Book Synopsis The Instant Enlightenment of Ordinary People by : Yukio Matsudo
Download or read book The Instant Enlightenment of Ordinary People written by Yukio Matsudo and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has consistently developed an attempt to dismantle Soka Gakkai study from traditional Nichiren Shoshu doctrine. This book deals with the doctrine controversy with three different backgrounds, so it consists of three parts. * The first part refers to the criticism of Nichiren Shoshu doctrine that the author published in the period short after the excommunication of SG in November 1991. * In the second part, since the Soka Gakkai officially abandoned the faith on the Dai-gohonzon in November 2014, there are some discussion on the direction of SG study in the present time. * In the third part, the author develops systematically his thesis on the "Instant Enlightenment of Ordinary People" in succeeding to the humanist approach of SGI president Daisaku Ikeda.Thus, this book presents an innovative Nichiren Buddhism 2.0 for laypeople practicing in the global contemporary society of the 21st Century.

Book Synopsis Nichiren Gosho - Book One by : Sylvain Chamberlain-Nyudo
Download or read book Nichiren Gosho - Book One written by Sylvain Chamberlain-Nyudo and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-20 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised translation of the writings of Nichiren Shonin. Great care and scholarship was used to remove the centuries of Westernised idioms infused into the original asiatic languages. These idioms create mysticism where it does not belong or exist, creating great misunderstandings and contradictions where there are none. The Buddha's precious teachings were always based on observable phenomena and actions. The paradigms of Buddhist practice are Practice, Study, and developing a strong mind of determination and conviction. There is no faith required. "Faith" is a Western idiom of belief without substantiation or observable phenomena. This is totally antithetical and corruption of Buddha's teaching. You will find no such confusing language in our corrected translations. We continue to look for such errors and we are dedicated to the mission of correct translation of the Buddha's teaching and the lineage of scholarship that follows.

Book Synopsis The Buddha In Daily Life by : Richard Causton
Download or read book The Buddha In Daily Life written by Richard Causton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-07-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism encourages the belief that, through its faith and practices, spiritual and material blessings and benefits can be available to everyone in this life. Needs can be met, and success achieved, not merely for oneself but for others (and the world) through dedication to the Lotus Sutra, a central teaching of Buddhism. It combines these personal objectives with the commitment to world peace, ecology and the easing of suffering, especially, AIDS. Attracting such well known followers as Jeff Banks, Sandie Shaw, Tina Turner and Roberto Baggio, Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism is rooted in a Buddhist tradition going back to the teachings of Nichiren in the 13th century, and is part of an international movement based in Japan.

Download or read book Nichiren written by Masahiko Murakami and published by Middleway Press. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 13th-century Japan, disease, famine, violence, and natural disasters plague society. Samurai lords, blinded by power, shirk any responsibility to protect the citizenry. Religious leaders care more about currying favor with the powerful than helping common people find hope and a positive way to deal with their suffering. But one unknown Buddhist monk dares to speak the truth to power: Nichiren remonstrates with the authorities. He insists that all human life is precious and that the government needs to change its ways and become of service to the people. He criticizes the established religions as being merely pawns of the state, who teach ideas that only further the people's sense of powerlessness. The true purpose of Buddhism, he asserts, is to teach people a way to empower themselves, challenge their destiny, and experience happiness in this life. Based on actual events, this exciting comic touches on major milestones in Nichiren's life interwoven with basic Buddhist principles. This real-life adventure story will captivate readers as it illustrates the life of one courageous human being who stopped at nothing to bring happiness to the people and peace to the land.
Book Synopsis Dogen's Manuals of Zen Meditation by : Carl Bielefeldt
Download or read book Dogen's Manuals of Zen Meditation written by Carl Bielefeldt and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1990-08-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen Buddhism is perhaps best known for its emphasis on meditation, and probably no figure in the history of Zen is more closely associated with meditation practice than the thirteenth-century Japanese master Dogen, founder of the Soto school. This study examines the historical and religious character of the practice as it is described in Dogen's own meditation texts, introducing new materials and original perspectives on one of the most influential spiritual traditions of East Asian civilization. The Soto version of Zen meditation is known as "just sitting," a practice in which, through the cultivation of the subtle state of "nonthinking," the meditator is said to be brought into perfect accord with the higher consciousness of the "Buddha mind" inherent in all beings. This study examines the historical and religious character of the practice as it is described in Dogen's own meditation texts, introducing new materials and original perspectives on one of the most influential spiritual traditions of East Asian civilization.

Download or read book Chanting in the Hillsides written by Jeaneane D. Fowler and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, a tiny group of people in Cardiff and a married couple in Aberporth West Wales were the only Welsh members of Soka Gakkai International, a Japanese movement based on the beliefs and teachings of the 13th century Buddhist, Nichiren Daishonin. Today, there are hundreds of members in Wales and the Borders. This book examines the history of the movement in these two areas, and draws on original research gleaned from the members themselves. The research elicits facets of their faith, practices, and study, as well as their testimonies to the success of such beliefs and practices in their daily lives. The book combines the twin goals of academic analysis of the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin in general with the warmth of its expression in the lives of its adherents in Wales and the Borders.
