What do you think about “faith regardless of denomination”?

Among Kanzeon Fumonpin in the Lotus Sutra, it is said that Kanzeon Bosatsu changes his appearance in various ways to preach the teachings of the Buddha.
Those who submit to Brahmin and listen to their teachings appear in the form of Brahmin, and those who submit to the Hindu god and listen to the teachings are in the form of a Hindu god... they change their appearance infinitely to respond to the listener's saucer and preach the teachings of the Buddha.
If so, it is important to listen to the Buddha's teachings in various situations regardless of denomination.
On the other hand, rather than listening to Buddha's teachings, there are also cases where you simply enjoy “something like Buddhism” as an event. There's nothing wrong with that, but from the point of view of people who practice it exclusively, how serious is it? There may also be cases where it seems strange.
In any case, unless you practice as a monk of that sect, no matter how an individual is involved in the teachings of the Buddha, that is not a mistake.

Well, it's Buddha's teaching to let go of obsessions in the first place, so I don't think it's wrong.
Although I am a member of the Jodo sect, I like to read both the Agon Sutra and the Hokke Sutra, and I have a deep feeling that I would like to learn zazen and yoga if I had the chance.

I think what is important for followers of the Jodo sect to believe in is that after all, they can be taken to the Pure Land of Paradise after their lives have run out.
That's why they chant nembutsu, isn't it?
Therefore, it would be a good idea to believe in Amitabha when it comes to that.

Other things, such as wisdom for living, I think the Buddha's teachings will be very helpful.
Also, it is a custom for Japanese people to pray for worldly benefits to the eight million gods.
I think it's okay to believe in so many gods and Buddhas.

I told my parishioners, “It's very important to experience various denominations and spread the word. But try to balance your family's denomination with your personal beliefs. Of course, it's great if your family's denomination matches your personal beliefs, and it's also easy.” I'm talking about it.
I'm not in the Jodo sect or Esoteric Buddhism, so I don't know if Yuen Kanjo is going too far. However, some of my parishioners said they attended a religious ceremony at Koyasan, but the funeral was in our Zen sect.
I myself was a short-term monk in the Theravada. I've already given up on it.

Now, there are people who change their purpose from house to house just because they personally like the ◯◯ sect, but this is selfish. This is because the people who actually make memorial services after their death are families and relatives left behind. Imposing one's own preferences without even thinking about those people's feelings is egocentric, regardless of whether those people can sincerely put their hands together and share their thoughts. Family rituals and family rituals must be thought about after thorough communication. It becomes a society where connections between people are weak due to accumulation without even thinking about such things.

However, on the other hand, the personal belief that those getting married or entering a son-in-law want to cherish the faith of their parents' home should also be respected. Or I was able to meet a monk from another denomination that I could respect! I want to surrender to that person! If there is such a thing, it is more wonderful than anything else, and I want people to be greedy for such encounters.

If we come to terms in a place like this, this sect will worship it as a family festival. That denomination is something I personally have a relationship with and believe in. I'm also a little interested in that denomination, so I'm studying. I recommend dividing both externally and internally in this way.

Damn it, people in the olden days were much freer. Since there were no crowds in the countryside in the days when there were no automobiles or railways, they helped with memorial services and funerals across denominations. Even now, when I go to mountainous areas of the region, there are places where relationships remain due to the remnants of that remnant. Almost all of the so-called ancestors of Kamakura Buddhism are also from Mount Hiei. Since academics started saying “religion is taboo” in the 20th century, it became a cramped world where everyone looked for taboos with each other, no, that was no good.

I don't have a denomination.
In the notation, it is described as the Soto sect, but if you pursue religion or denomination, you can see that there is no denomination.
Did Buddha have any denominations?
What kind of Buddhist words were they using?
Was there such a thing as Buddhist thought?
Buddhism isn't even a religion in the deep sense of the word.
In other words, it is a religion within a religion that is bound by the ideas of thought groups called religions around the world, and is not even bound by entrapment.
However, it is necessary to understand and understand the true meaning of Buddhism.
Simply put, supermarkets and convenience stores accept customers without any hesitation.
There are also differences and refusals to accept Buddhist groups and thought groups.
People of various religions and ideas gathered under the Buddha to ask for teachings.
We are also not separated.
There was a fight between udon, soba, ramen, and pasta, and they were all noodles.
People who drown in titles, meanings, and thoughts tend to think that each denomination is different. If Buddhists thought like that, the founders of each denomination would cry.
Rather than saying that there are sectarian divisions in the world, it is good to remember that there are people who are bound by ideas that have unique interpretations of the teachings of Buddha and their ancestors in their own way.
A monk named Dogen explained that the Soto sect need not be called the Soto sect or the Zen sect, ignoring the fact that the Buddhist world is bound.
It is Buddhism that saves everyone equally.
There is no such thing in Buddhism that a person cannot be saved because of a different denomination.
Eyes are opened by understanding the reason for what is right, and blind faith, even when called faith, is toxic to the body. It is only through proper understanding that one awakens to faith without fantasy or delusions.
The beliefs of all denominations can be said to be beliefs that make people aware of their true self from a certain aspect.
This is because if you reflect on the self deepened by faith as proof of that, it becomes clear that it is a pure and innocent self without any denominational label attached to it.
That true self, the revealed self, is later expressed in situations and boundaries that are ideals for each sect, such as Buddha or Buddhism.
That road and this road both aim for the top of the same mountain.
It's good to know the many ways.

Dear Kentarou

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Denominations are an afterthought, and since there were no denominations originally, I think it basically doesn't matter if you learn the teachings of Shakyamuni and then practice.

To be honest, there are times when you don't know which of Shakyamuni's good, clever, and convenient ones are right for you unless you add them one by one, and furthermore, I think there are things you can gradually accept.

In fact, there was a negative way of thinking about esoteric Buddhism until a time when I had a bad time, but now I am working more diligently every day to practice the Mujō Yoga Tantra in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism.

Anyway, what I want you to value most is the “Bodhi Heart.”

I want to work hard on Buddhism every day with a “Bodhi Heart,” which is a strong desire to gain enlightenment in order to eventually be able to save everyone.

Let's work hard together.
