Some goodies of Buddhism in a nutshell
One of the most important things that the book on Buddhism teaches is learn to unlearn. You don’t learn everything methodically, you don’t understand everything with schemes and lessons. Life is also learned when we abandon ourselves, when we believe we are not learning anything. When we are outside the conventional environments appointed to teach us “something”.
Another important aspect is learn to understand how functional and rich in quality we are inside us. However, we often don’t know how exploit, or how to bring out. Learning to accept ourselves, to listen to us and believe in ourselves without ever losing the connection with others. Buddhism and in particular, Nam myoho renge kyo, serve to reactivate this connection.
The Nam myoho renge kyo it’s a mantra, a phrase in ancient Chinese, “Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra“, Or the main teachings of Siddhartha. Nichiren Daishonin in the Middle Ages he argued that the recitation of this sentence could encompass all the principles of Buddhism, which is why it is paradigmatically used to identify such a complex practice.
