It is so great to hear the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra! It is truly regrettable that the Gohonzon was shown in recorded media. Had it not been for that I probably would of made it my featured video. Though at times we may not understand the wisdom behind it, following enlightened direction will lead to greater benefit...
@edge907 1st of all reread your post it makes no sense. Second - whatever you have to tell yourself. I don't need to be bothered with judging you. I'm merely stating that if you are eating animals you are not a TRUE Buddhist. Buddha respects ALL life. That means not paying for someone else's suffering, especially when there are million other things you can eat to survive. Again - whatever you have to tell yourself, go ahead.
Questo video e gli altri correlati sono solo un aiuto per chi non ha il gohonzon, o per chi non ha la possibilità di farlo in compagnia, cosa c'e di male? Io sto praticando d poco e frequento i meeting e mio fratello anche ed ha anche il gohonzon. A me piace la SGI s ha dei principi in cui mi sto ritrovando.
gracias por este video!,,, con todo respeto...por quien esta en desacuerdo... pero hoy realmente lo necesitaba... y no tengo imposible a un grupo de chanting...! suena egoista...pero quizas hay mucha gente que se beneficiara de este video como en mi caso....
ormai il Gohonzon è dappertutto, sia su moltissimi video proprio qui, su youtube, che su altri siti. Minacciare una denuncia mi pare decisamente sconsiderato e stupido. Sono gli atteggiamenti fondamentalisti come questo che mi hanno indotto ad allontanarmi dall'organizzazione più numerosa e a tenermi alla larga dalle altre. Per favore, recuperate il cervello, su!
@CyranAforever brava, stesso problema in passato e successivo allontanamento dalla SGI proprio a causa di gruppi fondamentalisti e aggiungo con atteggiamenti persecutori ma questo è un altro discorso, ora pratico da solo o con qualche amico che come me in passato ha avuto un'esperienza "negativa", IL GOHONZON IN QUESTO VIDEO NON VIENE IN NESSUN MODO OFFESO NE UTILIZZATO PER PUBBLICITA' e le visualizzazioni non sono certo legate all'immagine del suddetto
this was good video with the sound of daimoku. there is no need to have image of the Gohonzon. its like taking a picture of a mirror. that makes no sense. and its a form of slander. you point of this video is the diamoku.
@cla400 as long i get the idea of mryeoy69, he is pushing, trying to scold or prosecute; and you have replied something like F U. Is that? well if is it, i agree and i must say suck off mryeoy69 too. What if Nichiren had had the same idea? Nobody would never ever have known the Law or even the Gohonzon. What a crap this guy is. Congratulations Cla400.
@mryeoy69 The fundamentals of Buddhist religion there is the orientation of the Gohonzon must be preserved exhibition trivial, consider a failure that made the video author. As a Buddhist SGI, respect for all religions, and therefore I have to respect their laws and dogmas, even though sometimes I may not agree with them. Therefore, exposure of the Gohonzon in this way was unneeded, and their exposure shows that the author of the video only want to cause controversy
@Adonynam incorrect. the SGI Gohonzon is a photo copy. what is the difference between a video and a photocopy? His videos are beautiful. no retribuzione !! he wasn't trying to cause controversy. there is a lot about the SGI that you do not know. pax from USA.
@cla400@redspirit1976 ....All Gohonzon are reproductions. the SGI Gohonzon is a photo copy. what is the difference between a video and a photocopy? cla400, your videos are beautiful. no retribuzione !! pax from USA.
@redspirit1976 Ma per favore!non siate ridicoli e cercate di uscire dalla Soka che è solo una setta che vi fa il lavaggio del cervello!!!! noallasokagakkai.eu può aiutare.Ciao
@elyanto86 cara Ely io non faccio parte della soka mi spiace deluderti ma comunque sia ti posso assicurare che qualcosa di buddismo so.... il fare vedere in un video un mantra sacro (estrapolazione del sutra del loto fatta dal monaco Nichiren ) è comunque un errore. comuque detto questo ognuno la pensa come vuole ovviamente e ti ringrazio per il link che mi hai dato anche se mi sembra comunque un sito con dei giudizi piuttosto arbitrari non credi?
@elyanto86 ...potrei anche io svegliarmi domani e scrivere su un sito che ne sò che il papa spara cagate a sto punto... il fatto che resta è che comunque la soka come tante altre sette Buddiste (aiutami a dire tante) esiste da molto e non è stata mai convolta in strani casi tipo ( sparito adpto-svaligiati soldi di adpto ecc ecc- ...finisco aggiungendo che io (non ti frega ma tanto per chiarire ) ho il mio credo e solo mio e mi setto da solo!!! :))) cordiali saluti e ancora grazie ciao
@redspirit1976 MI SPIACE SMENTIRTI ....ma guarda che è molto facile raggiungere non dicerie ma documenti reali e assai scuri sulla soka e si possono raggiungere anche la melmosa storia di ikeda con i suoi dossier vari guai con la legge....più il famoso komeito che è proprio il contrario dell'insegnamento di nikiren a avvertiva della comparsa di falsi preti in quest'epoca....la soka è stata scomunicata dalla attuale scuola di nikiren in giappone....come mai ????
@redspirit1976 Nessuno ha detto che il papa non le spari grosse :) Cmq di storie torbide nella Soka ce ne sono varie...a partire dal "caro" Daisaku Ikeda che ha guadagnato milioni grazie ai creduloni che fanno offerte.Sei libero di fare ciò che vuoi,per carità,però non dire che la Soka non è implicata in strani casi.Cerca e vedrai....Cordiali saluti.Grazie a te.
@elyanto86 grazie sicuramente può essere come dici tu.. ma quello che si evince da tutta quetsa storia e sempre la solita cosa... parliamo di legge intesa come insegnamento in questo caso il sutra del loto a parte di esso o di persone! legge e uomini sono cose purtroppo ben diverse e lo sappiamo tutti.. gli uomini strumentalizzano da sempre la religione, sopratutto in giappone dove scuole di pensiero buddista che si fanno lotta ce ne sono centinaia..
@elyanto86 detto questo ci tengo a precisare che di sicuro quello che accade oggi non era nel disegno del creatore di questi mantra (all'epoca per primo ovviamente il budda e poi il monaco nichiren).le 3 scuole che oggi si appropriano di questo credo (la soka - la shoshu -e la soo ) sono in lotta per il controllo dei fedeli da molto e mi pare ovvio che tra di loro scoppino varie fetenzie tra cui denunce per truffa distruzione di vari tempi ecc ecc...
@elyanto86 finisco dicendo che comunque il concetto di queste scuole o la legge è buono non per questo posso dire che dobbiamo farci fare il lavaggio del cervello! viviamo già in un mondo dove il lavaggio ce lo fanno tra plastik e grandi fratelli vari... ciao e grazie comunque dei consigli di cui faro tesoro!
thank you so much for posting this. i have been a Nichiren Buddhist for 2 years, though i admit i have not practiced for quite sometime. after see your video, i made a visit to my Kaikon, and chanted for 2 hours. i wept at hearing Daimoku after so long and feeling the connectedness i thought i had lost, restored. thank you thank you thank you. Deep Love. In Devotion to the Mystic Law of the Universe.
@Nikbones ok....are you sure your commenting the right post because i see NO reference to eating habits in my post ABOVE. i am mildly insulted. but not enough to ruin my experience. good try tho.
How did you construe my statement to that of guilt? My statement was that you should not judge people. I do eat a healthy diet. Fyi, there are vegetarian and vegan food choices that are not healthy.
You are both Buddhist and animal rights activist but confuse the two. I am the former and not the latter. If you would try to "deny" anyone Buddhahood for any reason then you will not be able to attain Buddhahood yourself. So for you, I say don't put anyone in a box.

@edge9o7 A REAL BUDHIST DOES NOT KILL NOR DOES HE PAY FOR KILLING
MANY budhists eat meat. WRONG. They are not practicing true teachings of Budha.
Not a judgment, a comment. If you want to be part of a fad or do something 'cool' join a yoga class. You want to be Budhist LEARN what true BUDHISM is - respect for ALL LIVING BEINGS and RESTRAINT
(Go)Honzon s are objects that signify an event. (the ceremony in the air.) They are not objects of worship. Certain groups fetish-ize the Honzon and call it an object of worship. Nichiren was very succinct: "never seek the Gohonzon outside of yourself." I prefer a little statue of Shakyamuni myself. Changing from a Nichikan Gohonzon to a statue was liberating for me. But enjoy the practice, and please don't talk about truth and "True Buddhism!"
That is one thing that different people of different faiths get hung up about. Protestants think that Catholics worship the icons, medallions & even rosaries of their faith. Some Moslems think that use of any image of a living thing or natural creation is a form of idolatry. They symbolize ideals that the people & symbols represent. I have images of Buddha in my apartment along with icons of the Virgin Mary & Jesus. Some people get put off by that. It will happen anywhere w / any faith.
knoxville, the reason people are so hung up about the trappings of others' religious practices is because freedom of religion has only existed for a few hundred years, while history is full of persecutions, inquisitions, crusades, jihads, & pogroms all carried out in the name of that elusive "one true religion". People who are indoctrinated to stamp out the "other" which was declared heresy or idolatry in some "holy" man's bad trip have made religion a cause of great suffering historically.
Buddhism, of any stripe, has oft been portrayed as EXTREMELY tolerant, even though some groups have more rules than others. I've been an interested " student " of Buddhism, w / ironically I learned about after formally joining the S. Baptist church, our particular congregation had a library of books dealing w / other religions. I have gained an understanding of other religions & philosophies that a lot of other Christians, particularly in the South, do not have.
( cont'd ) & my understanding is that Buddhism, again of any stripe, started out as more of a philosophy than a new religion, hence, one could be a Catholic, Baptist, a Lutheran - w / would make my Lutheran pastor's head implode ! - without having to give up or renounce Christianity, Judaism, or POSSIBLY even Islam.
Baptists aren't really tolerant, but Lutherans are really closed - minded. My Lutheran pastor ( w / I was studying Catechism ) nearly FREAKED when he saw Buddha images in my place !
Chanting the daimoku, or mantra in this video brings about provable benefit in one's life, regardless of your other beliefs. Do not allow the ignorance or religious bias of others to obstruct your quest for enlightenment. You are obviously more open-minded than your pastor whose intolerance is based upon an erroneous belief in the absolute supremacy of his own religion.
I've tried it, & if nothing else, it can be emotionally fullfilling. I even printed out a copy of a Gohonzon out of curiousity ( Even though I have any number of statues / figurines of Buddha. ). Even for Christians who believe in a paradise beyond this life, seeking or acheiving enlightenment can quite possibly make one a better Christian, Jew or Moslem* ( * Not quite sure w / Moslems would think of that ! )
My pastor's a nice enough guy, just has a lot of conventional Lutheran ( cont'd. )
Clergy of any religion are unlikely to condone practices derived from other belief systems. While meditative traditions do exist within Christianity, the yogic [Hindu] and Buddhist practitioner is tasked with developing the entity of universal divine truth from within himself. The Abrahamic traditions [Judaism, Christianity, Islam] all claim there is one true God, and he is a distinct and separate all-powerful entity. Chanting immediately fuses the mind and spirit with the eternal Buddha.
Indeed. But the Catholic church is unusual in that it does. Some Protestant churches even have courses in the practices of other religions. I've read blogs & commentaries on said blogs about people who claim that they're " Zen Catholics " or " Buddhist Catholics ", because they employ certain Buddhist ideas within a Catholic / Sometimes Episcopal framework. Chanting, whether Buddhist, Hindu or Gregorian, can bring one closer to the Divine within or without of one's self.
I don't know about Nichiren or Soka Gokkai, but the Catholic Church has studied Zen to the point where the Vatican has priests, monks & nuns who are certified Zen teachers.
try reading " The Empty Mirror " by Janwillem Van de Wettering. He was a Dutch guy who visited Japan in the late 50's - early 60's. The book has provided a fair amount of insight into Westerners & Buddhism. For that matter, read ANYTHING by C. Huston Smith. Invaluable.
Some branches of Christianity are more tolerant than others in allowing their members to meditate in eastern traditions. This is a very recent development historically, especially for the Catholic church noted for burning and torturing heretics, including Lutherans, in ages past. Most of your fundamentalist Christian churches will accuse you of worshipping the devil when you chant to the Buddha or Gohonzon. Find your own eternal true self and you will no longer worship an external "God".
Believe me, I know about Fundamentalists. They choose to be closed - minded & ignorant, so be it. The Catholic Church has become more open to some other influences in the last 20 years. Fundamentalists / Evangelicals see demons & devils in everything, & they're just chasing distorted shadows.
The " Exodus " to other faiths began in the 60's when Catholicism / Protestantism & Judaism showed themselves as TOO rigid. Younger people went to other "exotic" faiths or else became anostics / atheists.
What is truth? As long as we enjoy the chanting and keep chanting with faith, who cares! I'm not yet a member of the SGI, but I chant everyday and I also have a KwanYin at home. Does that matter?!
I do, however, expect a certain level of tolerance. Problems arise when individuals take it upon themselves to point out "truths" and "correct" paths. The beauty of free will is that we can take elements from various sources and create a philosophy that is right for us. (For example- other schools of Buddhism claim that meditation alone is the way to enlightenment. Who is to say they are right or wrong?)
I was not scolding you and I apologize if I came across that way.
As an SGI member I am well aware of Nichiren's teachings. I posess the Gohonzon, chant daily and study the Lotus Sutra. I also have buddhist statues in my home because it brings a sense of peace and serenity to my environment. This is MY personal experience and I don't expect another Nichiren Buddhist to condone it.
Marilyn: Whether the creator of this vidio or you or anyone else chooses to pay any attention to what I have lerted you to and encouraged here is entirely up to yourselves.
Buddha says a true friend is one who is willing to go out on a limb to be honest even at the risk of being scolded etc. I have only tried to be a true friend to a fellow Buddhist in what I have said. Otherwise this is a beautiful video....
I have no more to say except I wish you wisdom, peace and happiness... :o))
The Gohonzon was created so that it wouldn't get misconstruded with other Buddhist practices... Inscribed specifically 4 all mankind by Nichiren Daishonin on 12th October 1279
The Gohonzon is the essence of Buddhism, and the embodiment of the Buddhahood within us. Chanting turns poison in2 medicine...The movie 'The Matrix' "I cannot show you the matrix you have to see it for yourself" Chanting 2 see proof without proof how could one continue...
What you state is fact- Nichiren did not want us worhiping statues. However, displaying Buddhist statues does not mean you worship a physical object. They are a representation of compassion, love and tranquility- everything that Nichiren himself represents.
This is a wonderful video. If we put faith in the LAW alone- then technically we do not need the Gohonzon either- a physical object much like a Buddhist statue.
Why don't we try embracing instead of critisizing?
Marilyn: Your conception of what I have stated appears to have run amoke.
Firstly: I was not criticizing, but defending the Buddha's wishes. There is nothing wrong with ornaments of Buddha's, depending on how you look at them of course, but it is definitely going directly against Nichiren's wishes to fade Gohonzon into a statue as has been done in this video.
If you are going to scold me for saying this then you are also scolding Nichiren - read the Gosho and see for yourself if I am wrong.
I suggest you read the Gosho & you will find what I have said here is correct. By doing what you have done here is a slander to the Gohonzon - Nichiren did NOT even want us to worship him.
That is why he enscribed the Gohonzon - so that we would get away from all the statues and things and put our faith in the LAW.
I hope you will soon rectify your mistake here and stop misleading people who may not be aware of this fact....
It's up to you... your future true happiness depends on it....
From what I understand Nichiren Daishonin made it very clear that we should "put our faith in the LAW and NOT in the person". He has included this in many of his Gosho.
This was his advent into this world - to chrystalize the LAW.
As beautiful as this video is, I think you are going directly against Nichiren's wishes by allowing the Gohonzon to transform into a picture of a Buddha. You are turning around Nichirens whole purpose for being here and misleading people to follow heretical teachings
Yes, and what a wonderful example to the world that Buddhists argue amonst each other online, some even calling the other "heretics". There are gohonzon images all over the net, even images of gohonzon inscribed by Nichiren, and nobody's head has exploded from posting them yet. There are numerous Buddhas symbolically represented on the gohonzon already, including Sakyamuni, so what is your problem? Be careful using the word "heresy" - it implies you are fanatical and intolerant.
irepelent I do not know why you sent me your complaint mate. I did not mention the word 'heresy' and I am not a fanatic nor intollerent. The only reason I said anything at all about the video was in good intentions. I have read Nichirens teachings and I know that he did NOT want us to think of the law as a person. Read his Gosho and he says over and over again that we should put our faith in the law and not in the person. Don't blame or condemn me for trying to remind people of this. Peace :o)
I THINK THIS Videto is good ...butt... he shoud not display the gahonzon on the net. ITS WRONG !!!! HE might as well put it on hes frount door and run thu the city naked.. its kie hes showing his inter bing to the world NOT GOOOD !! !!
Questo è attaccamento. una frase ripetuta in maniera compulsiva è attaccamento,un buddhismo che non prevede meditazione non è buddhismoSiddhārtha Gautama non ha mai detto in nessun canone di ripetere una formula magica. qualsiasi frase voi diciate è uguale,si chiama autoipnosi,potreste ripetere Cocacola all'infinito e avreste gli stessi effetti.
Secondo il mito indù, è dal suono che ebbe origine il mondo. Il suono smuove i chakra; ripetere un mantra a lungo permette ai pensieri "fastidiosi" di scorrere via, permette di diventare spettatore dei tuoi pensieri... ci sono tanti mantra studiati per aprire i canali più sottili del nostro essere. Non so se Cocacola può essere efficace come mantra, prova ad esercitarti. Non è importante che si tratti o meno di autoipnosi, ma la tua buona intenzione che ti motiva a crescere come persona.
p.s. Quando scrivo prova ad esercitarti, intendo dire, esercitati con un mantra vero e proprio come Nam-myoho-renge-kyo o OM ecc... Cocacola non è un mantra, suvvia !! ciao Cangurotibetano, peace!
Such a beautiful video this is. Was it not Nichiren that said, Chant with all your heart and soul and you shall seek peace and enlightened happiness through out your life. Since Aug. of last year I have been chanting but, not on a regular or daily basis as I should be.
Chanting has been a spiritual lift whenever the stresses of my family get me down or when I'm not having a good day I turn inward and chant. Chanting helps to raise my spiritual vibrations. Bless you! Nam Myoho Renge Kyo :)
In my opinion they are chanting way too fast. you can't understand what they are saying. It sounds like one long word. I learned how to chant 28 years ago. The rhythm should flow, but you should chant clear and crisp, with conviction.
Actual proof is needed. It would be an interesting experiment if u were 2 take it on. Imagine if what I say is true & after a few days of chanting, u saw benefit. Wonder if you'll respond I wonder if you'll do what Science would do. Science is based on tested proof or empirical evidence. U conduct a test or experiment & then observe results. Nothing beats actual proof. Your chanting 4 your life & the life of everything around u.
Showing such proof is the mark of a true successor.
Not showing the Gohonzon would be a selfish act, one born out of fear. It is an extremist act to want to protect it agains "the evil eye". Backward thinkers, and yet we have to move forward. Life's love and love is free. Free to feel, free to share. Sharing means to be connected to abundance that is omni-present. Gohonzon is nothing to be protective about. It is the thought that one clings to out of fear. Fear is the absence of LOVE.
the fear is love in embryo, the weather turns .... superstition is the dark that the light will fill ... everything is in the design along with the time
I agree with you. I like to boarden my mind by reading other books such Bhagavagitta, Bible, Koran etc. When when a member came to my house to see a Buddha's statue, he told me I am not allow to put those objects around. Needless to say, that was when I quit. But to be honest, I would know nothing about Buddhism if I didn't start here. Then I always asked myself why chant the title of the book and not to understand everything. I read the Lotus Sutra and became for interested Om Manipadmehm
I read that we have water, fruit & evergreen on our Alters 4 purity. But it's up 2 u what u have on your altar, some people who chant don't have anything on their Altar. What's on your Alter is always an offering 2 yourself anyway. It was wrong of this person 2 say such things 2 u. We are all different... I've experienced similar things with members... We all need 2 encourage one another. I feel encouragement isn't used enough. I'm really interested in the books you're reading?
I've only just begun to show a slight interest in this form of Buddhism. I get that some people are offended by a display of their religious material (Gohonzon). However, some of the comments here suggest that their religion is more important than those who practice it. This is disturbing to me, having been raised in a cult with the same views. I hope I am just misinterpreting the comments here.
Actually, what I have witnessed in this practice is that people are everything. No one is above the other. However, like practicing anything in life, there is a right way and a wrong way. In American there is hardly anything that is considered a "no-no" with the exception of videoing, photographing or improperly displaying of the Gohonzon. This is the equivalent of someone burning a bible or touching a Chasidic rabbi. We are not so much offended as we are hurt. I hope this helps.
Fear - False experience appearing real.There is nothing to fear. The Mystic is pure and mostly unfathomably profound. Focus on the good that you know & seek. Love prevails - here & now fully present.
I must agree that I find the display of the Gohonzon here on YouTube inappropriate. Many that are not practicioners of our Buddhism will neither see the significance of the Gohonzon nor gain benefit from it. I also know of SGI members who have been offended by this what they see as disrespect attitude. Myself I think it a shame to spoil, otherwise good videos, with this unthoughtful tendency.
la bellezza sta negli occhi di chi guarda...anche l'offesa è dentro a chi la prova...ricorda chi diceva ti stimo e ti riverisco... molti compagni di fede sono più superstiziosi che buddisti...il buddismo è logica ...e l'unica logica è questa
Chanteo,todos los dias aunque sea un rato,y de inmediato siento la fuerza,a pesar de los obstaculos,sigo y los venzo,creo sin dudas,ahora estoy pasando momentos criticos, y se que podria resolverlos, solo renunciando al Gohonzon, y entrando al LDS Chruch, porque ellos tienen el control de esta ciudad en la que yo vivo SLC,Utah,pero yo soy BUDISTA, del Sutra del Loto,GRACIAS, por el video me ayuda a chantear. NAM MIOJO RENGE KYO.
The most important thing is to create a life to life relationship with Nichiren Daishonin, whose great desire for the absolute happiness of all beings is embodied in the Gohonzon. It is through this relationship, which implies studying his teachings and practicing them to the best of one's ability within the context of our lives just as they are, that one is sure to reveal the same life condition as he did. It is the ultimate philosophy of hope and victory bequeathed to all humanity.
I have been practicing Buddhism with the SGI since 1983. I am not sure that it is appropriate to film the Gohonzon and spread that image on the internet. I think it is more important to ask oneself, "Is the action that I am taking true to the spirit of the founder...does it further the cause of kosen rufu and lead others to enlightenment or does it create confusion about the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Daishonin?" "The Gohonzon is found in faith alone," writes the Daishonin.
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,i gave our gohonzon to my former wife after our divorce a tradition and my karma has been notn to be able to get one.25 years we practiced my children are fortune baby's, our grand children are incredible..many who are objective are amazed by the most beautiful and witty madison,trevor's countenance pure smile anime eyes aura of love blessing me otherwise i rarley experience.i feel now that video or photo's of the gohonzon can not be disrespectful...thankyou....
..ti disturbo un'altra volta...Ovviamente non ho un gohonzon e neanche frequento un gruppo (purtroppo per ora sono un pò allergica a meeting e riunioni essendo stata "costretta" a farlo per anni..)..aiutami a capire:la parete bianca sostituirebbe il gohonzon..che in realtà è lo specchio di me stessa..della mia Buddità "latente"...recitando Daimoku "verso se stessi"(facile a dirsi..!!)..dato che il gohonzon è "dentro di noi" si può sperare di crescere anche senza il gohonzon FISICO?
se io ti dico- SIAMO TANTI SOLI- tu puoi comprendere il concetto di solitudine ma se vicino al mio dire ci metto una foto del sole tu comprendi cosa ti ho detto veramente...siamo tanti soli... la parete è un'attesa per la foto... il daimoku è il nostro dire la foto è il gohonzon... la pratica ha bisogno di supporti... intendo anche di chi è piu avanti.. so che si fanno incontri idioti tra i membri ma trovare un compagno di fede valido al principio è utile cme il gohonzon
Bello trovare un posto dove potersi confrontareavrei bisogno di qualche consiglio: Recito da un paio di mesi. Ho iniziato in un periodo buio e sinceram ho iniziato come 1 che annaspa per non affogare.. il GROSSO del problema si è risolto...subito! ora però vorrei affinare la tecnica e con essa i risultati: ad es.: meglio sempre recitare davanti ad una parete bianca o è lo stesso fissando il cielo o..lacqua di un lago?
Grazie per il video:passo molto tempo in ufficio e quando posso lo ascolto
se non hai il gohonzon la parete bianca o azzurra è l'indicazione ...però personalmente ebbi un beneficio che ha dell'incredibile recitando solo mentalmente prima di dormire...ma fu all'inizio ...in principio è forte la pratica dopo per la stessa forza devi lavorarci su...ti consiglio lo studio e il gohonzon... ovviamente anche i meeteng...poi personalizzerai il tutto... tutti abbiamo iniziato con un periodo buio...poi s'illumina:-)
è come uno specchio che riflette la nostra vera natura e come tale è fatto di materia ma la sua funzione,la sua importanza trascende di certo la materialità...i classici mandala tibetani sono fatti spesso cn la sabbia,cn materiali che nn durano e al termine della loro funzione vengono distrutti..è una cosa che dovrebbe far riflettere questa...
anche il gohonzon viene distrutto...oppure trasmesso a chi vuole ik proprietario...ma se non c'è nessuno va riconsegnato alla soka vje provvede a bruciarlo
ho letto che sei buddhista da tanto..spero che sarai anche tu concorde nel fatto che il significato e il potere del gohonzon vanno al di là del banale pezzo di carta...l'inestimabile valore dal gohonzon sta in quello che c'è scritto e quello che c'è scritto è la nostra buddità..quindi sostanzialmente ciò che è il gohonzon è noi stessi..
il gohonzon è un mandala... ma è anche uno specchio e una porta...si sa che le religioni sono interpretate con il proprio stato vitale e secondo il mondo prevalente... la superstizione è un mondo di avidità...spesso la gente vuole apparire e non essere...ci sono insegnamenti da studiare prima di poter avere autorevolezza...l'umilta è una chiave ma non è apprezzata... è l'uomo...o meglio l'umano che si accinge a diventare uomo... siamo tutti fuori all'inizio...no? :-)
abbiamo gia spiegato...davanti al gohonzon toda poteva infuriarsi ma davanti ad un video no di certo...solo uno stolto confonde il vero da un riflesso ... medita su te stesso credo tu abbia cose da chiarire ...quanto chi guarda il dito che indica la luna e non la luna
Grazie, ma la mia vita e gia splendente, con tanta felicita, non sono buddhista ma mi piaceva il suono di questa mantra, ho gia un mantra che uso con enorme efficace communque!
Grazie per aver ascoltato il daimuku!!!Sapete qua in grecia sono solo a Recitare per trovare qualcuno devo fare 80 km e a volte fa bene solo sentire tante persone che recitano. Grazie
It is so great to hear the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra! It is truly regrettable that the Gohonzon was shown in recorded media. Had it not been for that I probably would of made it my featured video. Though at times we may not understand the wisdom behind it, following enlightened direction will lead to greater benefit...

@CyranAforever brava, stesso problema in passato e successivo allontanamento dalla SGI proprio a causa di gruppi fondamentalisti e aggiungo con atteggiamenti persecutori ma questo è un altro discorso, ora pratico da solo o con qualche amico che come me in passato ha avuto un'esperienza "negativa", IL GOHONZON IN QUESTO VIDEO NON VIENE IN NESSUN MODO OFFESO NE UTILIZZATO PER PUBBLICITA' e le visualizzazioni non sono certo legate all'immagine del suddetto

@mryeoy69 The fundamentals of Buddhist religion there is the orientation of the Gohonzon must be preserved exhibition trivial, consider a failure that made the video author. As a Buddhist SGI, respect for all religions, and therefore I have to respect their laws and dogmas, even though sometimes I may not agree with them. Therefore, exposure of the Gohonzon in this way was unneeded, and their exposure shows that the author of the video only want to cause controversy

@elyanto86 detto questo ci tengo a precisare che di sicuro quello che accade oggi non era nel disegno del creatore di questi mantra (all'epoca per primo ovviamente il budda e poi il monaco nichiren).le 3 scuole che oggi si appropriano di questo credo (la soka - la shoshu -e la soo ) sono in lotta per il controllo dei fedeli da molto e mi pare ovvio che tra di loro scoppino varie fetenzie tra cui denunce per truffa distruzione di vari tempi ecc ecc...

(Go)Honzon s are objects that signify an event. (the ceremony in the air.) They are not objects of worship. Certain groups fetish-ize the Honzon and call it an object of worship. Nichiren was very succinct: "never seek the Gohonzon outside of yourself." I prefer a little statue of Shakyamuni myself. Changing from a Nichikan Gohonzon to a statue was liberating for me. But enjoy the practice, and please don't talk about truth and "True Buddhism!"

That is one thing that different people of different faiths get hung up about. Protestants think that Catholics worship the icons, medallions & even rosaries of their faith. Some Moslems think that use of any image of a living thing or natural creation is a form of idolatry. They symbolize ideals that the people & symbols represent. I have images of Buddha in my apartment along with icons of the Virgin Mary & Jesus. Some people get put off by that. It will happen anywhere w / any faith.
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
knoxville, the reason people are so hung up about the trappings of others' religious practices is because freedom of religion has only existed for a few hundred years, while history is full of persecutions, inquisitions, crusades, jihads, & pogroms all carried out in the name of that elusive "one true religion". People who are indoctrinated to stamp out the "other" which was declared heresy or idolatry in some "holy" man's bad trip have made religion a cause of great suffering historically.

Buddhism, of any stripe, has oft been portrayed as EXTREMELY tolerant, even though some groups have more rules than others. I've been an interested " student " of Buddhism, w / ironically I learned about after formally joining the S. Baptist church, our particular congregation had a library of books dealing w / other religions. I have gained an understanding of other religions & philosophies that a lot of other Christians, particularly in the South, do not have.
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
( cont'd ) & my understanding is that Buddhism, again of any stripe, started out as more of a philosophy than a new religion, hence, one could be a Catholic, Baptist, a Lutheran - w / would make my Lutheran pastor's head implode ! - without having to give up or renounce Christianity, Judaism, or POSSIBLY even Islam.
Baptists aren't really tolerant, but Lutherans are really closed - minded. My Lutheran pastor ( w / I was studying Catechism ) nearly FREAKED when he saw Buddha images in my place !
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
Chanting the daimoku, or mantra in this video brings about provable benefit in one's life, regardless of your other beliefs. Do not allow the ignorance or religious bias of others to obstruct your quest for enlightenment. You are obviously more open-minded than your pastor whose intolerance is based upon an erroneous belief in the absolute supremacy of his own religion.
irelephant 2 years ago
I've tried it, & if nothing else, it can be emotionally fullfilling. I even printed out a copy of a Gohonzon out of curiousity ( Even though I have any number of statues / figurines of Buddha. ). Even for Christians who believe in a paradise beyond this life, seeking or acheiving enlightenment can quite possibly make one a better Christian, Jew or Moslem* ( * Not quite sure w / Moslems would think of that ! )
My pastor's a nice enough guy, just has a lot of conventional Lutheran ( cont'd. )
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
Clergy of any religion are unlikely to condone practices derived from other belief systems. While meditative traditions do exist within Christianity, the yogic [Hindu] and Buddhist practitioner is tasked with developing the entity of universal divine truth from within himself. The Abrahamic traditions [Judaism, Christianity, Islam] all claim there is one true God, and he is a distinct and separate all-powerful entity. Chanting immediately fuses the mind and spirit with the eternal Buddha.
irelephant 2 years ago
Indeed. But the Catholic church is unusual in that it does. Some Protestant churches even have courses in the practices of other religions. I've read blogs & commentaries on said blogs about people who claim that they're " Zen Catholics " or " Buddhist Catholics ", because they employ certain Buddhist ideas within a Catholic / Sometimes Episcopal framework. Chanting, whether Buddhist, Hindu or Gregorian, can bring one closer to the Divine within or without of one's self.
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
( cont'd ) programming to work with.
I don't know about Nichiren or Soka Gokkai, but the Catholic Church has studied Zen to the point where the Vatican has priests, monks & nuns who are certified Zen teachers.
try reading " The Empty Mirror " by Janwillem Van de Wettering. He was a Dutch guy who visited Japan in the late 50's - early 60's. The book has provided a fair amount of insight into Westerners & Buddhism. For that matter, read ANYTHING by C. Huston Smith. Invaluable.
knoxvilleguy2 2 years ago
Some branches of Christianity are more tolerant than others in allowing their members to meditate in eastern traditions. This is a very recent development historically, especially for the Catholic church noted for burning and torturing heretics, including Lutherans, in ages past. Most of your fundamentalist Christian churches will accuse you of worshipping the devil when you chant to the Buddha or Gohonzon. Find your own eternal true self and you will no longer worship an external "God".
irelephant 2 years ago
Believe me, I know about Fundamentalists. They choose to be closed - minded & ignorant, so be it. The Catholic Church has become more open to some other influences in the last 20 years. Fundamentalists / Evangelicals see demons & devils in everything, & they're just chasing distorted shadows.
The " Exodus " to other faiths began in the 60's when Catholicism / Protestantism & Judaism showed themselves as TOO rigid. Younger people went to other "exotic" faiths or else became anostics / atheists.

I do, however, expect a certain level of tolerance. Problems arise when individuals take it upon themselves to point out "truths" and "correct" paths. The beauty of free will is that we can take elements from various sources and create a philosophy that is right for us. (For example- other schools of Buddhism claim that meditation alone is the way to enlightenment. Who is to say they are right or wrong?)

LIFESKEY-
I was not scolding you and I apologize if I came across that way.
As an SGI member I am well aware of Nichiren's teachings. I posess the Gohonzon, chant daily and study the Lotus Sutra. I also have buddhist statues in my home because it brings a sense of peace and serenity to my environment. This is MY personal experience and I don't expect another Nichiren Buddhist to condone it.
Marilyn1122 2 years ago
Marilyn: Whether the creator of this vidio or you or anyone else chooses to pay any attention to what I have lerted you to and encouraged here is entirely up to yourselves.
Buddha says a true friend is one who is willing to go out on a limb to be honest even at the risk of being scolded etc. I have only tried to be a true friend to a fellow Buddhist in what I have said. Otherwise this is a beautiful video....

The Gohonzon was created so that it wouldn't get misconstruded with other Buddhist practices... Inscribed specifically 4 all mankind by Nichiren Daishonin on 12th October 1279
The Gohonzon is the essence of Buddhism, and the embodiment of the Buddhahood within us. Chanting turns poison in2 medicine...The movie 'The Matrix' "I cannot show you the matrix you have to see it for yourself" Chanting 2 see proof without proof how could one continue...

Lifeskey-
What you state is fact- Nichiren did not want us worhiping statues. However, displaying Buddhist statues does not mean you worship a physical object. They are a representation of compassion, love and tranquility- everything that Nichiren himself represents.
This is a wonderful video. If we put faith in the LAW alone- then technically we do not need the Gohonzon either- a physical object much like a Buddhist statue.
Why don't we try embracing instead of critisizing?
Marilyn1122 2 years ago 4
Marilyn: Your conception of what I have stated appears to have run amoke.
Firstly: I was not criticizing, but defending the Buddha's wishes. There is nothing wrong with ornaments of Buddha's, depending on how you look at them of course, but it is definitely going directly against Nichiren's wishes to fade Gohonzon into a statue as has been done in this video.
If you are going to scold me for saying this then you are also scolding Nichiren - read the Gosho and see for yourself if I am wrong.
LIFESKEY 2 years ago
I suggest you read the Gosho & you will find what I have said here is correct. By doing what you have done here is a slander to the Gohonzon - Nichiren did NOT even want us to worship him.
That is why he enscribed the Gohonzon - so that we would get away from all the statues and things and put our faith in the LAW.
I hope you will soon rectify your mistake here and stop misleading people who may not be aware of this fact....
It's up to you... your future true happiness depends on it....
LIFESKEY 2 years ago
From what I understand Nichiren Daishonin made it very clear that we should "put our faith in the LAW and NOT in the person". He has included this in many of his Gosho.
This was his advent into this world - to chrystalize the LAW.
As beautiful as this video is, I think you are going directly against Nichiren's wishes by allowing the Gohonzon to transform into a picture of a Buddha. You are turning around Nichirens whole purpose for being here and misleading people to follow heretical teachings
LIFESKEY 2 years ago 3
Yes, and what a wonderful example to the world that Buddhists argue amonst each other online, some even calling the other "heretics". There are gohonzon images all over the net, even images of gohonzon inscribed by Nichiren, and nobody's head has exploded from posting them yet. There are numerous Buddhas symbolically represented on the gohonzon already, including Sakyamuni, so what is your problem? Be careful using the word "heresy" - it implies you are fanatical and intolerant.
irelephant 2 years ago
irepelent I do not know why you sent me your complaint mate. I did not mention the word 'heresy' and I am not a fanatic nor intollerent. The only reason I said anything at all about the video was in good intentions. I have read Nichirens teachings and I know that he did NOT want us to think of the law as a person. Read his Gosho and he says over and over again that we should put our faith in the law and not in the person. Don't blame or condemn me for trying to remind people of this. Peace :o)

Secondo il mito indù, è dal suono che ebbe origine il mondo. Il suono smuove i chakra; ripetere un mantra a lungo permette ai pensieri "fastidiosi" di scorrere via, permette di diventare spettatore dei tuoi pensieri... ci sono tanti mantra studiati per aprire i canali più sottili del nostro essere. Non so se Cocacola può essere efficace come mantra, prova ad esercitarti. Non è importante che si tratti o meno di autoipnosi, ma la tua buona intenzione che ti motiva a crescere come persona.

Not showing the Gohonzon would be a selfish act, one born out of fear. It is an extremist act to want to protect it agains "the evil eye". Backward thinkers, and yet we have to move forward. Life's love and love is free. Free to feel, free to share. Sharing means to be connected to abundance that is omni-present. Gohonzon is nothing to be protective about. It is the thought that one clings to out of fear. Fear is the absence of LOVE.

I agree with you. I like to boarden my mind by reading other books such Bhagavagitta, Bible, Koran etc. When when a member came to my house to see a Buddha's statue, he told me I am not allow to put those objects around. Needless to say, that was when I quit. But to be honest, I would know nothing about Buddhism if I didn't start here. Then I always asked myself why chant the title of the book and not to understand everything. I read the Lotus Sutra and became for interested Om Manipadmehm

I've only just begun to show a slight interest in this form of Buddhism. I get that some people are offended by a display of their religious material (Gohonzon). However, some of the comments here suggest that their religion is more important than those who practice it. This is disturbing to me, having been raised in a cult with the same views. I hope I am just misinterpreting the comments here.

Actually, what I have witnessed in this practice is that people are everything. No one is above the other. However, like practicing anything in life, there is a right way and a wrong way. In American there is hardly anything that is considered a "no-no" with the exception of videoing, photographing or improperly displaying of the Gohonzon. This is the equivalent of someone burning a bible or touching a Chasidic rabbi. We are not so much offended as we are hurt. I hope this helps.

The Gohonzon is not supposed to be photographed or filmed. It is a sign of ultimate respect for this object of worhip.

Fear - False experience appearing real.There is nothing to fear. The Mystic is pure and mostly unfathomably profound. Focus on the good that you know & seek. Love prevails - here & now fully present.

Hmm, take that Gohonzon out the video, I thought you can't take photos of it...

I must agree that I find the display of the Gohonzon here on YouTube inappropriate. Many that are not practicioners of our Buddhism will neither see the significance of the Gohonzon nor gain benefit from it. I also know of SGI members who have been offended by this what they see as disrespect attitude. Myself I think it a shame to spoil, otherwise good videos, with this unthoughtful tendency.

la bellezza sta negli occhi di chi guarda...anche l'offesa è dentro a chi la prova...ricorda chi diceva ti stimo e ti riverisco... molti compagni di fede sono più superstiziosi che buddisti...il buddismo è logica ...e l'unica logica è questa

Chanteo,todos los dias aunque sea un rato,y de inmediato siento la fuerza,a pesar de los obstaculos,sigo y los venzo,creo sin dudas,ahora estoy pasando momentos criticos, y se que podria resolverlos, solo renunciando al Gohonzon, y entrando al LDS Chruch, porque ellos tienen el control de esta ciudad en la que yo vivo SLC,Utah,pero yo soy BUDISTA, del Sutra del Loto,GRACIAS, por el video me ayuda a chantear. NAM MIOJO RENGE KYO.

The most important thing is to create a life to life relationship with Nichiren Daishonin, whose great desire for the absolute happiness of all beings is embodied in the Gohonzon. It is through this relationship, which implies studying his teachings and practicing them to the best of one's ability within the context of our lives just as they are, that one is sure to reveal the same life condition as he did. It is the ultimate philosophy of hope and victory bequeathed to all humanity.

I have been practicing Buddhism with the SGI since 1983. I am not sure that it is appropriate to film the Gohonzon and spread that image on the internet. I think it is more important to ask oneself, "Is the action that I am taking true to the spirit of the founder...does it further the cause of kosen rufu and lead others to enlightenment or does it create confusion about the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Daishonin?" "The Gohonzon is found in faith alone," writes the Daishonin.

i was courious about that also. It seems customary now a days to see the gohonzon on you tube and other sites, is this apppropriate?

certainly ... This is an image of gohonzon speculate ... gohonzon is true that we must protect ... as an image in the mirror is not living

..ti disturbo un'altra volta...Ovviamente non ho un gohonzon e neanche frequento un gruppo (purtroppo per ora sono un pò allergica a meeting e riunioni essendo stata "costretta" a farlo per anni..)..aiutami a capire:la parete bianca sostituirebbe il gohonzon..che in realtà è lo specchio di me stessa..della mia Buddità "latente"...recitando Daimoku "verso se stessi"(facile a dirsi..!!)..dato che il gohonzon è "dentro di noi" si può sperare di crescere anche senza il gohonzon FISICO?

se io ti dico- SIAMO TANTI SOLI- tu puoi comprendere il concetto di solitudine ma se vicino al mio dire ci metto una foto del sole tu comprendi cosa ti ho detto veramente...siamo tanti soli... la parete è un'attesa per la foto... il daimoku è il nostro dire la foto è il gohonzon... la pratica ha bisogno di supporti... intendo anche di chi è piu avanti.. so che si fanno incontri idioti tra i membri ma trovare un compagno di fede valido al principio è utile cme il gohonzon

Bello trovare un posto dove potersi confrontareavrei bisogno di qualche consiglio: Recito da un paio di mesi. Ho iniziato in un periodo buio e sinceram ho iniziato come 1 che annaspa per non affogare.. il GROSSO del problema si è risolto...subito! ora però vorrei affinare la tecnica e con essa i risultati: ad es.: meglio sempre recitare davanti ad una parete bianca o è lo stesso fissando il cielo o..lacqua di un lago?
Grazie per il video:passo molto tempo in ufficio e quando posso lo ascolto
waia68 3 years ago
se non hai il gohonzon la parete bianca o azzurra è l'indicazione ...però personalmente ebbi un beneficio che ha dell'incredibile recitando solo mentalmente prima di dormire...ma fu all'inizio ...in principio è forte la pratica dopo per la stessa forza devi lavorarci su...ti consiglio lo studio e il gohonzon... ovviamente anche i meeteng...poi personalizzerai il tutto... tutti abbiamo iniziato con un periodo buio...poi s'illumina:-)

è come uno specchio che riflette la nostra vera natura e come tale è fatto di materia ma la sua funzione,la sua importanza trascende di certo la materialità...i classici mandala tibetani sono fatti spesso cn la sabbia,cn materiali che nn durano e al termine della loro funzione vengono distrutti..è una cosa che dovrebbe far riflettere questa...

anche il gohonzon viene distrutto...oppure trasmesso a chi vuole ik proprietario...ma se non c'è nessuno va riconsegnato alla soka vje provvede a bruciarlo

ho letto che sei buddhista da tanto..spero che sarai anche tu concorde nel fatto che il significato e il potere del gohonzon vanno al di là del banale pezzo di carta...l'inestimabile valore dal gohonzon sta in quello che c'è scritto e quello che c'è scritto è la nostra buddità..quindi sostanzialmente ciò che è il gohonzon è noi stessi..
Kiaki87 3 years ago
il gohonzon ha la funzione di un mandala..nn è un feticcio..secondo me molte persone sono fuori strada..
Kiaki87 3 years ago
il gohonzon è un mandala... ma è anche uno specchio e una porta...si sa che le religioni sono interpretate con il proprio stato vitale e secondo il mondo prevalente... la superstizione è un mondo di avidità...spesso la gente vuole apparire e non essere...ci sono insegnamenti da studiare prima di poter avere autorevolezza...l'umilta è una chiave ma non è apprezzata... è l'uomo...o meglio l'umano che si accinge a diventare uomo... siamo tutti fuori all'inizio...no? :-)

abbiamo gia spiegato...davanti al gohonzon toda poteva infuriarsi ma davanti ad un video no di certo...solo uno stolto confonde il vero da un riflesso ... medita su te stesso credo tu abbia cose da chiarire ...quanto chi guarda il dito che indica la luna e non la luna
cla400 3 years ago
Sono molto d'accordo con te cia400!
Troppa gente ormai che pratica questo buddismo
guarda il dito che indica la luna e non la luna stessa...Questo non è buddismo,il vero buddismo
va oltre l'apparenza.Non sono queste le cose che contano.
