Channeling History – 11 June 2023 – Channeling Confucius and Buddha

He views Buddhism as a way of life rather than a religion, as it allows individuals to find personal tranquility without devotion to a single deity.

The Myths of Shintoism

In Japan, Shinto often coexists alongside Buddhism.

People may practice rituals from both religions; Shinto is commonly associated with life events (such as birth and marriage), while Buddhism is linked to funeral practices.

Interaction with Buddhism: Buddhism was introduced to Japan in the 6th century CE, and for centuries Shinto practices were deeply intertwined with Buddhist beliefs.

This syncretism continued until the Meiji Restoration (1868), when the Japanese government formally separated Shinto from Buddhism and promoted it as a state religion.

Tibetan Buddhism

The creation story in Tibetan Buddhism

The Lamaic Faith, more commonly known as Tibetan Buddhism, blends the teachings of Buddhism with indigenous Tibetan traditions.

The creation story in Tibetan Buddhism is not a single, unified narrative but rather a synthesis of various myths and legends that reflect both Buddhist cosmology and Tibetan culture.

Prior to the introduction of Buddhism, the indigenous Bon religion dominated Tibet.

As Buddhism spread into Tibet in the 7th century CE, it gradually merged with Bon practices.

A pivotal figure in Tibetan history, King Songtsen Gampo is credited with introducing Buddhism to Tibet in the 7th century.

His reign is often seen as a turning point where Buddhism started to merge with Tibetan indigenous beliefs.

Their offspring are considered the ancestors of the Tibetan people, symbolizing the blending of the civilizing influence of Buddhism with the wild indigenous traditions.

Also known as Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava is a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism.

He is believed to have subdued the local spirits and deities, converting them into protectors of Buddhism.

The story of the churning of the ocean, known as "Samudra Manthan" in Hindu mythology, has parallels in Tibetan Buddhism, though it is adapted to fit the Buddhist cosmological and philosophical framework.

While Tibetan Buddhism incorporates many elements from Hindu mythology, it adapts them to align with Buddhist teachings.

In Tibetan Buddhism, the story symbolizes the spiritual journey of purification and enlightenment.

Krakucchanda Buddha is recognized in Buddhism as one of the past Buddhas who taught the Dharma, focusing on communicating profound spiritual truths.

Shakyamuni Buddha (Historical), the founder of Buddhism, profoundly impacted religious thought and practice through his teachings on the nature of suffering, the path to enlightenment, and ethical living.
