There are numerous forged Gosho out there. Rev. Tsuchiya posted a really good list on his website that I would recommend everyone check out before they start on their studies. You can find the list at:<br /><br />http://www.kempon.net/authentic%20writings.html<br /><br />Fred Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933923626487159106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586235468218015990.post-73774548292413506302013-06-28T04:14:17.793-07:002013-06-28T04:14:17.793-07:00Vanya, to answer your question, the rules set down...Vanya, to answer your question, the rules set down by Myomanji, Kempon Hokke's head temple, do address your question. <br /><br />"If the husband is of another faith and the wife of ours, never expel him from the community. But if the husband is ours and the wife an outsider, wait three years [for her to convert] before expelling them both."<br /><br />I would address this issue to Rev. Tsuchiya, as he is the one qualified to expand on this.<br /><br />I hope that helps in some way!<br /><br />Gassho!Fred Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933923626487159106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586235468218015990.post-80124518876434011792013-06-23T09:55:06.659-07:002013-06-23T09:55:06.659-07:00It's looking really good!

I'll reread my scholarly stuff on original enlightenment and then boil it down into plain English! Arg, I can do it, I'm rolling up my sleeves now..lol<br /><br />gosh, my pleasure!!<br /><br />Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102602661660565932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586235468218015990.post-2383848612660388962013-06-21T19:36:39.897-07:002013-06-21T19:36:39.897-07:00Hi Claudia!

I have a request. Could you post something in plain-speak explaining the differences between the original enlightenment thought that those of us who started in SGI and NSA are familiar with in contrast with what KHS teaches? That would really help my understanding and I think it would help anyone who comes across this blog.<br /><br />Thanks!Masaruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194559011878062575noreply@blogger.com
