Kempon Hokke Practice

Does the whole of Kempon Hokke's practice belong on Wikipedia? Wouldn't an overview do? ~ Stephen (talk) 22:38, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed all the info, I don't think it belonged. It belongs on the official KH website, with an external link to it from Wiki. ~ Stephen (talk) 23:09, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've undid my edit, by which I mean I've added the info back. I did this because it wasn't my place to remove it in the first place. Stephen (talk) 22:55, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beliefs section

Aren't the beliefs listed (e.g., the T'ien-T'ai underpinnings) non-unique to the Kempon Hokke? I.e., isn't that shared among all Nichiren Buddhisms?

What's unique about the Kempon Hokke as opposed to the Nichiren Shu or the Nichiren Shoshu? - Pqnelson (talk) 16:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, it is not unique info and may have been put there by one of the aggressive American members. Shii (tock) 10:49, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is unique about the Kempon Hokke: The Succession Through the Scrolls of the Sutra [including Gohonzon] and authenticated writings of Nichiren Daishonin; a bodily reading of the Lotus Sutra in the manner of Nichiren; textual parsimony; ability of each member to independently bestow Gohonzon; never having lost a formal Nichiren debate; direct discipleship with the founders; more formal remonstrations with the authorities than any other Nichiren school and as a corollary, many noteworthy martyrs; principle performance of the forceful practices; instrumental in the fight to have Nichiren formally recognized as Great Bodhisattva of the nation; honestly following the teachings of Nichiren without adding or subtracting so much as a dot; instrumental in maintaining the Nichiren tradition [faith and practice of Nichiren]; faith and practice of relative monism as path to absolute monism; actual realization of Buddhahood in this very body [Sokushin Jobutsu]. -- Mark Rogow disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3B86:5979:447D:6F61:DDCB:9EC6 (talk) 00:20, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
