlightened ones....if there are any ....

What’s with being born in the pure land ?


I thought this is the pure land.
Something we are to awaken to.

Search in the paper for 体. That is AFAIK what is being translated as "entity" by Watson et al. in these gosho translations. Whenever you see entity, it is 体 unless I'm quite mistaken. now this is the thing...Narhwahl went beserko when i said Watson inserted Ikdea's bidding in certain areas... now.....
