Monk Ninmon brought the idea of duality in Tendai Buddhism to the Kunisaki Peninsula in 718 AD. Miura Baien was born there in 1723. Monk Ninmon built his first temple, named Sento-ji, in Sento Village, where Baien's mother would be born about 1,000 years later. Few specialists have studied this issue in Japanese regional history. Sadly, his first temple was destroyed by Otomo Sorin (1530-1587), a Christian daimyo. He destroyed many temples built on the Kunisaki Peninsula. Christianity could not tolerate dualism. Modern quantum mechanics has begun to show that duality belongs to the basic structure of the universe. I took some pictures of Ninmon's first temple, "Sento-ji Okunoin," in 2018. Okunoin means "inner sanctuary." He continued preaching here until his death.  Ninmon died in this small hermitage. The date of his death is unknown. He brought dualism to the Kunisaki Peninsula and created an important historical region called Rokugo Manzan. Even today, many Japanese people hope to marry before Japanese gods and die under the protection of Buddha. This is a secular inheritance of Ninmon's teaching. It is as if one were to marry in a Christian church and hold one's funeral in an Islamic mosque. Most Japanese people never wonder about this. Ninmon mediated conflicts between religions and opened the way for peaceful coexistence. Can you imagine being married in a Christian church and, at the end of your life, having your funeral in an Islamic mosque? However, I am convinced that Ninmon's most important historical work was that he prepared the ground for Baien's system, which would appear in world history 1,000 years later. I am convinced that Baien's Holonic Dual-Path System can serve as a catalyst for integrating past and future, East and West, religion and science, relativity theory and quantum mechanics, and our lifeworld. The keyword that will create the next era is duality, not uniqueness. |
