I want to learn Buddhism.

is that so? Buddhism is the foundation of my mind for a lost and troubled life, questioning the wisdom of living and the way I live.
If you want to know, learn, or feel, please come across that relationship.

If you have been in the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school for generations, it would be a good idea to first know its teachings or touch the salvation of Namu Amida Buddha ◎
As you look at your life, it would be nice to think about what your ancestors thought and put their hands together.

Let's nenbutsu together ('`*)

　Speaking of “Buddhism,” “well, which denomination should I choose?” What makes me think is actually a phenomenon unique to Japan.

In Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, Buddhism is practiced according to the teachings of Shakyamuni before it was divided into sects, and there are no denominations.

There are denominations in Taiwan and Korea for the time being, but they are in good contact with each other, and eventually they come together into one or two large denominations.

Only in Japan, the teachings and manners are scattered by denomination, so it's not easy to put them together.

It's still good that it doesn't come together, but there are sects where the teachings are centered around the teachings of the founder of one's own sect, and there are sects that can't even reach the Buddhist teachings of Shakyamuni.

Moreover, unfortunately, there is still almost no such thing as the “Buddhism” sect before it was divided into sects in Japan. The Japan Therawada Buddhist Association by Elder Sumanasara is trying its best to remove the sectarian smell and convey only “Buddhism” to Japanese people.

If you choose a denomination, you'd better aim to learn the teachings of that denomination. If you want to learn “Buddhism,” I think it's a good idea to first search for books at bookstores or the like (Elder Sumanasara is the most accurate and easiest to understand), or go to a place that has a proper Buddhist point of view, no matter what denomination a monk is from.

All of these are Buddha's teachings, so denomination doesn't matter. It's a relationship after all, isn't it? I'm sorry for the miso in the foreground, but please take a look at the puja that can be viewed on the internet. http://taosangha.com/2018/04/05/houwa-1/

Whether it's a temple that's easy to go to, or a family temple, anywhere you feel connected to, it's fine. If you don't think it's a good fit, then you can leave.

As for denominations, the high priests that have left their mark on history, such as Kukai, Dogen, and Shinran, are all people who have correctly left Buddhism in Japan, so it's fine to use the sect you think suits you.

Other than Japanese Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism is also good in the Mahayana Buddhism (Buddhism that aspires to be a Bodhisattva) system. I think you'll also find lots of law friends.

Therawada Buddhism is also actively holding meditation sessions, etc., so I've never participated, but I often hear voices saying that I'm glad I participated.

If you want to learn from books by Buddhist scholars, I personally recommend books by Michiko Ishitobi. In terms of depth of hermeneutical understanding of Buddhism, it is by far the best. Other than this person, I know no other Buddhist scholar who follows the teachings preached by Shakyamuni and Ryuki, and can also call all of Kukai, Dogen, and Shinran “geniuses.” This person's influence made me completely unable to leave Buddhism lol

well then.

You came into contact with the Buddha's teachings, and you felt that this might be salvation.
It's the same for me.

It is said that you didn't understand the meaning of the book, but that wasn't a lack of knowledge; it was just that you didn't have a relationship with the book.

The streets are full of Buddhist books about the number of stars.
The book waiting for you must be sleeping somewhere.
It might be a good idea to stop by a bookstore while taking a walk and be asked to meet someone.

You can decide which denomination you want, and if you don't think so, you don't have to decide.

Therefore, it is up to you to decide whether or not to become the temple denomination that will participate in the Shakyo-kai.
I am a member of the Ji sect, and I often go to temples of other denominations to pray as a general worshiper, and I also go to shakyo parties without revealing my status in particular.

It's not against the rules or anything.
I simply want to touch the Buddha.

Temples are difficult, aren't they?
That's why, and even more so...

Please relax and naturally interact with Buddhism.
I think there is something called peace of mind there.
