Charles Atkins has written a new manifesto. Tenets include:

Shakyamuni is the Original BuddhaNichiren is not the focus, he is the votary that points to the Buddha and the Lotus SutraThe Gosho should be read as directing us to the Lotus SutraEvery person has Buddha NatureShakyamuni trained us in the remote past as His great bodhisattvas to save this and other developing worlds throughout the universeThe ultimate truth of the Buddha is found in the Lifespan, Emerging from the Earth, and Treasure Tower chapters of the Lotus SutraNichiren is not the true Buddha, he is a prophet and worthy sage. It is apparent that he is a Votary of the Lotus SutraThere is no validity to the authenticity of the so-called Dai-Gohonzon of 10/12/1279Chanting daimoku to a mandala is not necessary to attain enlightenmentAligning with and accepting the Lotus Sutra is sufficient for salvation and awakeningNamu-myoho-renge-kyo is the actual invocationChanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is appropriate and beneficialSilent, Samadhi meditation is of great value

How many Nichiren Manifestos do we need - Original - Modern - Post Modern - Revolutionary - Post Revolutionary?It reminds me of "The Life of Brian"!

Followed the link in the Sites to See listing. There are a couple good satirical interviews up at this site:http://www.morzh.com/wordpress/
