“Until i gave up and became a Muslim out of spite” - that had me rolling! Your humour is always on point! So are your facts!

*barges into temple* "you are all evil and going to hell to suffer for all eternity" *refuses to elaborate further* *leaves*

"There is no such priest in Japan except Nichiren. ...said Nichiren." Insert that meme with Obama handing himself that medal

All other Buddhist sects: let’s just chill and meditate. Nichiren: we SHAN’T chill..

This reminded me of a family friend (who is an avid practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism) who first introduced me to Buddhism, and explaining to me that Buddhism is like a bunch of different schools. Nichiren Buddhism is like grad school or peak higher Buddhism, while schools like Zen Buddhism are just "Buddhism for Kindergarteners".. Which hits completely differently now after watching this, lol.

Nichiren sounds like your typical Twitter user nowadays.

I didn't know you could be a contrarian, agressive, unpleasant person and still be an influential Buddhist. I am SO looking to convert, right now. I have found my path.

Chad Priests: *slaughters everyone so that everyone reach eternal bliss*

He probably invented the phrase 'This will hurt me more then you' while giving someone a compassionate beating.😅

I was raised with Nichiren’s intense Buddhism, left Japan at 22 to stay out of the religion and my parents, recently found myself being a standup comedian in Canada. And I’m happy with it so maybe the religion wasn’t that bad after all :)

As a practicing Nichiren Buddhist, it's kind of hilarious to see this take. You should look up the SGI vs the Nichiren Temple sects. It's wild.

"It is not because of their love for us, but their lack of love for us, that the Christians of today do not burn us." Nietzsche.

As a Nicherin Buddhist I found this very entertaining to listen to :)

My boyfriend's dad was into this when it got popular in Europe and my boyfriend told me that with him it was like being in a cult. I'm not saying who the dad is because he’s a celebrity in his country and my boyfriend has enough trouble from what it means for him.

"The one who cast shadows" sounds like a pretty cool villain moniker, actually.

Loving the recent string of Buddhist videos, although I'm currently studying to become a Shingon monk so I might be just a tiny bit biased. If you ever do a video on Kukai or something I know some fun anecdotes

Buddha Shakyamuni sat under the Bodhi tree to meditate & realise highest Truth and he demonstrated how to become a Buddha. Nichiren, out of compassion, preaches Wonderful Law of Lotus Sutra. Please chant yourself morning and evening 15 mins or more as you like to feel most spiritually fulfilled, awakening to your innate Buddha wisdom and purify your 8 consciousness, accumulate the great fortune/blessings.

Nicheren challenges my conviction of not falling into the No-True-Scotsman fallacy (doubly so as they do) in regards to Buddhism. My family was Nicheren for a very short amount of time (was like 6-8 at the time). At the very least visited their organization and I remember that chant. Can’t say we stayed for long though. I wasn’t really quick on the draw for why one would spend so much time worshiping a book instead of reading it. Fast forward years later and I’m in Boot Camp, on Sunday there are various religious services and am delighted to see Buddhism as one. And who is in charge but the Soka Gakkai (nicheren lay organization). Now at this point I’m reasonably learned in Buddhist teachings amongst many sects and am internally turning into the Spanish Inquisition as they preach doctrines exceptionally at odds with even general Buddhist thought. What’s more tragic to me is that this is likely the first time many of the recruits going through basic training are seriously exposed to Buddhism. Even the hierographic accounts of Nicheren’s life they were promoting failed to not make him look like a jerk.

“Nearly converted to Muslim outta spite”… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂… Love your sense of humour! 👌👍

The biggest irony is that the Lotus Sutra central message is that of inclusivity. That any path and practices eventually lead the person to becoming enlightened as buddhas because it is ultimately one vehicle. How this message became ironically so sectarian under Nichiren is mind boggling

Imagine Nichiren telling Siddhartha that there was justification for beheading priests. Anyway, I will give to him that he was committed to his principles at the expense of his own comfort and safety, but then again so was David Koresh.

"so carrying it around was like carrying him in your pocket like a Pokemon". I CAN'T! XD

"until I finally gave up and became a Muslim out of spite" As a Muslim that had me laughing 😂

Found you recently and you are one of the funniest and informative ppl I've watched here 🤣 ty lim-sama 🙏

I'm a bit confused with this guy's attitude: doesn't the Lotus Sutra say that all Buddhist practices and rituals are skillful means for reaching enlightenment? To me, that means that no matter which branch of Buddhism I might follow, I will always become a Buddha.

More nichiren tea please it only ,makes him more relatable

"Hey, Nichiren wasnt so bad! He was a saint!" ~ Nichiren Soka Gakkai, the most abusive "buddhist" sect. Edit: so, the Lotus Sutra is a good sutra, i read a bit from it every day. But i prefer Heart and Flower Garland (and the Tathagatagarbha Sutras). I literally read Heart over and over.

Please make a video about the He-Gassen, or "Fart Battle" scrolls!

Delivering the facts & information while still reaching around to jack the humor up. ALWAYS TOP NOTCH! Thank you

As far as my knowledge of Sanskrit and Prakirt language is concerned Namu comes from the Sanskrit word Namo/namah (नमो/नमः) which means I bow to or I pay obeisance to rather taking refuge. It's a good topic to learn about phonetic changes done by Japanese speakers in Sanskrit and Pali language vocabulary ac

This was awesome. More please 🙏. I'm an Independent practioner of Buddhism and former member of Soka Gakkai. SGI is more a New Religion than Buddhist Sect closer to Happy Science than Nichiren Shoshu. But I've been to a few Buddhist Temples and enjoy the practice. Also I've studied Shingon and Jodo Shu. Love them all. For those of you out there looking in. A Buddhist Sect needs the Darhma (the teaching) the Sangha (Monks/ Priest) and The Buddha. Anyone telling you different either doesn't know better or is selling something.

"I kick ass for Buddha"

Wasn't Nichiren a big thing in Japan post WWII? My grandma converted to nichiren around this time and by the time she moved to the US, she was a devout buddhist and held meetings for it once a week. My mom grew up with nichiren buddhism kind of forced on her and she doesn't like it. She said it was a money-cult and chanting the sutra for like an hour was boring. She still has some buddhist beliefs and a respect for buddhism but not nichiren buddhism.

Outstanding video!!! I used to practice with SGI many, many years ago. I came to the conclusion that Nichiren’s practice didn’t have much in common with early Buddhism. Great video. You are so funny and super creative. Great work.

I was raised “Buddist” in the Los Angeles area in the 70s NSA, but now called SGI. I really loved this video and I learned a few things and laughed. Thank you 😊

"But, Davey . . . if any part of a sutra contains by inference the whole of all sutras . . . isn't the Nike ripoff jingle all you really need?" "Shut up and lace up your Sketchers, Dog."

You're art improve a lot. It just brings out the life and flavor of this time peirod.

This was super interesting and funny lol

The chant of taking refuge in the lotus sutra is taught at the US Airforce Basic Training if you go to the Buddhist religious service.

Kenji Miyazawa made me look into this a while back. Even though I don't subscribe to buddhism, it was still very interesting and inspiring to learn about. P.S. I love the Nichiren carrying a huge lotus sutra on his back illustration, make that into a sticker.

Wow such a good story

2:34 Wait devil? That does sound a bit like something is lost in translation, like when Brock from pokemon calls rice balls donuts.

There are currently different schools based on Nichiren teachings, at least one of which does exactly what you say, but not all of them are like that. I've been attending a local Nichiren temple, that follows the Nichiren Shu school, and nobody told me that chanting the Odaimoku by itself will lead people to enlightenment. Of course they teach the Lotus Sutra more than other ones, but any of the other schools you mentioned have a favourite sutra of their own, that they base their doctrine upon and it is very likely that they too thought their ones were the best, isn't it?. For that matter, Nichiren himself in his letters (which I read myself) emphasised the importance of studying all Sutras, and the induist teachings as well. I also think worth mentioning that Nichiren emphasised a certain chapter of the Lotus Sutra, that is The Dragon King's Daughter, where it is said metaphorically that everyone, in spite of their low condition in life, can attain enlightenment with their own sensibility without having to be reborn as a (male) monk of high rank. That's why a lot of his followers were peasants. Morover, many letters by him that have been preserved are responses to women where he tells them that they have the same potential of other beings to attain enlightenment, whereas the traditional heian buddhism was so mean to women to the extent of forbidding them from learning chinese and reading the holy sutras by themselves. He also used to criticise monks that did not live the true monastic life and got married, lived in luxury, eat meat and got involved in politics out of ambition. Also speaking of politics, you surely remember that the powerful monasteries of the time had been deeply involved in politics at least since the Nara period, many centuries before; they had their own armies that would often intervene in dynastic fights to back their favourite pretender, which sometimes would bring unfortunate retribution, such as the burning of Nara by the Heike clan on the brink of the Genpei war. The retired emperor Shirakawa, some 100 years before Nichiren's birth, used to say " though an emperor, three things escape my power, the outcome of the dice roll, the river floods and the monks of mount Hiei". Still sure no politics?

So he's an evangelical fanatic, but Evangelical Buddhist instead of American Evangelical Christian I wonder what he'd think of televangelism today

As a SGI member I LOVE this video 😂🥰 Of course many details need to be explained, but I'm sure as well that making this video wasn't easy at all. I really appreciate it! For those who may be interested but a lil' concerned about Nichiren Buddhism and/or SGI... Don't worry! We do inherited the energy and passion of the Daishonin, but we're not that aggressive

I hope you do a video on tendai and shingon sects! I think those incorporate some indigenous Shinto practices, though given how accommodating Buddhism and Shinto are, maybe that’s not some innate part of the practice but a reflection of general cultural practices? Anyway I’ve been really enjoying this series, thanks!

This guy sounds like an absolute wacko but you can't accuse him of being insincere in his faith at least

Every priests are gangsta until nichiren show ups with his ramen

I spent quite a bit of my early childhood with an uncle who was devoted to Nichiren. I escaped. I should do a video about my experience... because your video was fabulously triggering. Just about everything you mentioned here I read or learned from others. Thank you for helping me release myself of the guilt of going against my uncle's wishes! Kidding. I did that a long time ago. BUT this was still a very good video. Saved and liked.

Nice, thanks!

lol im a nichiren Buddhist

I want a video about the shinto side of japan,because damn buddhist monk can be hardcore, i hope they're more chill; (That lotus mantra title was beautiful to hear)

_and become a muslim out of spite_ That's how muslims are born... I know because I nearly became one myself. I'm Austrian and thus catholic. Our church did pretty much everything on the list of what to never ever do, if you want to keep your followers. My parents moved to Germany and there I was constantly treated as a second class citizen and got constantly reminded that no matter how hard I try to integrate myself, I'll always remain an Austrian to them. I got told many times that I do not belong here and should go back; that we are inferior and so on. It once even came close to a fight for no good reason. Just that my mother told them that they were breaking the law and in order to protect us, I seriously drew my knife to dissuade them. On top of it all, my parents didn't get along and their relatives hated each other with a passion and I was the one in between... The nicest people I met back then were muslims. You could have called them at 03:00 for help and they would come! Plus my neighbours tried to match me with a beautiful woman (though there were some issues with that deal...). I was really tempted back then despite being more of an atheist.

loved it

how many times did limfamy say Nichiren? 1. 0:19 2. 0:21 3. 0:31 4. 0:41 5. 0:51 6. 1:15 7. 1:49 8. 2:07 9. 2:25 10. 2:50 11. 3:21 12. 3:25 13. 3:52 14. 4:23 15. 4:44 16. 4:54 17. 5:17 18. 6:00 19. 6:10 20. 6:26 21: 6:58 22: 7:18 23: 7:35 24: 7:37 25: 8:17 26: 8:33 27: 8:52 28: 9:08 29: 9:19 30: 9:46 31: 10:06 32: 10:14 33: 10:20 34: 10:39 35: 10:44 36: 11:03 37: 11:15 38: 11:53 29: 12:00 will get fixed soon because of offtiming

This guy sounds like Buddhism's answer to the American televangelist, except sincere and not doing it for the money.

How about a video on the Ikko Ikki Buddhist sect? You know the ones that Nobonaga sieged for a couples years.

Thank goodness he never joined Twitter.

Watching his videos is a knowledge giving joy😊😊

9:30 "A human centipede of bullshit" This is i believe the ONLY video in existence that contains those words. AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH! ^^

Can you please make a video about ryujin the japanese sea god?

Interesting to know even though I am not Buddhist but in a way I am raised Catholic.

My mom and Obachan are Nichiren Shoshu buddhists. I actually use the "Namyo-Horen-gekyou" chant to try and calm myself down on rare occations. I knew there was something weird about the religion when my mom said that people used to hardcore try to convert people in Japan Jehovah's Witness style. And now I know that Nichiren Daishonen was a huge DICK bag and was a very flawed hardheaded man. Sucks though because I like the fact that he says that anyone can attain enlightenment, both men and women from all classes without needing Reincarnation .

It is really interesting to see SO MANY SANSKRIT WORDS whenever I watch videos about historical Japan. Also, Nationalism is portrayed very negatively by Westerners and is used to discredit patriotic people.

You're not really suffering for the lotus sutra if you're clearly enjoying every moment of it.

Kato Kiyomasa was a devout Nichiren Buddhist. That explains a lot.

Really reminds me of the Independent Fundamental Baptists that I've been around

I was so glad that I found your Channel!!! Your Videos are more than awesome Keep it up its soooo awesome :)))

if the Marvel villain Ultron had a faith he would become a robotic Ichiren Buddhist Monk

The lotus sutra, that posits that all buddhist practices are one vehicle of many different skillful means? THAT Lotus sutra? The irony astounds.

*Meanwhile in China* Chad Monk: There's only one Buddha, plus we borrow this religion from the Indian.

Watching your videos is always a good time. Thanks.

Love your videos and would love to see you tell the tale of the founder of my former home, Date Masamune aka One-Eyed Dragon of Ōshu. He founded Sendai in Tohoku Pref (NE Japan)

Nicheren: COVERT TO MY BUDDHISM!!! IT IS THE ONLY PATH TO SALVATION!!! ( repeats loudly and constantly) Medieval knight: Keep that up and i will declare a crusade against you and your followers. Mujahideen: Did somebody say Jihad?

you should check out the sgi

Not gonna lie, i have tried as hard as i can to resist the urge to watch this channel for the last 6 months or so. Just so that i have alot of contents to watch and enjoy myself, petition for this channel to post a weekly video like anime did anyone? Just can't get enough of this Japanese lore, myths and legends. This channel is 🐐🐐🐐👍👍👍👍👍👍

So they are the Buddhist equivalent of Westboro Baptists?

I practice Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism. It is a transformative practice. This really funny.

This is exactly why I switched from Nichiren to Vajrayana.

This pleases the KZfaq Kami!

Kiyomasa Kato was a devout Nichiren follower.

Ah yes "jamming your compassion down peoples throats" works every time!

Nichiren sounds like he really got that whole "elimination of desire thing" down pat. :P

wow! how UNPLESANT man this nichiren leder and founder:))) p.s the humor is great!!! new subscriber imidiatly:))

Wait, the new emperor called Crimson Obscura? My mind went to a certain village filled with red butterflies

Thank you for having enough presence of mind to actually go into WHY he was that obsessed. Too often, videos like this are "He was just evil for the sake of being evil because he liked being evil". While in reality, that description fits absolutely no one. No one is evil for the sake of being evil. They're evil because they either think it necessary for some greater good they perceive, or because they deny that it's evil altogether

7:11 finally I understand what Gyomei always said :'D

Now-now~Nichiren teaching vs The art of the Deal.

I always thought Nichrien was a good monk, changing my mind. Learn something today

You are so goddamned funny LMAO 😂 make another video about this dude

I went to a local Nichiren Buddhist center a couple of times. The vibes it gave me were awfully similar to the ones I had when I used to go to evangelical Christian churches. Kinda creepy and cult-like.

From my brief experience Nichiren Buddhism just jettisons most of the Buddha's teachings in favour of just chanting every day 🤷‍♀️

Hear me out, guys, "Based Buddhism."

My grandparents were Nichiren Kyokai but my family is Pure Land Buddhists. Nichiren are known as the hardcore Buddhists. Pure Land is the more laid back Buddhists.

Nichiren is very much the whole world must learn of our peaceful ways... by force

One has to travel one's own path. Nichiren's teaching of the lotus sutra is spread because people practicing it assiduously see actual proof of the benefits in their lives. I'm in my 36th year of practice and am deeply grateful to my life every moment. Before I began practicing I was a grumbler and was whingeing and begrudging my life. I identified only with my body and mind. Now I know my body and mind house the Buddha nature as it's inherent in all life. Your opinion and slanderous tone has left me cold!

This is as early as I'll ever be 😭.

Instant subscribe from me this was amazing 😂😂

maybe i should start to make up my own quotes about myself, said myself.
