The Buddhism sky origin theory
monotheism
monotheism
Buddhism is a religion. There are many religions in the world. In case of Japan, there are Buddhism, Christianity, and Shinto that is an Japanese religion from ancient times. Unfortunately, there are conflicts in the world due to religious differences. It is essential for mankind to overcome the differences between religions. The Buddhism sky origin theory provides a clue to the solution of this problem.
Religions
We have various religions (or its sects) with different teachings. Religion is the faith in a transcendent being that gives us peace of mind. However. When the leaders of each religion say, for example, "My religion is superior to other religions" or "The teachings of other religions cannot save people, but the teachings of my religion can", religions that are supposed to lead mankind to happiness, divide mankind. There is supposed to be only one truth. Why are there so many religions on earth? And is it possible to unite all the religions of the world?
Buddhism and Christianity
Now, consider Buddhism and Christianity. As a world where those who do good deeds go after death, in Buddhism it is the pure land of bliss, and in Christianity it is heaven. The savior of mankind is Maitreya in the case of Buddhism, and the Messiah in the case of Christianity. There are prayers to the heavenly Father or to Amitabha Buddha. Christianity has the only God who created man and the universe, There are absolute Buddhas such as Vairocana Buddha or Amitabha Buddha in Buddhism.
However, these similar teachings can not connect Buddhism and Christianity. Rather, such as "the savior is God!", "No, it ’s a Buddha!", it will cause more conflict.
the Honji Suijaku theory
To overcome the difference between God and Buddha, the example of coexistence of Buddhism and Shinto in Japan is helpful.
Shinto is an ancient religion unique to Japan. This is the religion that Gods dwell in all things. When Buddhism came from the Asian continent, there was the debate between Shinto and Buddhism, and that was settled by the Honji Suijaku theory. That idea is that the Buddhas from India descended as gods in Japan. So in Japan now, temples and Shinto shrines coexist. There are example of existence shrines in temples or example chanting sutras to Shinto gods.
As the new Honji Suijaku theory, I will show that the Buddha and the Christian god are the same by focusing the figure of Buddha and God.
the Genesis
First, the figure of God is depicted in the Genesis of the Christian Bible.
Genesis Chapter 1 Section 26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis Chapter 1 Section 27
And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
From the description "in our image" God is not alone. And the description that created male and female in the image of God means that God has the same appearance as human beings on earth, and there are man and woman. In other words, it become that the creator in the heavens (= universe) who created humans has the same appearance as human beings on earth. At the same time, it means that God synthesized the DNA that forms human beings.
Buddhism
Next, I will reconfirm the Buddha in Buddhism. In Buddhism, the universe lasts forever from the past to the future, There is no beginning and end. Buddhism preaches that there are many worlds where the Buddha live, in such a universe. Here, because the Buddha means the person who has awakened to the truth, Buddha fully understands the essence of life, DNA. This means that Buddha can synthesize human DNA.
By collating these Buddhism teachings with the universe revealed by today's astronomy, it means that there are many planets inhabited by enlightened people in the universe. My buddhism sky origin theory is that Buddhism was brought to us by people with such a high degree of civilization from the sky (the universe).
New Honji Suijaku theory
From the above, the Christian God has the same appearance as human beings, and the Buddha is an enlightened person, both of them are from the sky (= universe). Both Gods and Buddhas are people with a high degree of intelligence and are the same. When the Buddha synthesizes DNA and man appears, the Buddha becomes God. They preach love and mercy to humankind, the creation on earth. In this way, God and Buddha can be shown to be the same, Buddhism and monotheism can be linked.
