- This video offers a summary of the major themes and scenes of the Lotus Sutra Chapter 2. How do difficult terms that appear in the chapter such as "ten suchnesses", "one buddha vehicle", and "one great cause of buddhas" hang conceptually hang together? This video answers the question by tracing a storyline of the chapter.

Thanks brother I appreciate you help more than I can convey.
Greetings my friend, this is one of my favorite of your videos. Another of the ones I'd first watched. You explain (pretty clearly), what are really some of the more complicated issues here at the outset of the Sutra. Good graphics too. I prefer your individual videos like this. ~Gassho, Niji
Thanks for your feedback, Niji. OK, I will create more videos about the content of the stories of the Lotus Sutra in the future.
I love this! Your presentations are clear. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this... Today I experienced a miracle just by reciting the lotus sutra
I am so glad that you experienced a miracle as a result of the Lotus Sutra recitation. Looking forward to your further field report about how your recitation practice brings light to your life!
Thank you - after reading ch 2, I was very confused about the message, but you helped me to understand.
I think reading and being confused by Chapter 2 first is a necessary step towards an ultimate better understanding of that chapter. You are on a right track!
Gassho. Clearer understanding inner- standing

So if I’m understanding you correctly, is it that once you have the skillful means by having the attachment to something and “Let Go” (letting go as if emptying the cup or coming to shore with the boat and leaving that boat behind). That’s a way to end all suffering and reach “Nirvana” (and I mean reach by it also not ending). (Question) Would that be a way to end a suffering in someone’s life? 🧐
Great Videos! Btw. Also would love it if you can reply to this question, or if you need more explanation what I’m talking about, please let me know. Thanks! 🙏
Thanks for your questions. You are right that we normally think that suffering is put in opposition to nirvana, making a stark contrast between them. But this contrastive picture itself is a skillful means. The Lotus Sutra's implication is that once you engage with your path enough (as a step invented and invited by a buddha), what you will realize is that all of these previous moments of your engagement with your path themselves were the aspect of that very nirvana. The Lotus Sutra's approach to liberation from suffering is to use the contrast and then remove that contrast. What we are encouraged to do to alleviate and end suffering of all humanity is that you become a bodhisattva rather than waiting for a bodhisattva to appear for you. Being a bodhisattva can be achieved by way of listening to the suffering of others. Buddhist group Rissho Kosei-kai's "hoza" practice is doing this well.
Thank you for the wisdom brother 🙏
We humans are Love we come from it love have been compared or there are connections with the Love of God , compassion is wisdom , it is to give , not that to give is all we are but to pass the best in us around , that is wisdom , any beautiful flower is not beautiful so to give but it's beauty is in its nature to cultivate or awake that beauty in us is the step one from where we start our walk in all & any directions .
I love your immanentist theological move here! Humans "are" Love to suggest the identity b/w them is great.
I think the Buddha's skillful means is the multiple teachings the that Buddha taught before the Lotus Sutra. In the immeasurable meanings Sutra, the Buddha says that all the teachings that he taught were not uniform. Even though the teachings seem different, they all have the power help human beings overcome suffering. Even though the teachings seem different, they are all taught for the sake of the single vehicle. So, I've come to the understanding that the two vehicles do not exist. There is only the path of the Bodhisattvas. The other two do not exist, and that all of the teachings prior to the Lotus were meant to lead people to the Lotus Sutra. If Shakyamuni taught the Lotus Sutra first, then people would not have excepted it. So he used skillful means to cause human beings to develop their capacity to accept the Lotus Sutra.
Excellent discussion! Thanks for sharing this. I love that your comment singled out a crucial philosophical topic of relation between one and many, sameness and difference, implied in the relation between one vehicle and three vehicles. What is amazing about the Lotus Sutra is that this oneness is no longer an opposite of the three: non-relative and hence the absolute oneness. This oneness seems to embrace and reveal the true meaning of what it really means to be three. With this in view, we can say that this oneness is absolute in a sense that it makes all three also absolute and identical to this absolute oneness itself. This is the beautifully peaceful aspect of the thought of the Lotus Sutra that I love about.
I love the Lotus Sutra. Would like to chat with you. :D
Thanks for stopping by my channel. To be honest, I am extremely cautious about those who are interested in doing shakubuku to me on this channel, which happened more than several times. I was hurt by them so much. I cannot psychologically recover from that experience. I was traumatized by these encounters. They think they are doing good to the world, but I was hurt and full of pain. They are creating suffering in the world by doing what looks good to them. With that caution in mind, please tell me about your background first and prove that your intention of chatting with me is not doing shakubuku at all. After proving so, please make a list of ten points you loved about this video of mine and post it here. Then I will consider your request based on what you wrote. Thank you for understanding. I sincerely hope that you are not one of these shakubuku people and reading the Lotus Sutra by your own heart that is free of shakubuku mind. Thank you.
Buddha means the awaken one , it does not refer naming a person after "renouncing the world " , or some one who memorizes all buddha's teaching can be called Buddha.
I love your articulation of the non-world-renoincing-Buddhahood! That's precisely to the point of the Lotus Sutra that affirms the great value and paths of both the world-renouncing and non-world-renoincing Buddhahood of all sentient beings!
