There are two types of
“The Ten Myō”
I have explained so far
“The Ten Real Myō.”
However, there are actually
two types of the Ten Myō.
(Table below)
The Ten Real Myō and
The Ten Trace Myō.
What I have been talking about
so far is “The Ten Real Myō.”
“The Ten Real Myō” is “The Ten Myō
that was preached with summarizing
the Buddha’s Border.”
On the other hand, “The Ten Trace Myō”
is “The Ten Myō that was preached with
summarizing General World.”
The table above is the contents of both.
First, as can be seen from the table
at glance, “The Ten Real Myō that was
preached with summarizing the Buddha’s
Border” has “Real” on its head, but
“The Ten Trace Myō” has nothing on
its head.
If it has “Real” on its head, it’s called
“The Ten Real Myō,” and if it has nothing,
it’s called “The Ten Trace Myō.”
What does this mean?
Also, why is “The Ten Myō that was
preached with summarizing General
world” called “The Ten Trace Myō“?
In considering that reason,
let’s start by talking about why
“The Ten Real Myō” is called “Real.”
The reason why the Ten Real Myō
is called “Real” is because that is
“The Ten Myō” that uses the power
of the Law of Origin and move
all phenomena in phenomenon
world to accomplish things.
As I said in my previous article,
you can make the power of the
Law of Origin to be exerted and
move all phenomena in phenomenon
world to the direction of achieving
your goals.
Therefore, your goal will surely be
fully realized.
Thus, The Ten Real Myō is called “Real”
because “it is The Ten Myō that really
achieves the happiness or success
of a person.”
It is also “The Buddha’s Border” that
can do that.
Therefore, The Ten Real Myō is
“The Ten Myō that was preached by
summarizing the Buddha’s Border.”
*
On the other hand, The Ten Trace Myō,
that is “The Ten Myō preached by
summarizing General World” does not
necessarily use the Law of Origin.
In general world, when people achieve
some goal, they achieve it by moving
only the part of phenomena or events.
Therefore, The Ten Trace Myō is
“The Ten Myō that was achieved by
moving the part of phenomena.”
Because of these differences, when
you move all phenomena, it is called
“Real,” and when you move only the
part of phenomena, it is called “Trace.”
*
In that case, the part of phenomena
originally are arising from
all phenomena.
In other words, the body of Real and
Trace is the same phenomena itself.
Therefore, the difference between
Real and Trace is only “whether all of
phenomena or the part of them.”
This difference is best described by
the terms “Real and Trace”
(genuine and its copy), so they are
used.
The Key Role of
The Ten Trace Myō
However, even if saying Trace (copy),
it does never mean that it is not
important. The relationship between
Real and Trace is also the relationship
between “The Real thing and the
footprints left by the Real thing.”
If you write Trace in Chinese character,
it is “跡“, which means ‘footprint‘.
It is about the footprints that the Real
thing passed, and if you follow the
footprints, you can reach the Real thing,
and you can reveal the Real thing.
Traces have such an important role.
*
This important role of Trace arises from
the fact that the “body of Real and Trace
is the same phenomena itself“, which was
mentioned above.
Because the main body of both is the
same, it comes to be possible that
“You can follow the footprints (Trace)
of the main body and reach the Real.”
This is actually Trace’s most important
role and mission.
In other words, if you use Trace,
you will definitely be able to reach
Real (=The Buddha’s Border) by
following that Trace, and reveal Real.
Now let’s think about it the other way
around.
Can you follow only Real and reach
to Real, without Trace (footprints)?
It is in fact extremely difficult.
In other words, it is difficult to
understand or realize “The Ten Real
Myō” without studying “The Ten Trace
Myō” well.
Let’s talk about this with an analogy.
This actually means the same thing
as the following question:
“Can you spot the target ‘Bear‘ in wide
mountains or jungles without any traces?”
The next story is what is actually
happening in Japan.
Now in a region in the north of Japan,
Hokkaido, since one bear devoure
livestock, many hunters hunt around
to find that bear.
However, bears have a sense of
smell that is dozens to hundreds of
times stronger than dogs, so even if
a professional hunter sets a trap,
the bears will escape if there is
even the slightest hint of human
scent.
Therefore, the bear has not yet
been found.
A hunter says, “Finding such a bear
is like finding an insect in a vast
jungle.”
However, even such bear, if you
follow its footprints, you’ll be able
to find it.
It is the same.
If you follow “The Ten Trace Myō”,
you will be able to reach “The Ten Real
Myō = The Buddha’s Border” in
the truest sense, and you will be
able to manifest it.
So, in this article, “About the two
types of the Ten Myō“, I will explain
in detail about “The Ten Trace Myō,”
and by doing so, I would like to make
possible to reach the Ten Real Myō
that is, “The Buddha’s Vast Border“.
Explaining “The Ten Trace Myō”
through Corporate Activities
The Ten Trace Myō is the law
preached by summarizing a general
world, so here I will use A General
Corporate Activity as an example.
If placing a corporate activity in the
Ten Trace Myō, it will be roughly
as follows.
1. The Border Myō
The first 1, The Border Myō, is
the object when a corporate uses
its wisdom.
In other words, it is a search target
for corporate’s wisdom.
When a corporate uses their
wisdom, they don’t use it out of
thin air. First, they research the
market, and then do a lot of study
on where the “Consumer Needs”
are and so on. Also, if necessary,
they research the social trends and
the situation of the times behind
them.
In this way, the Border Myō is the
object of corporate wisdom.
It is the market, social and world trends,
and the phenomena world in general.
*
“Border” of “The Border Myō” is
“Border” of a Border Line.
It draws a Border Line on the wisdom
emitted by a corporate, and limits
or designates the direction of the
wisdom.
2. The Wisdom Myō
2. The Wisdom Myō is the wisdom of
a corporate.
In accordance with consumer needs,
etc. that a corporate grasped in
“The Border Myō” of 1, the corporate
wisdom creates strategies and plans.
3. The Action Myō
The Action Myō is the action of
a corporate.
In accordance with the plans and
strategies created by the wisdom of 2,
a corporate makes products and
services.
4. The Rank Myō
4. The Rank Myō is the process by
which a corporate’s quality or rank
improves.
As an independent corporate that can
be properly managed in society,
the corporate prepares the Organization,
Personnel, Finances, Information,
Production Equipment, etc. And it’s
a process of growing as a corporate .
5. The Three Laws Myō
The Three Laws Myō means that
a corporate is complete as a corporate
that can be active in society.
The Three Laws refer to three
conditions for completing a corporate.
It is called 1 Individual, 2 Universal,
3 Middle way
1 “Individual” means that the
corporate is established as
a single social corporate.
2 “Universal” means that the
corporate has sufficient external
capabilities to operate widely
in external markets.
3 “Middle way” is to have both
1, “Established as an independent
corporate” and
2, “External management ability.”
The state in which 1 and 2 are
connected is called “Middle Way,”
because it is the connection of
“Individual and Universal.”
6. The Reaction Myō
When one corporate is completed,
the corporate will carry out some
kind of public relations activities
such as advertisements.
Then Consumers begin to react
to the services provided by the
corporate.
The corporate will serve consumers
according to their reactions.
This process is the Reaction Myō.
7. The Phenomena Myō
Products and services provided by
corporates bring changes and
improvements to society and the
lives of consumers.
The occurrence of those events is
the Phenomena Myō.
8. The Preachment Myō
If changes occur in society and in
the lives of consumers, a corporate
will disseminate further information
distribution throughout the events.
(Full-fledged public relations activities
through the media and SNS)
Dissemination of information is
the Preachment Myō.
9. The Succession Myō
In this way, buying and selling is
repeated between corporate and
consumers, and eventually “Credit”
will be born. And “Stable Customeres”
are created.
That is the Succession Myō.
10. The Merit and Profit Myō
Thus both corporate and consumers
benefit and are enriched.
That is the Merit and Profit Myō.
The meaning of
“The First half 5 Myō” and
“The Last half 5 Myō”
The course of the first half
5 Myō is――
the Process until the functional
causality (system) within
a corporate is well completed.
The course of the last half
5 Myō is――
the Process that a corporate’s
ability and effort in its external
activities lead to its success.
The same is true in human
action.
The first half of the 5 Myō
completes “The causality of
one’s self-action” (The Causes
action and Results action).
The last half of 5 Myō completes
“The Action that work on others.”
In this way, by the name of
The Ten Myō, “One’s self-action”
and “The Action that work on
others” become all impeccable.
A Corporate success comes
for the first time, when there is
the development and prosperity
of Consumers (Citizens)
By reading the process of
“The Ten Myō” above, I think you
will probably feel the following first.
It is the fact that “Any corporate
has its own profit and development
only when there is Consumer benefit
and their life improvement.”
It is never possible that only
a corporate makes a profit and
develops. By always generating
“Consumer benefits” and contributing
to “Consumer happiness,”
the corporate will also develop itself.
This is a timeless truth at any age.
Also, it is the principle of Mercy.
However, if you are engaged in
corporate activities for a long time,
you may forget this due to the
reasons such as tension and
busyness.
It can also be forgotten by the
corporate’s long prosperity.
But if you forget, remember it
and let’s start again.
Both “Emitting Mercy heart to one
citizen” and “Emitting Mercy to all
citizens” are the driving force of
Development.
When a corporate develops,
it needs the heart of Mercy to
Citizens and Consumers.
Mercy is written as “慈悲 Ji-Hi” in
Chinese characters, and “Ji” means
“A heart that values about the person.”
“Hi” is the heart of “Wanting to
remove the suffering of that person.”
There is great power in emitting
both hearts to the public.
When you do that, you can make
the Lion Momentum to be exerted.
The reason of why “Myō” is
attached to the end of each
name of “The Ten Myō”
If you look at each name of
the Ten Myō from 1 to 10,
you’ll find “Myō” at the end of
every name. (Table below)
The Chinese Character “Myō”
means “strange” in the conversation
of ordinary people.
However, as an extension of the
meaning of “strange”, Myō has also
meanings of “Mysterious” or
“Unprecedented”.
Why is Myō in that meaning
attached to each ending of the
Ten Myō?
That is because the process of
each formation of the Ten Myō
is in itself mysterious (=Myō).
In fact, there were many possibilities
that neither the “process of the
corporate’s completion” from 1 to 5,
nor the “successful process of
business activities in the market”
from 6 to 10 would actually hold.
There were also many difficulties.
Nevertheless, the “Corporate
succeeded.”
That fact is a mystery in itself.
Therefore, “Myō” is added to the
end of the word.
But why is that mysterious?
This is because in order for one
event to come into be realized,
innumerable conditions must be
met behind it, and you must receive
support from a myriad of phenomena.
For example, suppose you were
trying to get from point A to B.
The distance from A to B is about
2 miles. You are thinking you can
reach point B easily as usual.
But on the way, let’s say you
received a phone call informing
you that your son (or mother) has
been in a serious car accident.
You have to turn back immediately
and cannot reach point B.
Cause that’s a much bigger incident
than “reaching point B”.
Alternatively, if a major disaster
such as an earthquake suddenly
occurs on the way to your destination,
the road will be cut off and you will
not be able to reach point B.
“That doesn’t happen very often !”
you may say.
However, the other day, the Big
Earthquake happened in Turkey and
Syria. Not only did many people
could not reach their destinations,
but unfortunately, there were many
people who lost their lives and
many citizens who were affected
by the disaster.
(For that, it is needed immediate
disaster relief and supply of relief
supplies.)
If the cause of that natural disaster
was derived from the Earth’s rift,
the changes in planetary orbit or
even cosmic phenomena,
the movements of all phenomena
come to be relevant to the problem
of you going from A to B.
In this way, innumerable movements
of phenomena are related behind the
establishment of one event. Therefore,
in order to get from point A to point B,
you need to receive “Support” from
the movement of those myriad
phenomena.
If you can receive support from
countless phenomena, you will be
able to overcome countless obstacles
and problems to reach point B
smoothly.
In this way, whatever it is, in order to
achieve and complete one thing,
innumerable movements of phenomena
are involved behind it in reality, and
you need to move them all.
The reason why we need Law
Thus, the need for Law comes to
arise in human behavior.
All phenomena and events occur
according to the “law” that governs
the phenomenal world, and also
moving.
Therefore, if you act according to
the law, you will receive support
from the phenomenal world.
For example, if you act according to
laws or traffic rules, you will be able
to harmonize with the movements of
the surrounding phenomena to drive
a car safely. It’s the same
The law that governs the phenomenal
world is basically the “Law of Mercy.”
Mercy is “慈悲 Ji-Hi” in Chinese
characters as I said earlier, and
“Ji” means a “Heart that values the
person.”
“Hi” is a heart of “Wanting to remove
the suffering of that person.”
In the case of a person, if you practice
Mercy, you can follow the laws of the
natural world, and you will receive much
support from the phenomenal world.
This is the same principle as if
a corporate runs their businesses with
a genuine concern for improving the
lives, profits, and happiness of consumers
and citizens, that corporate will grow.
