| | Shakyamuni (Gautama Sidartha), known as the Buddha, or “awakened one,” lived around 2,500 years ago in India. | | | Shakyamuni spent the rest of his life traveling throughout India to share with people the insight he had attained. | | | Almost two thousand years after Shakyamuni’s death, Nichiren, the thirteenth century Japanese monk, distilled the profound theory of the Lotus Sutra into a practice to enable anybody, within their own lifetime, to reveal their Buddhahood, or highest state of life, in the midst of day-to-day reality. |

| | Shakyamuni′s position regarding the definition of priesthood is clear from many passages of the early Buddhist texts. | | | When Shakyamuni came to be deified and other imaginary Buddhas and bodhisattvas were invented, Buddhist practitioners began to depend more on priests as intermediaries to enjoy their supposed powers of salvation. | | | In Shakyamuni′s India, funerals were held by brahmins or Hindu priests, and early Buddhist leaders often held in contempt the magical incantations recited by brahmins. |

| | What Is Amida |
| | In some early Buddhist texts, Shakyamuni said, "There were seven Buddhas in the past." As we have noted earlier, when Siddhartha went out of the fourth gate of the palace, he met an awakened person, a Buddha. | | | Although we usually say that Shakyamuni attained the Dharma, it is more accurate to say (using the Zen master Dogen’s expression) that Shakyamuni "was attained by the Dharma." The Dharma’s killing and reviving Shakyamuni are called his Awakening. | | | The Buddhahood that we are expected to attain in Buddhism is not the historical Buddhahood of Shakyamuni, but the universal Buddhahood that is symbolized in "Amida." We cannot totally identify with Shakyamuni, because we live in a different historical context than that of Shakyamuni. |

The profundity of Shakyamuni's teachings in the Lotus Sutra, however, awakens in them the spirit of humility and compassion. | | | In this sutra, moreover, Shakyamuni demonstrates that he actually attained enlightenment in the infinite past, not in his current lifetime as had been assumed by his followers. |
