Talk:Buddhist liturgy

message: This article purports to be about gongyo in general, but in fact it is about gongyo as performed by Sōka Gakkai International (SGI) and the Nichiren Shu headquartered at Minobu.
I have rewritten the lead hook to inform readers that gongyo is, in fact, common to most denominations of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Buddhism and that each school has its own format and content.
I also created a new section for Nichiren Buddhism, and moved and confined to a specific section all information on Soka Gakkai/SGI practice; information on Nichiren-Shu gongyo already conformed to this convention.
I'm hoping that contributors familiar with other schools of Buddhism will either add sections for the sects they know, or create separate articles—e.g., "Gongyo (xxxx School)"—for them.
Further, the subsections on Soka/SGI's format and Nichiren-Shu's format are inconsistent in presentation, and there is not mention of things like the significance of their respective gongyos or their histories. I don't want to rewrite these sections myself so as to avoid conflicts of interest, and because I'm not familiar with these sects' practices anymore.
Meanwhile, sometime I will add a subsection to the "Gongyo in Nichiren Buddhism" section covering Nichiren Shoshu, and I suggest that people familiar with other Nichiren Schools write about the ones they know about.
I also rewrote the "Note" under Soka Gakkai/SGI format because I believe it was factually inaccurate. It may still be to a small degree, so I invite correction: if I am not mistaken, SGI did not officially announce its new gongyo format until quite recently (2003 or 2004), though they had "tweaked" it a bit quite a bit earlier and had long permitted some variation from the standard form. It is also my understanding that Soka/SGI's stance is rather flexible and that they have made the changes optional, since many older members are uncomfortable with them. It would be helpful if someone could verify this. There might also be differences between countries in which SGI has a presence so as to adapt to local preferences.

replies: text: Thanks Jim for the update.  It's greatly appreciated.  I have added a section on Gongyo within Japanese Pure Land Buddhism to help round out this important article.  Hopefully folks familiar with other sects (Zen? Shingon? Chinese/Korean Buddhism) can chime in as well. Ph0kin 19:49, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Fixes; Request for Factual Verification

message: What might be more useful other than statements of the kind “oh we are so much better/different than them” is to focus on the bare facts and description of the practise. Somehow I believe the article is intended to DESCRIBE a practise not to defend it.--Catflap08 (talk) 19:37, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

message: While I agree with the above (albeit over a decade old) sentiment that the entire history of changes is not all that vital, to be complete, it should go back to the 1930s. And, as it now stands, it's inaccurate. May I amend? --Daveler16 (talk) 21:23, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
