Extractions: 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. During the Nara period , the great Buddhist monasteries in Nara , for example the Todaiji, gained strong political influence which was one of the reasons for the government to move the capital first to Nagaoka (784) and then to Kyoto (794). Nevertheless, the problem of politically ambitious and even militant monasteries remained a main issue for the governments during many centuries of

Extractions: The Colgate Scene March 2002 Table of contents Key to the Universe In his new book, Woody Hochswender '72 shows how "practical Buddhism" can make your world better by Sally Baker For most Westerners, Buddhism is largely a mystery. It is monks in saffron robes living in quiet isolation. It is a religion whose ultimate goal reached through years or even lifetimes of stringent self-denial is personal enlightenment and inner peace. It seems to have no place in the day-to-day lives of those who race from a snatched breakfast to a 10-hour workday to the kids' soccer practice to housework to bed. Woody Hochswender '72, coauthor, with Greg Martin and Ted Morino, of The Buddha in Your Mirror: Practical Buddhism and the Search for Self (Middleway Press 2001), means not only to dislodge our notions of Buddhism itself but also to show us how its practice can fit into and vastly improve our lives and those of everyone around us. It apparently is a message many people want to receive: the book is in its fourth printing, is being translated into Spanish and Korean and has appeared on the Boston Globe and New York Post bestseller lists. It also has been on the Barnes and Noble "Top 100" list for several months.

http://ftworthbuddhas.tripod.com/fwbuddhaspage/id3.html

Extractions: How many types of Buddhism are there? Just as there are many sects of Christianity, so there are also many types of Buddhism. The most well-known in America are Zen, Mahayana (in which there are also many sub-branches), Theravada, and Tibetan. Vietnamese Buddhism is also established in some parts of the country. Even within Nichiren Buddhism, there are many sects. How is Nichiren Buddhism different from any other? The most obvious element unique to Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is the emphasis on chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge Kyo. In 13th century Japan, Nichiren saw that people combined all sorts of religious practices, not only Buddhist, but Confucian and Shinto. He believed that there was only one true way to practice Buddhism correctly. He set out to study all the sects and learn as much as he could to prove his theory.
