The view of Tsukiji Honganji and lotus
On the afternoon of July 31, lotus flowers bloom and appear to color the summer of Tsukiji Honganji.
After a long time, I thought about "the relationship between Buddhism and lotus."
For Buddhism, temples and lotus flowers, I have seen Historical Buddha or Amida riding on a lotus stand.
However, I didn't know how it was linked to the teachings of Buddhism.
The sutra says that lotus flowers are blooming in paradise.
If you look at the statue of the Buddha, you are standing on a lotus stand. Why is the sutra preached that lotus flowers are blooming in paradise?
That's because lotus flowers remark the characteristics of the hearts of those born in paradise.
It is written in "Lenge's Gotoku".
Lotus Gotoku (like Renge) is the heart of a person born in paradise with five characteristics.
"Gotoku of lotus" is the five features of lotus flowers, and it explains the hearts of those born in paradise with five features.
I can't write very difficult things, but like lotus, I want to live with a heart that doesn't get dirty with the mud of the world even if I'm born and raised from mud.
