The evilest religion in Japan's Buddhism: Nichiren Sect (Essay)

Nichiren

Soka Gakkai, the parent body of Komei Pary, a partner of the Liberal Democratic Party that dominates Japan's current politics, was a group of believers of the Nichiren Shoshu sect but was excommunicated by the Nichiren Shoshu sect. I once befriended a Soka Gakkai member and received an introductory book on the doctrine. However, there was one point that was difficult to understand.

As well known, Nichiren said the Buddhist scripture ``Lotus Sutra'' is superior to any other sutra, and the Nichiren sect views it as absolute. Especially, ``Buddha's real desire for born into this world.'' I heard that the true reason why Buddha appeared in this world is explained in detail in the Lotus Sutra. As I read excitedly, it wrote, ``We don't understand.'' This kind of expression is called fraud. They kept pulling for this answer. Well, anyone not a Buddha cannot understand the Buddha's mind. In that case, it would be far more suitable to say that when the Zen Dharma Master was asked, ``Why did you come from India?'' he answered with only two letters, ``不識：I don't know.'' It's not unnecessarily long.

Furthermore, Nichiren was the one who took this ambiguous Lotus Sutra as absolute and rejected other sutras and the various schools of Buddhism that took them as their fundamental sutras. To begin with, the Lotus Sutra is a forgery created several centuries after the death of Buddha. There is nothing different from other sutras that Nichiren criticizes. This is Mahayana Buddhism’s junk that has nothing to do with Buddha. In later generations, Nichiren's successors devoted themselves to slandering and slandering other sects, calling it ``shakubuku (conversion by force)'' and committing violence. The Nichiren sect is the evilest sect of Buddhism in Japan.

日本の仏教髄一の邪教：日蓮宗（エッセイ）

日本の現在の政治を支配する自民党のパートナー：公明党の母体である創価学会は、日蓮宗の一派：日蓮正宗の信徒集団だったが、日蓮正宗に破門された。私は以前、その創価学会員と仲良くなり、教理の入門書をもらった。だが、そこには、理解に苦しむ一点があった。

仏典「法華経」が他のどんな経典よりも優越していて、それを絶対視する日蓮宗が挙げる根拠についてだ。「仏陀の出世の本懐」。仏陀がこの世に現れた真の理由が「法華経」で詳述されていると言う。わくわくしながら読んでいくと、「解らない」の一言で終わっていた。こういう表現を詐欺と言う。延々と引っ張ってきて、この答え。仏陀でない人には、仏陀の心は解るまい。それなら禅のダルマ大師が「インドから来た理由は？」と問われ「不識：知らぬ」と２文字だけ答えたというほうがずっと気が利いている。

さらにこのようなあやふやな「法華経」を絶対のものとして、他の経典と、それらを根本経典とする仏教諸派を排斥したのが日蓮だった。そもそも「法華経」は、仏陀の死後数世紀経って作られた偽作だ。日蓮が批判する他の経典と、何ら変わるところはない。仏陀とは無関係な大乗仏教のガラクタだ。後世、日蓮の後継者たちは他の宗派の誹謗・中傷に明け暮れ、「折伏」と称して暴力を振るった。日蓮宗は、日本の仏教随一の邪教だ。

*Budismo de Nichiren*

•°``°• •°``•.¸¸.• °•°``°• •°``•.¸¸.•

Chama-se budismo de Nichiren a escola budista que segue o ensinamento de Nichiren Daishonin, monge budista que viveu no Japão no século XIII. Nichiren nasceu em 16 de fevereiro de 1222. Essa linhagem afirma que o Sutra do Lótus torna os demais sutras budistas verdades parciais: os ensinamentos anteriores teriam sido proferidos por Sidarta Gautama em caráter provisório, de acordo com a capacidade dos ouvintes, enquanto que, no Sutra do Lótus, Buda profere seus ensinos a partir de um ponto absoluto, definitivo. O Budismo Nichiren é o único ensinamento que revela a forma de conexão com a Lei Mística, Lei Universal que significa fonte de vida, sabedoria e conhecimento universal. Através dessa conexão todos os seres podem atingir a sua iluminação estabelecendo a sua harmonia com a Lei do Universo.

O Budismo de Nichiren é a utilização de um único mantra, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, que significa *"Devoto-me à lei mística do Sutra da lei maravilhosa da flor do Lótus"* , mas cujas sílabas desdobram-se em outros significados.

O daimoku (como é chamado o mantra), é a lei do universo e desperta a natureza de Buda em quem recitasse. Portanto, outro pilar da fé nos ensinamentos de Nichiren seria o poder de atingir o estado de Buda na existência atual e, através da propagação dos ensinos (Shakubuku), buscar a paz mundial (kosen-rufu).

Dentre a prática tem a realização de duas cerimônias de oração diárias, denominadas Gongyô, em que são recitados trechos do Sutra do Lótus na versão em japonês.

Ultracinquantenne, divorziata, con due figli grandi, Silvana non aveva avuto possibilità di coltivare un rapporto d’amore sincero. In passato ne aveva sperimentati tre importanti che, per quanto con esiti disastrosi, (il primo la tradì durante la gravidanza, il secondo la riempì di debiti, il terzo la pestò a sangue), l’avevano rafforzata in ricchezza interiore e profondità. Due figli ne rappresentavano l’aspetto positivo. Sapeva già come le sofferenze, combattute e vinte, facessero crescere e progressivamente migliorare. Una volta raggiunto lo status di single, non desiderando una impegnativa relazione esclusiva, si votò al poliamore, prendendo qua e là quegli elementi personali che più le aderivano. Era convinta che fosse impossibile reperire in un solo uomo tutti gli aspetti positivi. Da uno prendeva la bellezza, dall’altro l’intelligenza. Da un terzo, la cultura. Da un quarto il denaro. Dal quinto, lo stile. Il tutto senza pretendere esclusività, né garantire la propria. Necessitava sopire i propri demoni interiori con il sesso e donare amore a chicchessia. Spendeva tempo libero sui siti di dating, strumento efficace per incontri di natura carnale. Pur non rendendosi conto di quanto in realtà fosse poco selettivo il poliamore, pur nella convinzione di attuare scelte oculate, fu la sua fortuna perché la mise a conoscenza del Buddismo Soka. Tramite uno di questi siti incontrò un genovese, buddista e gruista, di una quindicina d’anni più giovane, che professava da nove anni e che le fece Shakubuku. Indimenticabile per lei l’ora e il luogo dell’inizio della pratica: il Kaikan di Milano, dove in appena dieci minuti avvertì la connessione tra sé, gli sconosciuti lì presenti e l’Universo. In quel periodo era una paziente oncologica. #stefipastorigloss #BIDELLUME #bullismo #buddismo #shakubuku #provaconcreta #amore #dating (notare i #piedini da #instagrammer, sia mio che di @fabriziomegna 😀) (presso Taormina IsolaBella) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiniH2-tjkx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

— ON PRACTICING THE BUDDHAS TEACHINGS — (pt.11)

.

The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

.

Now, in the Latter Day of the Law, who is carrying out the practice of shakubuku in strict accordance with the Lotus Sutra?

SUPPOSE SOMEONE, no matter who, SHOULD UNRELENTINGLY PROCLAIM THAT THE LOTUS SUTRA ALONE CAN LEAD PEOPLE TO BUDDHAHOOD, and that ALL OTHER SUTRAS, far from enabling them to attain the way, ONLY DRIVE THEM INTO HELL. Observe what happens should that person thus try to refute the teachers and the doctrines of all the other schools. The three powerful enemies will arise without fail.

.

OUR TEACHER, the THUS COME ONE SHAKYAMUNI, PRACTICED SHAKUBUKU DURING THE LAST EIGHT YEARS OF HIS LIFETIME, the Great Teacher T’ien-t’ai for more than thirty years, and the Great Teacher Dengyo for more than twenty. I have been refuting the provisional doctrines for more than twenty years, and the great persecutions I have suffered during this period are beyond number.

.

I do not know whether they are equal to the nine great persecutions suffered by the Buddha, but surely neither T’ient’ai nor Dengyo ever faced persecutions as great as mine for the sake of the Lotus Sutra. They encountered only hatred, envy, and slander, whereas I twice incurred the wrath of the rulers and was exiled to remote provinces. Furthermore, I was nearly beheaded at Tatsunokuchi, wounded on the forehead [at Komatsubara], and slandered time and again. My disciples have also been exiled and thrown into prison, and my lay supporters have been evicted and had their fiefs confiscated. How can the persecutions faced by Nagarjuna, T’ien-t’ai, or Dengyo possibly compare with these?

.

Understand then that the votary who practices the Lotus Sutra exactly as the Buddha teaches will without fail be attacked by the three powerful enemies.

COSA C’E’ SCRITTO SUL GOHONZON? 

Nella parte centrale è scritto : Nam-myoho-renge-kyo   

Al di sotto c’è la firma di Nichiren. Egli applicò la sua firma per affermare il principio buddista di ninpo ikka, inseparabilità fra persona e legge. 

Ai quattro angoli della Torre preziosa siedono i quattro Re celesti, i guardiani dei quattro continenti : in alto a destra si trova Jikoku-ten il guardiano dell’est, il re che porta pace al paese e protegge la società umana. Komoku-ten, in basso a destra, è il guardiano dell’ovest che discerne e punisce il male e incoraggia l’aspirazione all’illuminazione. In alto a sinistra troviamo il guardiano del nord, Bishamon-ten che ascolta gli insegnamenti del Budda e protegge il luogo dove egli predica. Infine Zocho-ten, in basso a sinistra, è il guardiano del sud, che libera gli esservi umani dalla sofferenza.

Nella prima fila in alto troviamo Shakyamuni (rappresenta la saggezza soggettiva che percepisce la natura di Budda), Taho (rappresenta la realtà oggettiva della grandezza dello stato di Budda con tutti i suoi meravigliosi tesori) e i quattro grandi Bodhisattva della Terra.

Nella seconda fila troviamo Fugen e Monju che rappresentano il mondo di Bodhisattva che si sperimenta quando facciamo shakubuku.

Sul margine destro e sinistro ci sono due caratteri sanscriti: Fudo e Aizen. Fudo (Acala, l’inamovibile) sconfigge i demoni e gli ostacoli che impediscono la pratica buddista e rappresenta il principio di shoji soku nehan (Le sofferenze di nascita e morte si trasformano in nirvana o felicità). Aizen (Ragaraja, re degli attaccamenti) libera gli uomini dai desideri terreni e dalle conseguenti sofferenze e rappresenta il principio di bonno soku bodai (Le passioni e illusioni terrene diventano illuminazione).

A swift, spiritual kick to the head that alters your reality forever

Part of what will hopefully become a bigger au

It was a stupid joke he and Maggie had come up with during a movie night. They were wine drunk, tucked into a cocoon of blankets on the floor, and gossiping about their coworkers. The plan had been to marathon some Mission Impossible, but they’d expected to end up here. They always did.

“So since, Natalie’s dating your brother now, what are you going to do?” Maggie smirked at him over her glass. He had a hard time remembering when she’d declared herself his personal wingman, but she had truly dedicated herself to the role; and as happy as he was being single, it was also nice to have someone wholeheartedly believe him when he said Nat had nothing to do with his break up.

He shrugged, leaning into the couch. The cushions were soft against his cheek, but they would never be as comfortable as the floor. “I’m not gonna date anyone at Gaffney, that’s for sure.” 

Her raised eyebrows caused him to elaborate with more energy than he thought he had. “Everyone in the ED is out. I mean, the other attendings are,” he shivered dramatically, “and I’m not dating a resident. It’ll lead to too many problems. Honestly, the only new person is that Ava chick that Connor’s trying not to complain about, and she’s-”

She started giggling, looking everywhere but at him.

“What?”

“Nothing! Nothing,” she did her best to stop, “when was the last time you and Connor went out for drinks?”

He felt himself freeze once he understood what she was implying, “No, Connor and I, we’re not.” He huffed and took another sip, anything to buy him enough time to think of an answer. “Connor’s like that,” He gestured to the screen where Tom Cruise was parkouring across skyscrapers. 

“He’s Ethan Hunt?” She sounded doubtful, and rightfully so. Will loved these movies and knew them well enough to recognize how ridiculous the comparison was.

He had a point though, “No, he’s not Ethan. I could get with Ethan. Connor’s like James Bond. The guy speaks every language, goes to parties in suits, and could probably bench press me if he wanted to. He’s unattainable and perfect. He has to be a spy or something.”

He expected Maggie to laugh. This wasn’t the first time he’d said something stupid about one of the coworkers while drunk. He knows for a fact he said Ethan had the ass to be Captain America, and there were probably worse things he didn’t remember. The routine for these situations was that Maggie would laugh and take his wine away, but she didn’t laugh.

She got quiet and thought for a moment. “How long was Connor out of the country?”

Her tone brought him part way out of his fog. They were being serious for a second, “About ten years.” He’d done the math when Connor had forgotten the word stethoscope while telling a story. It was easy to forget that the last time he lived in the States was before he started med school.

“And he didn’t talk to anyone from home?”

Will’s eyebrows shot up, “Connor’s not actually a spy. Come on, he can’t be. He’s a Rhodes; why would he be a spy?”

“Could disappear without anyone noticing, had a good reason for being abroad, fluent in multiple languages, can handle himself with rich people, incredibly smart, good under pressure, super attractive but can blend in easily.” The list didn’t end there and he knew it. He just didn’t want to admit that she had a point. 

Connor couldn’t be a spy. Will had been the one to make the joke in the first place; but if Connor was a spy, he would be completely out of Will’s league. Not that anything was ever going to happen, he just liked having the illusion of a chance.

“You’re the one who watches all those TV shows and movies,” she was smirking again, “Tell me you wouldn’t propose on the spot if he burst through that door all ruffled, wearing a tux, saying ‘come with me if you want to live.’” 

She barely made it to the end of the sentence before they both burst out laughing, and that had been the end of the conversation during their movie night. Will thought it would be the end of it, period; but Maggie had different plans. 

During their next shift together, she leaned over and whispered to him, “Do you think he has a high-tech base in the basement of his apartment building?”

“Please, it’s in the false wall behind his bed. The basement’s where he keeps his vintage sports cars.”

Somehow this became their thing. They didn’t do it every time Connor walked by; but often enough that within a month, they had invented this whole second life for him. Dr. Bekker was part of his old team and they didn’t get along because there had been an accident during a mission; he didn’t work for any well-known agency, more a Man From U.N.C.L.E. thing; and he couldn’t tell Claire because it was the only way to keep her safe. 

Every once in a while, he’d feel bad. Connor was his friend and even though this was rooted in making fun of Will’s crush, he hated to think that Connor would be hurt by their jokes. But something kept him from telling him. Mainly, the risk of this exposing the fact that Will thought he was hot and had made a direct comparison between him and James Bond; arguably the hottest movie spy (behind Gal Gadot).

He didn’t know if he regretted keeping it to himself. If he’d told Connor, maybe none of this would have happened. They could have laughed about how stupid Will was being and gone about their lives; but he wasn’t sure this was a situation in which he’d rather not know. Though maybe this would have still happened and the only difference would be that Connor wouldn’t be staring at him with so much fear in his eyes.

“I can explain,” He started, but Will wasn’t sure he’d remember anything said to him in the next ten minutes or so.

“Don’t, just tell me what to do.” He took a few cautious steps closer. This was Connor; there was no reason to be scared. “We don’t have much time. Dr. Latham is looking for you.”

If Connor was confused by how easily he was accepting this, he knew better than to question it. They’d talk later. Will wasn’t foolish enough to think that either of them would be able to just let this go, but they had more important things to deal with right now. 

“Okay, grab his legs.”

Mirror, Mirror

Sincere apologies to everyone who is waiting for updates on my Mass Effect stories, but I’ve needed a bit of shakubuku. I know I’ve gone totally off the rails with this Arcana stuff (and out of nowhere, too) but it’s been so long since I’ve felt this fired up about a writing project. I’d forgotten how it feels, to actually be in love with a dumb, wreckless idea, to write something that is purely for personal satisfaction, to get high on the unrelenting challenges of the creative process. 

While this Arcana fic is obviously... Arcana fic... I’ve taken enormous liberties with it and I feel like I’m digging into my own original ideas for the first time in a good long while. I’ve been so stuck in sci-fi and ME-specific themes for so long that breaking into completely foreign territory is like mfdgalnga;lbnalkbnlsaf. Feels good, man. It’s just fanfic but it’s really not just fanfic, you know?

I have no idea where this fic is going, yet, but I’m excited about a story for the first time in a longggg time, and that’s good enough for me, even if I never publish a single stupid chapter.

Please stand by. If you’re sticking around but want to avoid this random-ass Arcana stuff, go ahead and blacklist “mirror mirror” (the name of the fic) or just block out my entire “the arcana game” tag, ha ha.
