I'll start right here and right now.
Soka Gakkai International: famous japanese/global sect of Buddhists adhering to the dhamma tenets of Zennichiro -- also known as Nichiren or Daishonen Nichiren...
famous mantra fragment: "myo ho renge kyo".
a LOT of people don't really know what myo ho renge kyo means...but still chant it, or have chanted it. This even happened to my mother when i was six years old and we attended the dojo together.
But I internalized it, and felt the cool peacefilled energies of The World Honored One ascending into satori...
later I read the works of other famous monks...
Zennichiro is famous for standing up and saying that Shakyamuni, the Original Buddha, had to be remembered by people who were on the Path. Very fine work in his lifetime. He suffered numerous persecutions meant to end his life! All failed.
Whether that failure was due to the strength of his mantra, or other factors...who can say? It's a great mystery.
But many people are familiar with the Myo-Ho -- but don't know what it means except basically "the love of the buddha" or "enlightenment."
these are true statements - they simply...something is lost in translation.
But not for much longer! i have access to translations of this famous Lotus Poetry/Chant...
i'll be disseminating and Engaging in conversations with lots of people.
Ego and Desire (Yin and Yang) have been dreadfully misunderstood for a long time...
It is Nichiren's approach to Siddhartha, the Original Buddha, that helps us understand...
what makes Buddha Original great is his renunciation of the political and religious structures (Brahmin) of his time...
More, soon...
