Nichirenism and Nichikan

We've been discussing Nichikan at Sokagakkai Unofficial I realize its time to start talking about Buddhism and religion again. The country is starting to see the true face of the President, and I've convinced myself that I've done what I can on the subject. Time to move on.

Still my heart isn't in trying to explain why Nichikan's teachings should be abandoned or redeemed. First I still don't have all the source material. To properly critique a person's ideas we need them in our own language. I'll start reading again. I miss the hope that the teachings of the Lotus Sutra bring, and that especially those of Nichiren, Dengyo and Nichiren's disciples offer.
