New guy

Post by ajhayes »

Hello everyone! I'm Adam. I've practiced "General Buddhism" from 2014-2016, settled into Soto Zen from 2016 to present, but I've never been able shake the "call" of Tibetan Buddhism. I took Refuge Vows, Bodhisattva Vows, and some empowerments in 2020 and I'm just really confused and can't seem to settle in to either spot.

I'm glad to be here and hopeful that I can benefit from the collective wisdom and experience.

Welcome!

Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo
"The five characters of Myoho-Renge-Kyo are the core of the Lotus Sutra and the origin of all Buddhas throughout the entire world. Upon seeing the signs that these five characters now must be propagated, I, Nichiren, have set the precedent, today, at the beginning of the Latter Day of the Law."

- Nichiren Daishonin, “Shuju onfurumai-gosho” 種種御振舞御書
