Buddhism sutras?

Question

I was reading a bit about buddhism and especially the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism. And I was wondering where do the original sutras come from? I mean Buddha started them all... But how did he know what words are powerful? How did he know that some particulat words can be so strong. I mean, I recon they come from sanscript, but even in sanscript, who created it and how did it become so powerfull?I have been thinkink abou tit for a while now and I can't figure out. Any ideas are welcome.

Answer 1

The mantras are the reflection of some creatures and things radiation such as some sound ratio can break glass. The mantra are sound and mind concentration and 3rd objects motion. Some of them are physically and some of them are psycologically. If you really want to understand more, go into more sutras and learnt from some practicist who will teach you under the right cercumstances.

Answer 2

You have to understand that the words and stories Buddha used were usually selected specifically for his audience. Buddha knew which words would work the best because he drew from his inner experience and how best to relate things to the maximum benefit of others, as that was his intent with everything he did. In other-words, he was really good as putting himself in other people's shoes. Newer sutras which aren't written by the Buddha are just that, wisdoms that shed the same light at a different angle. Words are nothing more then mental symbols we can express vocally/visually. These are concepts that are innately tied to how we understand everything. My concept of a box, for example, it tied to my concept of EVERYTHING. This is an innate nature of the brain's architecture; a giant parallel distributed process. My concept of a box; it is hollow, it is not a bird, it has several sides, it is not made of water. I can tie it to anything I can image from what it is or is not. Words like religion, for example, are more subjective to an individuals experiences, abstractions on a box are fairly similar between people, but abstractions on religion are far far more varied. So the Buddha was smart and picked words that had a more consensual meaning between all people, so they were more likely to be understood at he intended, though there is no guarantee of course. Thats why you are supposed to read them over and over to really sift out their meaning. My two cents anyways...

Answer 3

Pali AND Sanskrit. Words are empty of inherent existence... i.e. they are whatever you make them per your perception. Languages are also empty of inherent existence and therefore have no "power" from their own side.
