Shin Buddhism Network Welcome: The purpose and mission of this publication is to share information concerning Shin Buddhist Tradition and Pure Land Buddhism as it is presently practiced and interpreted by Shin communities in the West and Japan. Research materials will be made available and questions from respondents will be entertained. Introduction: Shin Buddhism was initiated by Shinran (1173-1263) in Japan. His teaching was based in the Pure Land tradition as a successor to Honen (1133-1212). Shinran developed the teaching by maintaining that faith, endowed by Amida Buddha, assured enlightentment. All religious practices, particularly the recitation of the name of the Buddha, expressed gratitude rather than achieved purification. The institutions which evolved from his teaching are called Jodo Shinshu (True teaching/sect of the Pure Land [tradition]). The Nishi (West) Honganji and Higashi (East) Honganji are the largest bodies in this tradition. What's New!

Buddhism is an ancient tradition, a spiritual path, which was discovered nearly two thousand six hundred years ago by the great sage, Buddha Shakyamuni. He was born circa 563 BC in Lumbini which is in modern-day Nepal. At the age of 29, he left his wife, child and political involvements in order to seek truth. It was an accepted practice at the time for some men to leave their family and lead the life of an ascetic. He studied Brahmanism, but ultimately rejected it. In 535 BC, he attained enlightenment and assumed the title Buddha ( one who has awakened ). Due to the commitment and dedication of devout Buddhists, this gentle religion has grown in the present world un-marred by any political or religious fervours which so many other traditions have suffered from in the past.

The Giant Panda Buddhism "Awakened One" (Buddha): Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who would one day be known as the Buddha, began his life as a prince in a kingdom in ancient India. Prince Gautama (Buddha) was born about 553 BCE. He had parents who loved him, many servants to wait on him, the finest clothes, and a different palace for each season of the year. Yet, he found his world full of suffering. It upset him that painful old age, sickness, and death were all part of life in this world. One day, he met a monk. He was amazed that this monk could find calm and peace in a world filled with such sufferings. That day he made a very difficult decision. He decided to leave his wealth, his comfort, his wife, and his newborn son, to become a monk. For the next six years he traveled throughout India. But the answers he found were not enough. One day, while sitting under a fig tree, an understanding came to him. This understanding was a way to end suffering. That was the day Prince Siddhartha Gautama began to earn a new title, the Buddha, which means "Awakened One".

Brief History of Buddhism The origin of the Buddhist tradition can be traced back to the year 563 BCE, the birth of Siddhartha Gautama. He was the son of a wealthy land owner and destined to be a respected leader of his land. Siddhartha's birth was a mysterious one, he was placed inside of the womb of his mother as a white elephant and born out of her side ten months later. When Siddhartha was an infant, a wise scholar immediately noticed the 32 auspicious signs of an enlightened one. Siddhartha's father, fearful that he would lead the life of an ascetic , rather than a king, endeavored to protect his son from the painful realities of life. He kept Siddhartha confined to the grounds of his estate, far away from pain, old age, death and tragedy. On three occasions, though, Siddhartha managed to leave the confines of the estate and witnessed several scenes that changed the meaning of his existence. He saw an old man, a sick woman, and a corpse being burned during a Ghat ceremony. He was troubled by these images, but did not understand his calling until he saw a Jain ascetic begging for alms in the city square. It was then that he realized that there was meaning beyond physical existence. He gave up all of his worldly goods and left his family in search of

Mandalay, Myanmar Religion: Buddhism Photograph by James L. Stanfield A young boy in Mandalay, Myanmar, receives his robes during a shinbyu ceremony marking his initiation as a novice Buddhist monk. Boys generally remain monks for several weeks or months and then return to a normal lifestyle. An offshoot of Hinduism , Buddhism is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama , who was born into a noble family around 563 B.C. On four separate occasions reality challenged Gautama's sheltered ideals. After seeing an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a wandering holy man, Gautama left his family and assumed a life of wandering while he questioned life. According to legend, Gautama, while sitting alone under a banyan tree, passed through the four stages of meditative trance, attained enlightenment, and thereafter began to teach. Called Buddha ("Enlightened One") , Gautama did not claim to be divine, and he did not receive revelation from a higher being. He taught the Four Noble Truths : Life is filled with anguish. Clinging to or seeking permanence in a world where all things change leads to anguish. Nirvana (the end of suffering) exists. And the Eightfold Path leads to nirvana and breaks the cycle of death and rebirth. The Eightfold Path forbids theft, lying, strong drink, sexual promiscuity, and killing. It also stresses that no harm be done to any creature.

Frequently Asked Questions from alt.zen What's in this FAQ? What is Zen? (the simple question) What is Zen? (the real question) Why do people post such nonsense to this group? Instructions for the practice of zazen (sitting meditation) ... About this FAQ (editors note) What is Zen? (the simple question) Zen is short for Zen Buddhism. It is sometimes called a religion and sometimes called a philosophy. Choose whichever term you prefer; it simply doesn't matter. Historically, Zen Buddhism originates in the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. Around 500 B.C. he was a prince in what is now India. At the age of 29, deeply troubled by the suffering he saw around him, he renounced his privileged life to seek understanding. After 6 years of struggling as an ascetic he finally achieved Enlightenment at age 35. After this he was known as the Buddha (meaning roughly "one who is awake"). In a nutshell, he realized that everything is subject to change and that suffering and discontentment are the result of attachment to circumstances and things which, by their nature, are impermanent. By ridding oneself of these attachments, including attachment to the false notion of self or "I", one can be free of suffering. The teachings of the Buddha have, to this day, been passed down from teacher to student. Around 475 A.D. one of these teachers, Bodhidharma, traveled from India to China and introduced the teachings of the Buddha there. In China Buddhism mingled with Taoism. The result of this mingling was the Ch'an School of Buddhism. Around 1200 A.D. Ch'an Buddhism spread from China to Japan where it is called (at least in translation) Zen Buddhism.

Indian Religions : Buddhism BUDDHISM Gautama or Siddhartha (566-486 B.C), who later came to be known as the Buddha or 'The Enlightened One' was born into a wealthy Kshatriya family, in Lumbini, at the foothills of Nepal. He founded the religion of Buddhism after he attained true wisdom under a pipal tree at Bodhgaya. Buddha delivered his first public address at Sarnath Deer park in Benares, where he spoke of the four noble truths which are, (i) the world is full of suffering (ii) suffering is caused by desire (iii) suffering can be removed (iv) in order to remove suffering one has to overcome desire. According to Buddha these noble truths can be achieved by following the 'eight fold path', comprising of: 1. Right view. 2. Right thought. 3. Right speech. 4. Right action. 5. Right livelihood. 6. Right effort. 7. Right mindfulness.
