QUESTION...WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR RELIGION...example...The Catholics were not satisfied with the Jewish
Question...Howmany different names of christian religions do you know of, Some last, some don't...how many different religious groups do you believe is on your tv listings ir you can get hunddreds of channels today?
about how many last...Like I believe the most successful ones the tmmy bakr andher husband, he went to prison and she marride his close friend but they never got back on top...the original tv super star i believe he bit the dust because he kept getting caught wit postutes until the please fore give me, I have sined (again) was preyed one too man times.
the cristal palace of shuller's i believe he went broke trying to break int politica...T.D Jakes i never even count since he has noting in his name.
We are Budshist but we have no god of Buddah...the original Budda was a manseeking ow t o be happy with all of the suffring that come with birth, sickness, old age and death.... and all of his teacings taught this but after he died making statues brought in so much money he became a God...Buddism is a spin off of the Siek religion as all religions start some place to fill a social void and in many case to bring order outof choas...
We have members in 192 nations and numbers in around 60 70 millions since it began, again in the 30s in Japan.a nation with only one state religion Shintoin this hihly matilartistic nation where the Empore was still considered a man God at the time...yes to begin this religion in japan after afew hundreds of years was a sucide mission. It was a religion of the poor sand the needy so in a way was over looked as the threat to Shinto if it remained small and in homes but growing brought death to those who refuse to denounce their faith even in the 1940...Tsunesaburo makiguchi who began the practice again in japan did die in prison from torture, lack of food and lackof medical care....Buddhist born in America cound and did get their American citizen taken from them...in the 1920s...
as we tend to not allow truth stand in our way it had a lot to do with ww2. we became a legal religion in America under JFK...The very top person in our practice we call president...president DAISKU IKEDA.He is an educater, poet, authorofmany, many, manybookd and a professional photograper. In the past 60 years there have been almost no kings,queens, president, dictators or leader large AND SMALL on the planet he has not dialogued with from Mandlal to Castro and poets and teachers...he has so many, many honor degrees and awards from nations to even mention...why not a Nobel Peace prize...he would never do anyting that would put him or this practice in the lime light like this ...I believe Tina Turner is the only entertainer who will say any time any place she practices this Buddhism and she is the only one I know does this,,,nor does Woopi Goldburg do it or the leading male star on Dallas.
lol!!!...It has to do with karma- In Nichiren Buddhism karma is based on the law of cause and effect. Karma is a varation of the sanskirt word karman, which means 'act' of 'action'.Karma is the acculation of causes made in the past. These causes resides in the inner realmm of life as potential energies until the cicumstances are ripe for them to manifest as effects.Karam is created though thoughts, words and deeds. Karma can also describe our deluded tendenies that exert an influence- positive, neutral or negative- on our lives
Nichiren Buddhism teaches that Karam can be tansformed through overcoming delusions, taking action and, above all, chanting nam-myoho-rengo-kyo.(C&E)

Hello Ms. Daishonin,
That is a great question. So, what do you know about YOUR religion? I don’t mean what you know about other people’s religion. I mean what you know about YOUR own religion.
All religions are given to the people by their very own prophet. Prophet Abraham gave Judaism to the Jewish people. Prophet Mohammed gave Islam to his Arabian people.
