Basing his teachings on the Lotus Sutra, the Chinese monk Chi-hi (the founder of the Tendai Sect) developed an explanation of life "three thousand realms in a single moment", which posits a Buddha nature that can be awakened in any life, and that it is possible for a person to become "enlightened to the Law". In this view, the state of Buddhahood and the states of ordinary people are exist with and within each other.

Nichiren, the founder of Nichiren Buddhism states that the real meaning of the Lord Shakyamuni Buddha’s appearance in this world lay in his behavior as a human being. He also stated that "Shakyamuni Buddha . . . the Lotus Sutra . . . and we ordinary human beings are in no way different or separate drom each other".

-- Hi HansJohan808. I want to discuss editing with you, as it's refreshing to have a new editor. However, Wikipedia has some strict rules and policies about editing, and -- forgive me if I'm wrong -- you seem to be unfamiliar with many of them.

The main thing is that Wikipedia is a community project. That means many editors may have an interest in editing any particular Wikipedia Page -- they don't always; months have gone by with only one editor showing sharing an opinion or making an edit, on many pages I've followed (though this may also indicate approval of the edit) -- and for that reason, discussion is encouraged. This can only happen on the Talk Page. It's impossible to have a discussion in the Edit Summary, which is what you seem to use exclusively. The idea is to improve the entry, not to further a point-of-view. Another thing that violates Wikipedia etiquette and makes discussion impossible is massive editing in a very short time. Many edits need to be revised. If they are made one after another, within minutes or even days of each other, that too is violating Wikipedia etiquette.

I want to point this out to you so you can, for starters, do two things:

1) Slow down

2) When you make any major edit (not correcting typos or grammar), wait a few days until your next one, mention it on the Talk Page to see if anyone else has an opinion, pro or con, to the change you want to make. Join the discussion; respect other opinions as you wish yours to be respected.

On the Talk Page, we can discuss the necessity of having credible sources cited accurately. I look forward to you joining the community. - -***********8
