SHOW OFF MY OLD ESSAY IV===> Visit at Jikoji Temple of the Shin Buddhism

Jikoji Temple ( Berchem) is the nearest Buddhism temple of FVG , as I know there are 3 Buddhism temple in Antwerp aren't there ? ( now  I know  more than 3 Buddhism temples in Antwerpen ) One is  from Thailand call Wat Buddha Antwerp at Sint-Jobsteenweg 84 , S- Graven wezel , the another one is in centrum of Antwerp , China Street ( There is Fo Guang Shan )
and this one Jikoji means " Temple of the light of compassion" ( Temple van het licht van Mededogen). We should visit all temples to see the difference. ( I have done already now I know more than 6 Buddhism temple in Belgium) The Buddha statue in the temple is stand up but normally I always see the Buddha statue do meditation and sit down . This is image of Amitabha Buddha. This kind of Buddhism teaching call " Mahayana" arose from China. This kind of Buddhism we also can see in Bhutan , Korea , Japan , Tebet , Vietnam , Taiwan , Monggolia. ( hittp:// wikipedia.org/wiki/mahayana) (also from Thailand where is the most Theravada Buddhism) .
During visit the temple we have to take off the shoes because it can cause dirty for the temple. This is the main important also we have to sitdown on the floor during listening the venerable monk it not nice with the shoes there.  We have to be very neat person.
( the title give from techer  "why Buddhism temple do need take off the shoe")
The main important thing in Buddhism is " Three Jewels" this can say the same every branchs of Buddhism. The three jewels are
- The Buddhas , this can refer to every Buddhas.
-The  Dharma , the teachings of the  Buddhas.
-Sangha , this can refer to the monks who continue for Buddhism and we can believe can connect with Buddhas also.( now I know also the nun or ภิกษุณี who continue for Buddhism also because Mahayana more give important for the women to be leader in the society of Buddhism) 


P.S. This is the essay I did wrote  last 2 years ago when starting to study with comparative study of religions. Now it is more progresssing. See !!! how it working ..YE
