Flag
The flag shown is the wrong flag. This: Sanshokuki2 Is the proper flag. I can't make the edit because it locked
Made some corrections
Wow, there are a lot of things with no source, or wrongly quoted sources. Changed some in Gohonzon, "Faith Practice and Study", and Chanting.--JackBNimble43 (talk) 22:53, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
Contradicts itself
The article contradicts itself:
T’ien-t’ai (538–597), Chinese Buddhist scholar who upheld the Lotus Sutra, developed a theoretical system to describe the infinite interconnectedness of life translated as "the principle of the mutually inclusive relationship of a single moment of life and all phenomena" or "three thousand realms in a single moment of life" (Japanese: ichinen sanzen).
Then underneath this it has
The "philosophy of life" restates principles formulated by Nichiren: "three thousand conditions in a single moment" (ichinen sanzen), and "observing one's own mind" (kanjin)
Which of these formulated the principles? PeepleLikeYou (talk) 11:22, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
It could be more clearly stated, yes, but there's not a contradiction that I see. The concept originated with Tien Tai, Nichiren expounded on it and put his own stamp on it, and "the philosophy of life" is based on what Nichiren said about ti. So both are true. Does that make sense?--Daveler16 (talk) 04:17, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
Links
Not sure we want to include new links to pages that are being evaluated for their validity. The pages related to Nichiren Shoshu and Taisekiji are largely unsourced "original research"; or the citations are to the subject's own websites - both violations of WP policy. --Daveler16 (talk) 04:20, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
Removed picture
A pic of a Gohonzon was added directly under the pic of the Gohonzon that's already here. As there is no need for it, and no need to specify who transcribed it or to use the Japanese word for "altar", I removed it.--Daveler16 (talk) 16:57, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Butsudan and altar and not exactly synonymous. A butsudan is the box that holds a gohonzon. The altar is the broader setup. Secondly the transcriber of the Gohonzon is important because it was a signficant part of the history of the Soka Gakkai. It was the Gohonzon that was distributed after the expulsion from Nichiren Shoshu. It is commonly referred to as the "Nichikan Gohonzon". It is also significant that the distributed Gohonzon is an edited version of the original. The remove those statements takes out crucial details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.88.88.75 (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
