Kanjin Honzon Sho 如来滅後五五百歳始観心本尊抄 文永一〇年四月二五日 五二歳 本朝沙門 日蓮撰 ま か し かん well this is real fun on an iphone. you have been on about this translation stuff , since you landed here...and most here can't read the original. so ya you prove you can copy paste , totally annoying by the way, but can you give us ...

Merely translating doesn't establish competence. That may or may not be true. What it does is show what was written. That is a starting point for a discussion. To call it following a rabbit hole shows a lack of compassion and a lack of seeking the truth. You seem to think indicate that wanting to f...

I ask you- How would you know if someone is a competent translator? Can you read the languages this person translates from to what I would guess to be English?

An amazing feat of debate brought to you by Nichiren shoshu Much appreciated Minobu hear that that woooshing sound it's the sound of motivated sarcasm going over your head.. For some of us this sort of fanatical response you and others in the past constantly input has over time become hilarious. It...

This post is not directed at anyone in particular. I wasn’t referring to the Soka Gakkai in particular. I was referring to the numerous incorrect English translations available. Seems that as Minobu stated this place is becoming a battleground. This is the reason scholars and priests wont post in t...

yeah this whole thing needs to stop.. Nichiren Shoshu should be thankful for the 700 plus Temples the Gakki built for them to use...never asking for them back...All of the overseas Temples were built by the Soka Gakki for them...and i don;t know how many temples were there in Japan before Toda..but...

cutting and pasting that japanese text into google produces a verbatim translation at a click so both are baseless claims https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=p-RXX5bOBrrBytMPvZGQoAE&q=%E5%85%83%E4%BA%A8+%E3%81%92%E3%82%93%E3%81%93%E3%81%86+%E4%B8%89%E5%B9%B4%E5%85%AD%E6%9C%88%E4%BA%8C%E5%8D%...

A blind man knows he cannot see, and is glad to be led, though it be by a dog; but he that is blind in his understanding, which is the worst blindness of all, believes he sees as the best, and scorns a guide.

One day, the Buddha was on one of his rounds asking for alms along with Ananda, his trusted attendant. When they called out for alms outside a particular house, the lady of the house came out and abused the Buddha for coming to her doorstep and asking for alms first thing in the morning. Also, she w...

As you said, most here can’t read it. This is why one can be easily fooled by money hungry hobos. (謗法). If a person can not read it how do you think one can have any type of comprehensive understanding of Buddhist doctrine? Add to that the 138 gosho that most likely one has never heard of and you ca...

It seems to be working now. Ghosts in the machine.
I was a network engineer so I know how it is.
Thank you for your help.

Reply to the Hokkeko Believers on Sado Island 元亨 げんこう 三年六月二十二日　日興上人七十八歳御作 June 22, 1323 (Nikko Shonin, Age: 78) Nichiren Daishonin’s teachings invariably will enable one to attain Buddhahood, through strictly following the correct master-disciple relationship. This issue is foremost. Even if one uph...

Stop looking for the source. It will never end. It is merely thus. As for Buddha - "Enough, Vakkali! What is there to see in this vile body? He who sees Dhamma, Vakkali, sees me; he who sees me sees Dhamma. Truly seeing Dhamma, one sees me; seeing me one sees Dhamma." -Vakkali Sutta Myohorengekyo i...

I have to try and post the same pm several times before it actually gives me the ‘successfully sent’ message. Is this a common occurrence or some setting I’m not aware of.

Thankfully these teachings are to be held to the 4 standards and not cultural paradigms. All of his teachings can be validated through the lotus sutra itself. It seems a grave denigration upon Nichiren's legacy to paint him as stingy. He did not limit these teachings to a specific cause, condition,...

According to the Kanjin Honzon Sho, the Shakyamuni that attained enlightenment for the first time in India (shijoshogakku) has died, along with his emanation (funjin) Buddhas and their lands. The saha world is the eternal pure land, which is impervious to the four time periods. Gassho 正法 Where does...
