:) Only the Sovereign, Emperor of Japan (or Empress if primogenture is no longer followed) can declare Kosen-Rufu for Nichiren Shoshu and only he can declare to erecting the Honmon Kaidan as the National Platform for the Dai Gohonzon in Mount Fuji. Not even the High Priests have this accorded privil...

If mixed religious teachings and practices of Soka Gakkai are openly done in your SGI organization, then they are no longer teaching and following the parent doctrines of Nichiren Shoshu. Your lack of understanding regarding the doctrines of Nichiren Shoshu suggests you have a lot of studying and re...

Mixing various religious practices are Not the teachings of the Head Temple.





You can read the direct subject on Nichiren Shoshu and Nichiren Daishonin on Wikipedia or at www.NST.org for your further understanding and clarity of the topic.

Please Connect with a Nichiren Shoshu Temple near you and get an authorized copy of the Dai Gohonzon from a Nichiren Shoshu priest, follow the guidance and teachings of the Head Temple Taisekiji and practice again without force or begrudgement. You don’t need Faith, just the willingness and sincerit...

Just to clarify to avoid confusion, The main hall (Hondo) of the Head Temple is not the Hoando, it is just a general storage house for the Dai Gohonzon mandala, and is a temporary building. The designated main hall of the Head Temple is the Mieido building, and this is also a temporary structure unt...

Actually “Shonin” literally translates to “Correct Person” or “True Person” But this title has been used for many Japanese Buddhist sects in deference to their superiors, so naturally the same method is used in Nichiren Shoshu. The word “master” commonly used by Hokkeko priests to their Chief Priest...

We are also practitioners of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism. I like the fact that all the original/older Soka Gakkai beliefs and religious practices are fully found intact within Nichiren Shoshu doctrines, and that the Head Temple protects these traditionalist teachings through our Hokkeko practice. Going...

You have a habit of going outside the topic and provoking Trollish reactions to which I make no interest to engage. My post did not include anything about the Dai Gohonzon of the High Sanctuary nor the Doctrine of Hombutsu, but you felt the need to Troll incessantly to justify your Nichiren Shu here...

Please go back to reading the "Nichiren Shoshu - Basics of Practice" to refresh your old doctrines on Hokkeko teachings.

Or it may be apparent that you never learned them correctly on the first place so now you have no current understanding of my statement.

Nichimoku Shonin, the third High Priest of Nichiren Shoshu met the Daishonin at age 14 to 15. He was practicing as a student in a Shingon Temple of Vajrayana Buddhism but was convinced by the argument of Nikko Shonin who eventually took him as a disciple, from Mount Izu to Mount Minobu where he serv...

SGI making their own interpretative Gohonzon for their believers is an excellent decision. Yes, that would be a tremendous benefit for everyone concerned and I can imagine many Nichiren Shoshu believers would also be delighted for the senior SGI leadership to stop using any renditions of the Dai Goh...

Good luck. People with much more pull than you can imagine have tried and ended up giving up. The power of least common denominator. You're dealing with an organization that is part of the Japanese government. Power is deep, heavy and well funded. Momentum is set and they've already dealt with you ...

Bobby, The Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist terminologies accorded to the Sutra recitations are the following; Hoben — 2nd prose Seogyo — 2nd verse Chogyo — 2nd prose Jigage — 2nd verse The Seogyo recitation was gradually stopped during the tenure of High Priest Nittatsu Shonin 66th, as it was limited only ...

Hi Bobby, Those digital sermons and doctrinal documents may be found in Nichiren Shoshu discussion groups on FaceBook. But they are only shared within that group so someone who is Hokkeko would have to access them first. If they are with Soka Gakkai, they should contact the Kaidozan Shoboji Temple t...

Bobby here you go https://honseiji.org/documents/Nichiren-Shoshu-Basics-of-Practice.pdf That’s the book we want aspiring Nichiren Shōshū believers to read. It’s the most important book to read first before any other publication from the NST. Aside from that, we are also called to point out that Soka...

The honorable sacred precepts (Go JuKai) of Nichiren Shoshu composes of three vows. The third question is the one that refers to the Diamond Cup 1. “Do you faithfully swear to practice the true teachings of Nichiren Daishonin throughout your life?” 2. “Do you faithfully swear to protect the Gohonzon...

That is an image of the Dai Gohonzon transcribed by 67th High Priest NIKKEN Shonin. It is the 1985 Mandala version, same as the one installed in Los Angeles Myohoji Temple in 1997. The Chief priest assigned to this New York Temple is Vice-President Shinga Takikawa.

The import of Japanese religious terminology on Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist practice is an integral part in respecting both the religion and its daily behavioral practice upon the believer. It is not done to superficially impress others or create a false sense of pretentiosity as if it’s a standard of ...

In Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist practice, we also use the terms "O-shikimi" and "Okyobon" among other things such as "Ojuzu" / "Onenju" and "O-mamori" since in Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist practice, since we strongly believe that Buddhist paraphernalias acquire very sacred properties when used in front of t...

Honestly, I wish he would, or that SG would come up with their own gohonzon. I don't mean it out of any animosity toward SG or its practitioners, but I think it's an important that the "divorce" be finalized. Given the importance of the gohonzon, this is an important step. I nearly turned away from...
