	Changed the title of "Practices" back to "Practices", and added a clarifying opening sentence. Also, changed the first sentence in the "Gohonzon" section to match what the attributed source (Seager) actually says.--] (]) 20:16, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

	Also changed the caption of the Gohonzon picture so that it is relevant to the Soka Gakkai article, rather than impposing the views of another sect on the Soka Gakkai.--] (]) 21:14, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

	Removed a "timeline" that had no referenced source, and replaced it with a source that had previously been removed and replaced by said timeline. And while it is fair to note that the Soka Gakkai still has websites that are critical of Nichiren Shoshu, wording changed to reflect that those websites were constructed many years ago.

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)
