Hōnen

Hōnen (法然, May 13, 1133 February 29, 1212) is the religious reformer and founder of the first independent branch of Japanese Pure Land Buddhism called Jōdo-shū (浄土宗, "The Pure Land School"). He is also considered the Seventh Jōdo Shinshū Patriarch.

Hōnen became a Tendai initiate at an early age, but grew disaffected and sought an approach to Buddhism that anyone could follow, even during the perceived Age of Dharma Decline. After discovering the writings of the Chinese Buddhist Shandao, he undertook the teaching of rebirth in the pure land of Amitābha through nianfo or "recitation of the Buddha's name".

Hōnen gathered a wide array of followers and critics. Emperor Tsuchimikado exiled Hōnen and his followers in 1207 after an incident regarding two of his disciples in addition to persuasion by influential Buddhist communities. Hōnen was eventually pardoned and allowed to return to Kyoto, where he stayed for a short time before his death.

Biography

Early life

Hōnen was born to a prominent family in the city of Kume in Mimasaka Province. His father was Uruma no Tokikuni, a province official who headed up policing in the area. His mother was of the Hada clan, whose ancestry could be traced back to the silk merchants of China. Hōnen was originally named Seishimaru after the bodhisattva Seishi (Sanskrit Mahāsthāmaprāpta). In 1141 Hōnen's father was assassinated by Sada-akira, an official sent by Emperor Horikawa to govern the province. It is believed that Tokikuni's last words to his son were "Don't hate the enemy but become a monk and pray for me and for your deliverance."

Totalmente Demais

by: Hanoi-Hanoi

Linda como um neném
Que sexo tem, que sexo tem?
Namora sempre com gay
Que nexo faz tão sexy gay
Rock'n'roll?
Pra ela é jazz
Já transou
Hi-life, society
Bancando o jogo alto
Totalmente demais
Esperta como ninguém
Só vai na boa
Só se dá bem!
Na lua cheia tá doida
Apaixonada, não sei por quem
Agitou um broto a mais
Nem pensou
Curtiu
Já foi!
Foi só pra relaxar
Totalmente demais
Sabe sempre quem tem
Faz avião, só se dá bem!
Se pensa que tem problema
Não tem problema
Faz sexo bem!
Seu carro é do ano, seu broto é lindo
Seu corpo tapete do tipo que voa
É toda fina, modelito design
Se pisca, "Hello!", se não dá, "bye bye"
Seu cheque é novinho, ela adora gastar
Transou um Rolling Stone no Canadá
Fazendo manha, bancando o jogo
Que mulher!
Totalmente demais!
Totalmente demais
Totalmente demais, demais..
Totalmente demais
Totalmente demais, demais...
