Re: Varying pronunciations and formats of gongyo
Firstly there is no Gongyo or Gongyo format discussed in Nichiren’s Teachings. Secondly there was no Gongyo performed by Lay Believers before the early 1950’s when Josei Toda petitioned Nichiren Shoshu on behalf of The Soka Gakkai. I deal thoroughly with Gongyo here: https://dharmawheel.net/viewtopi...

Re: Letter to Sensei
I said what I said to a sincere person who is not seeking anti value. In fact he will benefit from his question by actually learning different viewpoints so that he is capable of discerning the truth for himself.
Thank you
Thank you

Re: Letter to Sensei
Hello Bobby. My answer to your inquiry is here my friend.. https://dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?t=23047 I still do not adhere to the necessity of Gongyo or rather a made up tradition to generate money and control over others. Hey there Richard, In what way are money and control involved in prescri...

Letter to Sensei
This was written during the time I fully trusted Daisaku and decided to write him after years of being told to do so by various persons. I never expected a response for I knew he would never receive it based on the leaders involved in the sending and receiving. Mr. Daisaku Ikeda President Soka Gakka...

Nichiren is the one who Inscribed The Gohonzon of Nam Myoho Kyo. This is a Nichiren Buddhist Forum yet all of you are Stuck on Shakyamuni’s Teachings above that of Nichiren’s Buddhism! There is no Buddhism of Shayamuni’s within the Practice of Nichiren’s Buddhism otherwise say you actually practice ...

Shakyamuni’s Buddhism has nothing to do with my Practice of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism sip your argument is futile and irrelevant to me and My belief in what Toda Teaches.

Josei Toda “Another striking difference is found in the method of’ teaching. Shakyamuni led his disciples to the Hokekyo with provisional teachings but the Daishonin declared the law of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo once for all. Buddhist teachings to guide his people. Shakyamuni was the first Buddha in rec...

Re: What does it mean, "All other Buddhas are followers of Shakyamuni Buddha?
Straight forward: From Lotus Sutra Chapter 11: At that time Bodhisattva Mahāpratibhāna spoke to the Buddha through the Tathāgata’s transcendent powers, saying: “O Bhagavat! We all want to see this buddha’s form.” The Buddha answered Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Mahāprati bhāna, saying: “This Buddha Prabh...
