- From Siddharta's teachings were born different
schools which became fixed in different countries at different periods of time.
I, personally chose the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin, the Japanese one (I
won't explain his life and won't quote his teachings here because you will find
many websites which will do it). Some schools have however overshadowed the
importance of someone who was at the basis of this philosophy, Gautama
Siddharta or Shakyamuni. I don't want to list historical events but through my
different experiences and meetings, I realized that being a Buddhist is
different, according to people, countries, customs and religious beliefs of the
time. Shakyamuni didn't give the "correct" procedure for everyone to follow, he
gave numerous teachings which were adopted in different countries. However, from
all his teachings, one came out, the "Lotus Sutra", which is apparently the most
important of his teachings. In this Sutra, according to Nichiren's Buddhism, one
can read 2 chapters, "Hoben" and "Juryo". For a long time, I chanted Hoben until
" Nyo se hon mak ku kyo to" and I discovered some passages of this chapter had
been taken out, I don't know why, for one can read at the end of Hoben ..."
Mu u yo jo. Yui ichi butsu jo", which means there's only one teaching
and not many teachings of the Buddha. That's why I decided to give you Hoben as
a whole. All the other links and are also very important.
