Buddhism Buddhist precepts

Hi Y'all,

This are very good precepts, however, there are several hundred sects of Buddhism. I practiced a Japanese Buddhism called Nichiren Shoshu.

I belonged to Nichiren Shoshu for 30 years and our most important precepts were to chant "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo" to the Gohonzon (scroll of life conditions),make offerings to the Gohonzon, to protect the Gohonzon, , members of NS, and to recite the Lotus Sutra morning and evening, abide by the laws of the land, practice shakabuku (tell others about "Nam Myho Renge Kyo"), do not gossip about (slander) other members true or not, do not slander oneself, the practice or the True Buddha (Nichiren Daishonin), and to create value in society (practice for oneself and others).

Many, in fact most, of the members are not vegetarians.

This is all I recall at the moment, hope I did not leave anything out.

Thanks for the question. Fortuna
