Dharma Wheel

How can the two be compatible?

:twothumbsup: Ive returned to my practice of daimoku. For a while, i've been hanging on to the Christian faith of my upbringing, despite the fact that I don't really believe in any of it and despite the fact that my Buddhist practice has yielded such effectiveness within my own life. I couldn't figu...

What made you choose Nichiren Buddhism as opposed to other religions?

If so, what made you choose Nichiren Buddhism?

What would Nichiren say about attitude & how it affects our life?

What would Nichiren Buddhism have to say about this and why is it that those who have the most to hide/faults feel the need to tarnish others?

I realize it is quite a lofty term, with different takes on it.

Specifically, I grew up in a very conservative, Christian home and i've had quite a difficult time wrestling myself away from that belief system due to indoctrination. What helped you to completely remove yourself from yours and, do you think following Christianity creates negative karma for yoursel...

Sun, moon, star gods?? Just can't believe all that man. Lol. Can't blame you. Without the sun, are you? Without the agitation of the moon revolving around the Earth, do things turn out like this? Without stars, then what? These are functions of reality. One is hard pressed to deny their function. I...

I've heard stories of how chanting the Daimoku protects people from misfortune or at least, if there is misfortune, things tend to work out better. Thoughts?

Why is it that no matter how much I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, I feel like my fears are still high?

Coëmgenu wrote:It was not yet the age of dharma-degeneration, so the practice prescribed by Nichiren for the "latter days of the law" was not necessary, at the time. I think that is an answer in-line with mainstream Nichiren thought, though I could always be (and frequently am) wrong.

...why didn't he just tell them to chant NMRK from day 1?

Can someone describe this for me?

Im a HBS practitioner and would love to answer any questions you may have. Just send me a PM if theres anything youd like to know. In the meantime check out t...

It is my understanding that Nichiren Buddhism in particular doesn't focus on the 4bt and the n8p. Thanks

Hello everyone! Just wondering if some of you might share a bit of your experiences you've had since chanting daimoku. I think it may help to deepen one another's faith in Nichiren's Buddhism. Thanks

Is there any other place where the Eternal Buddha is mentioned besides the Lotus Sutra? Thanks guys!

Thank you so much!!! Wow, this Queequeg guy is a genius! Ty so much for pointing me to this. :namaste: Jut because I am practicing Nichiren Buddhism does not mean I am a scholar or an expert. I would never claim to be such. I also am not of the belief that you have to belong to any particular sect i...
