There are many many sects of Buddhist belief, from the very traditional to the almost magical. The choice and preference is yours alone, there is no wrong way�?no incorrect path.
In Shingon Shu we believe that the mere aspiration of enlightenment, your first steps, the choice to finally end suffering, brings about the product, in this life. The innate seed of wisdom we all possess lays dormant, lulled by ignorance, kept sleeping by desire.
Nagarjuna said, "In order for the cause to be the true cause of the effect, the cause must be present in the effect, either actually or potentially". Your choice to know, to search, to find out what is just beyond perception, was started many lives ago and has now finally reached the point of fruition. The seed of enlightenment is within you, as it is within all people…it only has to be realized.
We, as human beings, share the wisdom that was attained by the Nirmanakaya Buddha Sakyamuni, we share the truth and unity and ultimate universal essence of the Dharmakaya Buddha Mahavairocana…whatever you choose, make the choice informed, make it based on your own discovery…Innate enlightenment is the cause...Great compassion finally realized are its roots…and skill in means and universal wisdom are the results�?/FONT>
