Hi good people, happy weekend,
This is sort of a follow up to yesterday's blog on why I am a Nichiren Buddist in my spiritual life. AND have never been so HAPPY. Here is a snippet to explain a bit further.
Nichiren's Buddhist teachings appeals to man to be noble, pure, and charitable, NOT in order to please any supreme being, but in order to be TRUE to the highest in himself.
When it comes to refraining from lying, cheating, over-indulging in stimulants, unlike western religion regarding sin and virtue, where "thou shalt or shalt not" as commandments, Buddhism merely counsels, "It is better to or better not to" but leaves it up to individual choice and who remains free to verify, through his own experience, the wisdom of these suggestions.
The Universal Law of Cause and Effect comes totally into play in all lives, DAILY. Cheers. CJ
