Re: Thien in the US

Here in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area there are at least 6 (4 temples and two centers), and one or two in surrounding towns. Usually they are open to anyone, many ...

Re: Ordination in Nichiren Schools
There is also Rev. Shinkyo Warner here in Tampa, FL. He was working (well still is working with) a Sangha in KY. So I believe there are quite a few now. And of course Rev. Tarabini in Italy, and I know there is a Shami from Brazil training in Japan right now .

I have a good deal of...

Otaru Debate
Hello all! I have heard reference to the Otaru Debate many times, and I am trying to find some record of what was said during that time (1955, Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan). I was told that it is in Human Revolution, but, with respect, I'm not going to buy it- is there some record someone has of this deba...

Thich Thanh Tu
I have been reading a few books but Thich Thanh Tu, so far they seem to be pretty good and imformative, even if the translation is sometimes awkward.
Has anyone else read works by this Thien master?

Re: Vinaya
Hmm, thank you... I will have to talk to my Master about this. I'm sure he has a copy of the Vinaya, but likely in Vietnamese or Han-Viet (Sino-Vietnamese). I wanted to try and study more so I am fully aware of what I am doing when I Leave Home.

Vinaya
Hello everyone!
I am wondering if anyone knows of any translations of the Vinaya for Mahayana (I think the Dharmaguptaka is the most common...). I have been trying to find something on it for some time now, and I've really come up with nothing.
Thanks
