C - Part I: Cause Effect
Buddhism teaches that cause-and-effect operates continuously across past, present, and future lifetimes. This doctrine is known as karma theory which underscores how actions taken today manifest their consequences in the future. In this framework, emphasis lies on the present causes an individual forms which will subsequently determine their future experiences.
C - Part II: Cause Effect
From a Buddhist perspective, cause refers to the path of practice for achieving Buddhahood, while effect symbolizes the benefits attned as a result of these practices. The doctrine that all beings are fundamentally one with Buddha supports this concept, asserting that cause-effect is not separable and simultaneously exists in harmony.
C - Part III: Cause Effect
In the context of the ten realms of existence, Buddhism divides causes into nine ordinary realms and effects as Buddhahood itself. It outlines two viewpoints for understanding these concepts: cause to effect, which represents Shakyamuni's teaching encouraging followers to undertake practices ming at Buddhahood; and effect to cause, a concept Nichiren emphasized where individuals recognize their inherent Buddhahood through fth and practice, then propagate this enlightened state back into the realms of ordinary existence for the benefit of others.
Useful
Soka Gakk holds that Shakyamuni's spiritual practices are encapsulated within the five characters of Myohorengyo. Fth in these characters ensures one is granted equivalent benefits to those attned by the Buddha himself.
The organization attributes two teachings: cause to effect, which aligns with conventional Buddhist doctrine, and effect to cause, Nichiren's interpretation that emphasizes manifestation of innate Buddhahood through fth and practice.
For a deeper understanding of Buddhism, consider exploring key texts like the Mahayana Treatise or the Meditation on the Buddha Infinite Life Sutra.
