You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((nihongo|'''Kempon Hokke-shū'''|顕本法華宗)) is a branch of [[Nichiren Buddhism]] based on the teachings of 13th-century Japanese monk [[Nichiren]]. It was founded by [[Nichijū]] in 1384. In Japan it has a membership of about 100,000 households((Citation needed|date=June 2012)) and several lay members overseas. The international branch of Kempon Hokke Shu is currently headed by Rev. Sinyou Tsuchiya.

==Overview==
Kempon Hokke's head temple, ((Nihongo|Myōman-ji|妙満寺|)), is located in [[Kyoto]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.japanvisitor.com/japan-temples-shrines/myomanji-temple|title=Myomanji Temple &#124; JapanVisitor Japan Travel Guide|website=www.japanvisitor.com))</ref> Kempon Hokke Nichiren's religious writings inspired Nichijū to leave the [[Tendai]] sect to learn more about Nichiren by visiting the various Nichiren temples. Nichijū believed that these temples had already drifted away from Nichiren's spirit and teachings and founded his own temple, Myōman-ji. In 1898, Myomanji-ha incorporated as the Kempon Hokke school and Honda Nissho (1867–1931) was appointed its first head administrator.

==Beliefs and Practice==
Much of Kempon Hokke's underlying teachings are extensions of [[Tendai]] (天台, Cn: Tiantai) thought. They include much of its worldview and its rationale for criticism of Buddhist schools that do not acknowledge the [[Lotus Sutra]] to be Buddhism's highest teaching, as stated by Buddha Shakyamuni. For example, Kempon Hokke doctrine extends Tendai's ((Nihongo3|goji-hakkyō|五時八教|[[Tiantai#Classification of teachings|classification of the Buddhist sutras]] into [[Tiantai#Five Periods|five time periods]] and [[Tiantai#Eight Teachings|eight categories]])), its theory of ((Nihongo3|Ichinen Sanzen|一念三千|[[Zhiyi#Three Thousand Realms in a Single Moment of Life|3,000 interpenetrating realms within a single life-moment]])), and its view of the ((Nihongo3|Santai|三諦|[[Tiantai#The Threefold Truth|Three Truths]])).

Kempon Hokke teach that to be a disciple of Nichiren, one must:

* Chant [[Nam(u) Myōhō Renge Kyō|Namu Myoho Renge Kyo]] to the Object of Devotion of the Three Great Secret Laws (''[[Gohonzon]]'')
* Believe exclusively in The [[Lotus Sutra]]
* Believe exclusively in Shakyamuni Buddha of the 16th Chapter of the Lotus Sutra
* Tell others to do the same
* Base one's conversion practices on Nichiren's writing, the 'Rissho Ankoku Ron' (On Establishing The Correct Teaching for the Peace of The Land)

Kempon Hokke members chant parts of the [[Lotus Sutra]], as well as the Daimoku, [[Namu Myoho Renge Kyo|Namu-myoho-renge-kyo]], as their primary practice. Kempon Hokke claim to practice [[shakubuku]] towards non-believers, and [[shōju]] towards believers.

The difference of each school's traditional doctrine.

Nichiren Shu was insisting that the Eternal Buddha as the truth of universe is Namu Myoho Renge Kyo Tathagata.

Nichiren Sho Shu insists that Namu Myoho Renge Kyo Tathagata as the Eternal Buddha is Nichiren Daishonin himself.

Those rely on Ongikuden (Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings) which is a forged letter.

Honmon Butsuryu Shu insists that eight chapters (Happon) of Honmon of the Lotus Sutra are the prophecy book which Nichiren shonin appears to save people. They worship only the words of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, but not the Eternal Buddha Sakyamuni.

Kempon Hokke Shu insists that the Eternal Buddha is the Buddha Sakyamuni himself and that the Eternal Buddha Sakyamuni exists in each people's mind as the absolute spirit. It relies on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren's.
