Embracing it with gusto, allowing it to mingle with old tales and myths, the Japanese raised Buddhism to a new height. Students of the ways of Buddhism found they could, if diligent, attain a measure of spiritual freedom or self-fulfillment, which may well be lacking in other forms of thinking, certainly in religions. Though I doubt very seriously that any become deities (or powerful in the w...

Nation Of Israel Jesus Christ
1,147 wordsPhilosophy of Religion There are two very simple and easy facts. One of them is felt by reverence and the other by experience. The fact which is felt by reverence is that god always pervades everywhere without any change. Several ages pass away, several Brahmas (creators of god) change, but the supreme essence remains the same. The fact which is felt by experience is that the whole world is kaleidoscopic; it is changing every moment and is turning to naught. Thus there are two facts: 1) God who ...
