Temple for the Japanese.

Hello. It has become this blog last in the present days.I introduce the temple for Japanese people!

【What is the temple?】

There are a Buddha statue, the points which you should watch including the garden in the temple a lot. In addition, as for the way of enjoying including the pleasure to have an approach to a shrine walk and divine favor, there are three following streets.

１．  Buddhist mass such as a funeral, a visit to a grave, the Buddhist memorial service

２．  Prayer including a New Year's visit to a Shinto shrine and the exorcism

３． Sightseeing to appreciate a building, a Buddha statue, a garden３． Sightseeing to appreciate a building, a Buddha statue, a garden

The star of the temple is a Buddha statue. However, I may think, the person who just began Buddha statue watching "looks same even if I watch anything". However, it understands that it gets used a little to a Buddha statue that there is various form. In fact, there is an organization similar to a company in the world of the Buddha statue and has a different role in each. The Buddha statue watching becomes interesting suddenly when I understand it. Because the book for beginners appears about the kind and distinction of the Buddha statue in various ways, I will read it before outing. Because there is the thing of the size that is convenient for carrying, what I take on a trip of the temple circulation is recommended. I quite understand the world constitution and history of the Buddha statue when it circulates through some representative temples in Kyoto.The star of the temple is a Buddha statue.

【Let's have divine favor】

The present person thought that I appreciated the Buddha statue, but the Buddha statue prayed for an old person. After all, apart from the priest who trains itself to attain realization, as for the prayer for the commoner, divine favor is a purpose. When I greatly divide it into divine favor of Buddha and "can go to the Buddhists' paradise posthumously ," there are two kinds " few, to be able to find happiness in this world". Because there is various divine favor by a Buddha statue again by a temple, the person with a special wish should check it beforehand. For example, there is such a thing.

Easy delivery prayer, child, nursing, child care prayer

→ JYOUJIJI

Good luck good luck charm

→ ROKUZANNTENNKOUJI

In addition, it is distributed according to contents of a lot of prayer.

It is matchmaking to be particularly popular in divine favor. The temples granting a female oriented pretty lucky charm and votive tablet to increase these days, and there seems to be the person collecting a lucky charm. There are Naritasanshinshōji or this light temple.

The temple has many effects for Japanese in this way. From old days, I was considered that the temple was important. Therefore I conducted what kind of investigation with the temple between generations whether you placed it.

[for the Buddhist priest of the temple]

The person who went and worshiped when I compared it from old days decreased sharply. And there is the person that a way of the prayer is in a mess. However, the temple for the Japanese does not change from old days. If there are cares and a wish, I ask God. It is an examination and is sick, and easy delivery prayer or the love accomplishment vary. The temple changes nothing in old days. Even if the number of the worshipers decreases, we wait.

[Parent]

When there are some cares and wish, I go. However, I go to ask for that I can live safely every day in this way for New Year holidays. The temple is important for Japanese and thinks that you should protect it. When there are some cares and wish, I go.

[High school student]

I do not understand a way and Buddhism of the prayer well. However, I always say for New Year holidays. I think that a temple is necessary for Japanese.

The meaning of the temple for the Japanese may not change in comparison with old days. God of the temple where I lend the hand to when I keep our life and was troubled. I will want you to follow all the time all the time in future. The meaning of the temple for the Japanese may not change in comparison with old days.

I finish the blog of the temple in this. Thank you very much for having you read. I try English study hard from now on.

Good-bye.

The difference of religion – part 2 -

Hello.
It became this two more blog. A lot has been introduced for the temple until now. Is the merit of the temple transmitted? I would like to introduce as hard as possible as long as the two remaining weeks. I would like to introduce the Nichirenshu and the Jodoshu this time.

【Nichirenshu】

It is a mark of this Nichirenshu.

Kyoten　： Hokekyo　
Honzon　： Shakasama

About Nichirenshu
As for Shinzui in Okyo Shakasama was explained to be, all of "Hokekyo" and Hokekyo is collected by the empty slogan of "Namumyohorengekyo."
It aims at all relief with a life by extending this Hokekyo and empty slogan. If it is called Okyo, there are also many people who visualize "Namumyohorengekyo." However, it is coming from here. The number of temples is 5178 pieces and, as for the number of priests, 8275 persons and the number of believers of Nichiren are made into about 3,850,000 people.

[The fundamental way of having of Zuju]
It twists to the character type of 8 and hangs on the middle finger of both hands.
In that case, it has so that two may come to right-hand side and three fringes may come to left-hand side.

[The feature of Juzu]
As for Onenju of Nichirenshu, it is the feature that the fringe attaches three to two chiefs' one side.

【Jodoshu】

This is a mark of Jodoshu.

Shuso　： Honen
Kyoten　： Jodosanbukyo
Honzon　： Amida

Jodoshu is Soshi which is looking for Honenjonin with Shuso. Honen was born to present Okayama-ken about 860 years ago. Childhood was used and the father was lost. And it forsook the world with the instruction of a father, and reached Hiezan. And it studied. Then, if the Buddha is embraced, it will certainly be saved. This new instruction was hammered out in Kyubukkyo of those days. Therefore, various distress continued. only an aristocrat's Bukkyo -- a public sake -- this instruction to say spread all over Japan. Koushitsu-Kizoku -- including -- until it results in the general public widely -- this -- it saw, and wore out and came and be alike was saved. He has recommended for Honenjonin to wither in Namamidabutsu, whatever you may carry out. Work by calling it Namuamidabutsu. It is taught live in the Emperor's Signature of the Buddha. Since it was new religion as such an instruction spread, persecution was received by various things. Honenjonin has the hard decision not to stop only this instruction by any means expressed also with that time. Moreover, Namuamidabutsu which does not need to build a tomb although I die also when passing away   It said that I was certainly in the place to recite, and the strong belief was shown.

[The feature of Juzu]
A form which connected two rings with one in Jodoshu is the feature.

For male

For woman

Incidentally this is a mark of Shingonshu.

Is a strong resemblance to the school badge of Tsukuba Univercity born?

Thank you for reading.

Bye!

The difference of religion – part 1-

Tendaisyu and Singonsyu are known as religion contain element of esoteric Buddihism(this is MIKKYOU)

Right then, What kind of teaching will these two religion?

Moreover, each feature was summarized.

1,Tendaishu and Saicho

Kaiso: Saicho which is Denkyotaishi

Instruction:Houkaichijosetsu

It is the instruction based on Hokekyo "people can Jobutsu when anyone has and does his best in the element which gets used to the Buddha."

It can be said that it is characteristic to have the composition of having gathered the instruction of the typical Buddhist Schools in a lot of Japan. Probably, in addition to the instruction of Zen, etc., you may call it the synthetic Buddhist Schools where the instruction of esoteric Buddhism was also taken in. It was referred to as Daimitsu especially about the esoteric Buddhism of Tendaishu, Enjin and Enchin were established, and the form of the present Tendaishu was born.

The noted priests who studied Tendaishu

:Nichiren

:Hounen

:Shinran

Many otherwise noted priests founded each cult independently of there for Tendaishu.

2,Shingonshu and Kukai

Kaiso: Kukai

Instruction:Sokushinjobutsu

It can die in peace with this body that is valid now. Check Tainichinyorai in its own and it is united with it. That is, the state with which the Buddha and a one were united. Just this It is Sokushinjobutsu. Shingongyosha is practice of the body, a mouth, and the heart so that he can lead such a life -- it SanmitsugyoJissen.

3,The difference between Tendaishu and Shingoshu

　Tendaishu is a university. On the other hand, Shingoshu is existence like a college.Esoteric Buddhism is a secret instruction. Spiritual enlightenment of the Buddha which cannot be expressed with words at all is told with magic.That is, he cannot understand other than the pupil who faced each other a teacher and directly.It will become secret as a result. One of "Wanting you to lend the Buddhist scripture" is in one of the causes by which Kukai and Saicho broke.Also this "Can he understand only by reading the Buddhist scripture?It is based on the reason that fellow understands nothing."Tendaishu is the cult which aimed at systematization of the whole Buddhism. That is, various instructions are stuffed.

That occupies a center especially is the Buddhist scripture called Hokekyo. That is, if it learns by HiezanEnryakuji which is the Honzan, it will arrive at the instruction of either.It had played a role of a university in the literal meaning.There were also those who newly start a cult among graduate persons.

【Jodo】Jodoshu , Jodoshinshu

【Hoke】Nichirenshu

Except Hokekyo, Nichiren considers it as a wrong way and is known for having attacked other religions.However, Tendaishu is not contained in it.As for this, the core of Tendaishu is Hokekyo and the excessive thing is mixed.However, it is because it understands that Hokekyo is not necessarily neglected.

About Soryo -part2-

I would like to explain the method of the barrel sake of Soryo in this report.

The method set to Soryo

　There is no qualification required since it is set to Soryo. However, you have to receive the practice and the ceremony which each cult is preparing.

The ceremony called "Tokudo" by almost all cults occurs.This is the language of the meaning of having it permitted to go into Butumon. Unless it receives this, it cannot go into Butumon.Tokudo may need experience in the university of a Bukkyo system, or the faculty of a Bukkyo system.

The school of a Bukkyo system

 The university of many Bukkyo systems is located in Japan.There is also a faculty which studies Bukkyo specially. So those who want to be set to Soryo are good to aim at such schools. Generally, it can be set to Soryo after practice for about two years after the university graduate business of a Bukkyo system.

Practice for being set to Soryo

 In order to be set to Soryo, it is necessary to self-train by going into Butumon for several years fundamentally. It seems that the life under practice is severe. It rises at 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning. Meditation in Zen Buddhism, practice of the sutras, cleaning of a temple, etc. are performed. About the instruction about Bukkyo, he may study the historical contents etc. All mobile phones are confiscated fundamentally during practice.However, there is also a place which can contact a family, a friend, and a sweetheart by a letter etc. After getting thorough training, it will work as Soryo in a temple.

Knowledge for being set to Soryo

　A faith is indispensable in order to be set to Soryo. Although views differ for every cult, it is necessary to believe the instruction of Bukkyo and to explain it intelligibly also for ordinary persons. There is also an opportunity to carry out philosophical study, such as life, a life, death.
