Naige Sōtai

The channel that answers your questions about Buddhism

 

Naige Sōtai literally means "comparison between the inner and the outer". This expression comes from Nichiren Daishōnin's Treatise that Opens the Eyes, The comparison between the inner path (Buddhism) and the outer path (other religions, philosophies and thoughts) is the first of five series of comparisons which, as they are developed by Nichiren Daishōnin, lead the reader to understand what the purpose of Buddhism is. In this series of videos, I explain the difference between Buddhism and other religions, what the Buddha's awakening is and how we ordinary humans can achieve the same state of life, by trying to follow the path of Nichiren Daishōnin.
