Re: Was Nichiren a "Second Buddha"? Or...
Sorry on my phone (premature sendage) (3) but if the Kanjin Honzon Sho was after Sado then it would be considered the true teaching(full teaching) And that would leave practically very little chance for anyone to refute your comparisons correct? (honestly have no dog in this fight just bored) from ...

Re: Was Nichiren a "Second Buddha"? Or...
Hi. I will post up some quotes about this but something amused me about what ilarazza said above the Daishonin's teachings being clear and non-contradictory even though in the major writings there are some differing opinions and views expressed in different Gosho. If you look at the Gosho in the ord...

Re: Relation between Nichiren Shu and Nichiren Shoshu
Nichiren Shu is not a monolithic Nichiren group with some set orthodoxy across the whole. It is a federation of temples and practitioners with varying degrees of affiliation with the central administration of Nichiren Shu based at Minobu Kuonji and Ikegami Honmonji. There is a wide diversity of bel...

Re: A question of music appreciation
I have to wonder if the negative views of music and dancing are extra-stressed due to dealing with the "competitors." Krishna dancing with the Gopis (cow-herding girls who serve him in bhakti) out in the forest, under the stars is a big running theme in the Puranic faiths. Also, Shiva ser...

A question of music appreciation
hiya I'm trying to help a friend of mine write his uni dissertation which is about how music brings people together and was wondering if you could point me in the direction of sutras/Gosho that are relevant? I've had a look through the Gosho and Lotus Sutra but mainly music is mentioned as an offeri...

Re: The DaiGohonzon is Fake
For the sake of brevity I've summarised our other thread about this point by point: As Kosen Rufu has not yet arrived Taisekiji is still called Taisekiji but when it does occur then the name will change to Honmonji. the Nanjo Tokimitsu family temple is down the road from Taisekiji at Myorenji. Lord ...

Re: Four Noble Truths in Nichiren Buddhism?
Doesn't chanting the Daimoku to the Gohonzon include meditation on a single point in space? Can't remember the terminology for this but I've read it somewhere.

Probably Nikken Shonin as he would have visited all the countries with temples outside of Japan since 1991. He would have visited USA, Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, France, Spain, Ghana, Panama, Argentina, Indonesia, Sri Lanka

Re: List of Nichiren Shoshu Highpriests
The san san kudo also illustrates the disciples directly serving the Daishonin, sake is served to the High Priest during the ceremony which lasts at least 90 minutes. I saw it once back in 2007, very precise in every movement and action.

Re: List of Nichiren Shoshu Highpriests
No probs. That is during the San san kudo part of the Oeshiki celebrations : Prayers are offered to the Dai-Gohonzon. In the evening, the Oneri rite is performed. A slow procession of the priests, representing the advent of Nichiren Daishonin, suddenly comes to a halt when it arrives in front of the...

Re: List of Nichiren Shoshu Highpriests
I think it's the Rissho University in Tokyo and the total time for a priest to be tonsured is 12 years. They maintain celibacy up to a certain age, not sure of the exact details about the other rules though there definitely are some.

Re: List of Nichiren Shoshu Highpriests
Because it's really cold then to strengthen their voices. Our priests also study at university and major in Buddhism with additional topics of their choosing.
