Why are there multiple types of Buddha?

The model for Nyorai is Buddha. As I learned in class, are there multiple types of Buddha even though there is only one Buddha in this world? There is also Buddha Buddha inside, and my head is confused. Can you tell me about it?

Is Jushiro Hijikata's model slightly different from the “model” by Hijikata Toshizo

It is said that it is not modeled after the life or personality of the Buddha, but rather the appearance of the Buddha.

Bodhisattva → “The model is the Buddha's appearance before becoming a monk (when he was a prince)”
Against that
Nyorai → “The model is the appearance of Buddha after attaining enlightenment (after becoming a monk)”

It's like that. Bodhisattvas have jagged accessories, and (although there are exceptions), the Buddha wears quiet clothes, right? That's about the extent of the story. Even if it's not Butchake Nyorai, the monk's costume is modeled after Buddha's clothes. It's also a similar term, isn't it? So it doesn't matter how many types there are.

However, since Nyorai expresses the state of the world with metaphors (analogies), he doesn't feel like a character in a Buddhist story. I'll post a link just for touch, but it probably won't be until I go to college that I can learn this area ↓ at school.

Therefore, based on the Buddha's appearance, it has been characterized as various analogies. Even if the Buddha's appearance is a model, the Buddha's attire and figure are not necessarily completely equal to the attire and appearance of Nyorai.

I'll put this on too. See the “Flag Colors” section.

In this way, Nyorai symbolizes everything from the shape of hands, possessions, and pores. Even though I was asked specifically, I forgot all of them (← hey!!!)

For so many people to be saved.

Good evening. My name is Kameyama Junshi.

A nyorai is someone who came from the world of truth to teach us the truth of Buddhism. I mean, teacher. There are probably a variety of teachers. I feel like a scary teacher, a strict teacher, a kind teacher, an interesting teacher, and a teacher who is good at teaching. Also, since there are various teachers, many students can grow. For Mr. A, it would be better to have strict teachers give careful guidance, and on the other hand, since Mr. B can't study very well, it would be better to have a teacher who is good at teaching. Just like that, many people are saved because there are various types of Buddha in the Buddha. I think it would be a good idea to do some research on the various types of Buddha. Among them, it would be great if I could find a Buddha that suits me.

This is because “nyorai” means “one who has attained enlightenment and reached the truth,” and it is not a word that only indicates Buddha.

The Buddha who is originally in my body and mind

“ah”
A lot of people stand outside when it comes to Buddha.
But I really don't think so.
I have to take matters into my own hands.
Just as all senses, phenomena, and psychological effects come and go.
Just like the past.
“A,” which I had seen at the beginning until now, is a past effect that has already passed.
So now I'm looking at this number called “12345.”
The numbers appear in this body.
“I”
When I look at these characters, I pass by both “A” and “12345” and “I.”
There is just such a thing as “I”.
Your ears are the sounds you hear in the space you are in.
A sound that can be heard in a radius of about a few meters appears above your body and mind.
It's as if every breath comes and goes away.
I'm sure they'll all be given.
I mistakenly thought of Izu-kun Zoe's Mysterious Nyorai character as Nyorai and drew it in a far, far away world.
Everyone does that, and there is a Buddhism-like Buddhist virus that is ingrained in the Buddhist industry even though it is Buddhism that does not regard Buddha statues, Buddhism, and Nyorai as something superior to oneself.
“Santa is here.”
Good people can just believe in Santa.
what are you saying.
A bearded old man dressed like that in red rode a reindeer and flew through the air?
Hey hey, where did the toys come from? Amazon? Rakuten?
Since people who think intellectually can't believe in pictorial fiction, it is also necessary to show the content.
There are also differences in form, function, influence, content, and role.
To show the same effects of Santa, there are anime and picture books, there are things done by real people, there are businesses, there are also cosplay, and there are things drawn in people's heads, and there are also things that function by giving dreams and hopes.
But even if I say Santa, I'm begging.
If you don't give back, give back, or turn around, you keep getting it.
In other words, Buddha represents what you should become.
You should probably solve that question once and for all and make it a lifelong challenge until you are good at it.
No matter how far he goes, a Buddha statue or fictional entity becomes a Buddha statue or fictional entity, no matter how far he goes.
Where is “A” not here?
Where is “I” now?
Don't go to the Buddha, our body of worship. Gassho

Why is each Buddha different

Rokko-sama

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

It certainly means that one person can appear in the land of one France, but there are many other worlds other than the Shaba world (within which the power of one person Nyorai falls), which is the land of one France, and in each world, there are worlds where Buddha lives, and there are also worlds where they are absent, such as the Shaba world today.

The most famous French land is the Pure Land of Paradise, but there are also other things such as the Myōki Pure Land, and the Joruri Pure Land.

Nyorai is a person who attained enlightenment and became a Buddha, but they each awoke the Bodhisattva mind a long time ago, made vows as Bodhisattvas, and attained enlightenment after going through a long, long ascetic practice.

Although each Buddha has the same bodhi heart, the details of the vow are different, and the “function” of each Buddha is also different depending on the content of the vow and changes in practice.

The Buddha's body has a “Dharma body,” which is the body of truth, and a “body of color,” which is the body of salvation, and although there is no difference between the “Dharma body,” which is the body of truth, the contents of his vows and ascetic practices are reflected in the “color body,” which is the body of salvation.

Therefore, there are various Buddha statues with different “functions,” such as Buddha Buddha, Amida Nyorai, Dainichi Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai, etc.

Also, in the Shaba world today, there is no Nyorai, but it is a place where it is written by the Buddha that Miroku Bosatsu will attain enlightenment and be descended after about 6 billion years.

Until then, I would like to continue devoting myself towards enlightenment, relying on Buddhism left by the Buddha.

Incidentally, as an aside, it seems that Miroku Bosatsu actually awakened the Bodhisattva mind before the Buddha, but since the Buddha's bodhisattva was much stronger than that of Miroku Bosatsu, the speed of the ascetic practice was also quite fast (even so, the Three Asoh Gi also took it...), and it seems that Buddha was able to attain enlightenment before Miroku Bosatsu.

In this way, what kind of Buddha you become is determined by the strength and weakness of each Bodhi Heart (the content of the Bodhi Heart itself is the same), the content of your vows as a Bodhisattva, the process of ascetic practice, etc.
