"But unfortunately Nichiren Shu doesn't teach the whole heart of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism."

There are many schools of thought on this subject. Saying one's school's teaching is incomplete or incorrect implies your school has the only correct interpretation. This is an arrogant view which can only result in intolerance toward others and continued divisiveness in the world of Buddhism.

We must lessen any conflicts under the name of religion and achieve a peaceful world.

[Shikimyo]

Nichiren Shu absolutely teaches the correct path of the Lotus Sutra and the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni. There are many who gravely misunderstand Nichiren's teachings and have incorrectly called him a "True Buddha". Nichiren Shu, along with other orthodox Nichiren schools, correctly teaches what is in the Lotus Sutra and in Nichiren Shonins writings. Please read Kanjin Honzon Sho or Kaimoku Sho to better understand the correct teahcings of Nichiren.

Do you practice the Dhammapada and if so what does the practice consist of?

@marellamofo

@marellamofo Up to you whether you read more widely or not. There's no "should do" about it. And you certainly wont be alone amongst Nichiren practitioners in not doing so. Only in my experience there's not only The Law , but much wisdom to be gained in reading the sutras more widely. The Dhammapada is a good starting point. Not least because the title itself means the same thing as The Law. But it really is entirely all your decision.

@essexccc

Nichiren read other sutras in order to deciphor the truth. He knew the Law of NMRK was in all of the sutras. However those sutras only talked about the Law in bits and pieces. Nichiren declared that the Lotus Sutra for the first time revealed the Law in it's entirety. My point is why should I read other sutras that only give you bits and pieces of the Law? I liken this to an English speaking adult who still reads kindergarten level of English in order to understand the language.

Certainly study does help deepen our faith and bolster our practice. It really isn't such a bad thing to do study other sutras apart from the Lotus Sutra either (Nichiren Daishonin certainly did). Especially if one already has encountered the highest teaching - we can find the Law of NMRK in them all.

@essexccc

I thought you meant for me to research the buddhist text and scriptures of other buddhist sects. If you are talking about Faith, Practice and Study based on Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism that allows me to deepen my faith in the NMRK and the Gohonzon, then absoulutely F.P.&S is essential. However I don't need to understand what I am studying in order to experience the power of NMRK.

@marellamofo

The key to rounded Buddhist development is Faith, Practice and Study. Take away any of those three and we are like a plane trying to fly with one or more wing missing. Study is an integerall part as it helps understand

what is happening. We need a balanced approach : even though NMRK is the essential component to "tapping into" our inherent Buddha nature.

[marellamofo]

@essexccc

My point is that we do not have to be a buddhist monk or a buddhist scholar in order to understand the state of buddhahood. We do not have to have a deeper understanding of what all the buddhist sutras are about. All we need to do is chant NMRK and we will experience and develop the buddha nature that we already have. WHY SHOULD I RESEARCH? Do we have to be an automobile machanic in order for us to drive a car? NO!! Just give me the keys to the ignition. NMRK IS THE KEY.

I am a SGI member. I do not apologize. There is nothing Japanese about me. I am an American who had the great fortune to be introduced to NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO. Are you saying that because Nichiren Buddhism origins are Japanese then somehow there is fault in the validity of it's teachings? Albert Einstein was considered to be a crazy nut when he introduced the theory of "RELATIVITY". Well that theory was proven to be true. Did he being German have anything to do with what was proven?

[Shikimyo]

@marellamofo It is evident that you are simply a SGI apologist. Nothing more can be said to you because you believe in and practice adharma; rejecting the Three Jewels only to replace it with Japanese nationalist views is pitiable.
