Cheap Airfare Buddhism originated in India in the 6th century BC. It consists of the teachings of the Buddha, Gautama Siddhartha. Its central theories are that human life is full of suffering due to worldly desires, illness, death and the loss of loved ones. By getting rid of desires and attachments, one can achieve the state of enlightenment (Nirvana) and escape suffering and the circle of reincarnations. Buddhism was imported to Japan in 538 or 552 in form of a present from the king of the friendly Korean kingdom of Kudara (or Paikche). The new religion was welcomed by the ruling nobles while the common people did not understand its complex theories. After a few conflicts with the native religion Shinto , the two religions soon were able to co-exist harmonically and even complemented each other.

Search Buddhism Resources Critical Thinkers Brin Chomsky Buddhism on other pages Buddhism in the National Capital of Canada One of the internet's enduring websites and a very good resource, inlcuding locally maintained information such as the Buddhism FAQ. For example, "Do Buddhists believe in God?" Theists, agnostics and atheists are all welcome within Buddhism (and in this group); Buddhists make up their own minds about the existence or nonexistence of deities, if they get around to it. Some people find this question uninteresting, feeling that neither a 'yes' nor a 'no' answer contributes meaningfully to the elimination of suffering. Access to Insight :: Readings in Theravada Buddhism There are two major streams of Buddhism. The earliest Theravada (meaning "Doctrine of the elders"), is based on texts (sutras) written in the Pali language very close to that spoken by Buddha. This site, an excellent Theravada resource, includes translations of the Pali canon and a good history of Theravada . An excerpt of that history: Owing to its historical dominance in southern Asia (Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Burma), Theravada is also identified as "Southern Buddhism," in contrast to "Northern Buddhism," which migrated northwards from India into China, Tibet, Japan, and Korea. Theravada is often equated with "Hinayana" (the "Lesser Vehicle"), in contrast to "Mahayana" (the "Greater Vehicle"), which is usually a synonym for Zen, Ch'an, and other expressions of Northern Buddhism. The use of "Hinayana" as a pejorative has its origins in the early schisms within the monastic community that ultimately led to the emergence of what would later become Mahayana. Today scholars of many persuasions use the term "Hinayana" without pejorative intent...

Tendai Lotus Teachings in cooperation with Mount Hiei, Japan W e welcome you to peer within the Japanese Tendai Buddhist School, as transmitted from its Chief Temple atop Mount Hie, Japan. Through a proven method of human actualization, the Tendai Lotus Teachings have for years brought Awakening to humankind. These teachings are presented here in new fashion to Western seekers in hopes of expanding the evolutionary development of the Tendai Sect. Through embarking upon the Lotus Path, Tendai practitioners are investigating the constituents of their own Minds, discovering that our highest potential rests inherent within us as a Jewel Seed, a realizable asset with which to bring about our own Awakening and Realization. The Founder of the Japanese Tendai Denomination remarked that " The aspiration for enlightenment is a treasure, and those who aspire for enlightenment are the treasure of the nation.

Mo-ho chih-kuan The Mo-ho chih-kuan (Great treatise on cessation-and-contemplation; T #1911, 46.1-140, in ten fascicles) is one of the major works by Chih-i (538-597), the founder of the T'ien-t'ai school of Buddhism. It is one of the most influencial works of East Asian Buddhism, containing a comprehensive treatment of the teachings and practices of the Buddha Dharma, with a focus on the theory of Buddhist practice. Status of the project : In 1990 Kosei Shuppansha, the publishing arm of Rissho Koseikai, initiated a project to translate the Mo-ho chih-kuan into Western languages. As of August 1999, first draft translations into English have advanced to the end of the seventh fascicle (T 46.101). Work is focussing now on preparing a "provisional printing" ( kari-shuppan ) of the first four fascicles (T 46.1-48). Some electronic files will be added to this site as a "service" to the academic community and in response to frequent inquiries concerning the status of the translation. The files can be downloaded, displayed, and printed with Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available for free (see instructions below). Note that the files are in various stages of preparation; the glossaries in particular are under constant revision and modification. Comments, corrections, and constructive criticism are welcome; please send messages to "pswanson@nanzan-u.ac.jp". Partial annotated translation of the Mo-ho chih-kuan

Hou-u: Dharma Rain Vol. 1, No. 2 The Challenge of Hizou-Hizoku (Neither Priest Nor Layperson) by Reverend Marvin Harada (Orange County Buddhist Church) Originally published in "Korin," July, 1991 Of the many words and teachings that Shinran Shonin has left us, perhaps one of the most central and important messages is his statement that he was "Neither Priest Nor Layman." This statement occurred in a certain historical context that needs background explanation. Shinran’s early years of life were spent training and practicing Tendai Buddhism on Mt. Hiei, the established monastery and center for Buddhist learning near Kyoto. At that time, of course, there was no sect of Buddhism as Jodo Shinshu, and Shinran practiced a very arduous form of Buddhist discipline that requires a monastic lifestyle. Shinran became a monk from around the age of nine, and practiced on Mt. Hiei until the age of twenty-nine. Tendai Buddhism and its practices still exist, even to this day, and monks are still carrying out the difficult disciplines to enlightenment that Tendai Buddhism prescribes. Some of these practices are unbelievably difficult. One in particular, called
