English: Nichiren taught the idea that any unenlightened person kept 'bussho' (the Buddhist nature) in the inside of him and once he performed a Buddhist practice (called 'gyo') of chanting the Nichiren chant 'Nam Myohorenge-kyo' (called 'shodai'), 'bussho' would appear on the outside of him.
Japanese: 日蓮は、いかなる凡夫にも「仏性」が秘められており、「南無妙法蓮華経」（なむ・みょうほうれんげきょう）と題目を唱える「唱題」の行(仏教)を行えば「仏性」が顕現するという思想を説いた。
English: After the death of the founder Nichiren, the differences of the thoughts about honbutsu (the true Buddha) and of the thoughts about the relative merit of the early part and the latter part of "Myohorenge-kyo" made branch groups which is roughly divided into three schools.
Japanese: 宗祖日蓮以降、本仏の位置付けや、所依の妙法蓮華経に対し勝劣の別を設けるかどうかなどの点から、思想面では大別して3つの分派が成立した。
English: Nijuhachi-bon (twenty-eight chapters) forming Myohorenge-kyo are divided into two part; the early part is called 'Shakumon' (the Trace Gate) and the latter part is called 'Honmon' (the Source Gate).
Japanese: 所依の妙法蓮華経を構成する二十八品（28章）は前半の「迹門」、後半の「本門」に二分される。
English: Shoretsu school considers that the secret of Hokke-kyo exists in Honmon, while Icchi school insists that the whole Nijuhachi-bon should be treated as a unit.
Japanese: 本門に法華経の極意があるとするのが勝劣派、二十八品全体を一体のものとして扱うべきとするのが一致派。
English: Today some temples belong to the Nichiren sect including one Sozan (Sohonzan), fourteen Reiseki-jiin (temples having holy relic including seven Daihonzan and seven Honzan) and fourty-two Yuisho-jiin (temples of a long history including fourty-two Honzan) accept such schools.
Japanese: 現在、日蓮宗を構成している祖山1(総本山）、霊蹟寺院14（大本山7、本山7）、由緒寺院42（本山42）については上記各門流を抱合している。
English: After executing Haibutsu-kishaku (a movement to abolish Buddhism) soon after the Meiji restoration, the Meiji government announced 'Isshu Ichikanncho-sei' (the system of one chief abbot in one sect) to each Buddhist sect, and ordered them to form an integrated religious community.
Japanese: 明治維新直後の廃仏毀釈の後、明治政府は仏教各派に対し一宗一管長制を打ち出し、統一教団の結成を要求。
English: In 1874 this Nichiren sect was split into Nichirenshu Icchi-ha (Icchi school of the Nichiren sect) and Nichirenshu Shoretsu-ha (Shoretsu school of the Nichiren sect) because of the difference of the dharma.
Japanese: この日蓮宗は、1874年（明治7年）、教義の違いから日蓮宗一致派と日蓮宗勝劣派に二分した。
English: In 1876, the Icchi school changed the name into the Nichiren sect and was reorganized as an integrated religious community of 'the Icchi school which regards Shakya-muni as honbutsu' including the Niko school and the Nichijo school.
Japanese: 1876年（明治9年）、一致派は日蓮宗と改称、「釈尊を本仏とする一致派」(日向門流、日常門流など)の統一教団として再組織された。
English: In 1941 the government ordered in the name of the state of emergency that the religions and sects having the same founder of religion or the same founder of sect or the same dharma should be consolidated.
Japanese: 1941年（昭和16年）、時局緊迫を理由に政府当局が教祖、宗祖や教義を同じくする諸宗教、諸宗派に統合を迫る。
English: Against the background of such situation, the three sects including the Kenpon-hokke sect (the Nichiju school) which was 'the Shoretsu school saying Shakya-muni was honbutsu,' the Honmon sect (the Nikko school) which was 'the Shoretsu school saying Nichiren was honbutsu,' and the Nichiren sect formally dissolved each sect and merged on an equal footing (the merger of three schools).
Japanese: このような時勢の後押しを受け、「釈尊を本仏とする勝劣派」である顕本法華宗（日什門流）「日蓮を本仏とする勝劣派」である本門宗（日興門流）と、日蓮宗が、形式上、それぞれの宗派を解消して対等の立場で合併（三派合同）。
English: As a result, a new Nichiren sect was established including many schools and various thoughts which had been formed in the Kamakura period.
Japanese: 中世期に成立していた門流の多くと、思想的潮流の相当部分を包含する新生日蓮宗が結成された。
English: After the end of World War II, 'the pressure which had forced the integration' disappeared, and some head temples and branch temples which belonged to the former Kenpon-hokke sect and the former the Honmon sect left the Nichiren sect to become independent temples.
Japanese: 第二次世界大戦終戦により「統合を強要する圧力」が消滅したりするのに伴い、旧顕本法華宗、旧本門宗に属する本山、末寺には日蓮宗より独立するものもあった。
English: However, some temples have been keeping their original dharma without leaving the Nichiren sect; the followings are such temples; the reformist Honzan (head temple of the lower rank) of the former Kenpon-hokke sect including Myokoku-ji Temple, Honko-ji Temple, Genmyo-ji Temple and Myoritsu-ji Temple and their branch temples; the Daihonzan of the former Honmon sect, Omosu Honmon-ji Temple, and the Honzan of the same sect including Koizumi Kuon-ji Temple and Yanase Jitsujo-ji Temple and their branch temples.
Japanese: が、旧顕本法華宗の改革派である本山妙國寺、本山本興寺、本山玄妙寺、本山妙立寺、や、旧本門宗の大本山重須本門寺、本山小泉久遠寺、本山柳瀬実成寺とそれらの末寺は引き続き、日蓮宗の内部で固有の教義を維持し続けている。
English: It can be thought that this is because Chinese Tendai sect (Tiantai-zong) incorporated the Nehan sect (Niepan-zong) which was based on "Daihatsu Nehan-gyo" (Daban Niepan-jing, the Nirvana Sutra), one of Mahayana Sutra of the middle period, in which the term 'bussho' (仏性foxing) appeared for the first time.
Japanese: これは仏性が初めて説かれる中期大乗経典の大般涅槃経を依経とする涅槃宗を中国天台宗が吸収したことによるものと考えられる。
English: It is believed that since Nichiren had studied at Enryaku-ji Temple located on Mt. Hiei which had been established by Saicho, the founder of the Tendai sect originated from Chinese Tendai sect, Nichiren emphasized Hokke-kyo.
Japanese: 法華経の位置付けは、中国天台宗の流れを汲む天台宗の宗祖最澄の開いた比叡山延暦寺での修行の影響とされる。
English: Originally, Buddhism was based on a huge amount of Buddhist scriptures in which the teaching of Shakya-muni, the founder of the religion, was written by his disciples after his death.
Japanese: そもそも仏教は、開祖である釈迦の教えをその死後に弟子達が書き顕した膨大な量の経典に基づいている。
English: Generally, it is very difficult to read all of them and understood all the meaning correctly.
Japanese: 一般には、それらを全て読破することは勿論、ましてや全ての意味を正確に理解することなどはきわめて困難である。
English: Considering the social situation that too many sects were founded in China, it was natural that 'which Buddhist scripture was the most important in Buddhism' had gradually become the sole biggest problem among Buddhist.
Japanese: 中国では、さまざまな宗派が乱立していく中で、「一体どの仏典が仏教の一番肝心な教えなのか」という論点が仏教者の間で次第に唯一最大の関心事となっていったことは、ある意味、時代の必然であったと言える。
English: For a long time researched Buddhist scriptures, Great Priest Zhiyi of Tiantai concluded that Hokke-kyo ('sad dharma pundarika sutra' in Sanskrit which means 'right dharma, white lotus flower') was the supreme teaching which Shakya-muni had reached at the age of over 70.
Japanese: 天台大師智顗（ちぎ）は長年にわたる経典研究の結果、法華経（サンスクリット語名「サッダルマ・プンダリーカ・スートラ」（「正しい法"白き蓮の花"」の意）を、釈迦が七十数歳にして到達した最高の教えであると結論付けた。
English: Especially, he considered that "Myohorenge-kyo" ("Miaofa Lianhua-jing" commonly translated as "the Lotus Sutra") which was said to have been translated into Chinese by Kumaraju (Kumaarajiiva) was the best translation.
Japanese: とりわけ鳩摩羅什（くまらじゅう）の手が入ったと言われる漢訳「妙法蓮華経」を最もすぐれた翻訳とした。
English: It is generally thought that since being affected by such idea of Priest Zhiyi of Tiantai, Nichiren regarded Hokke-kyo (Myohorenge-kyo) as the supreme Buddhist scripture.
Japanese: こうした天台大師智顗の思想の影響を受けて日蓮は法華経を最高の経典とした、という見方が一般的である。
English: At the same time, based on the mental aspect of Nichiren, it is considered that since he found the life of the ascetic described in Hokke-kyo and his own life was the same, he became aware of being 'Jogyo Bosatsu' (the head of 'Honge-jiyu Bosatsu,' Bodhisattva who had to assist Shakya-muni in the mission) (called 'Jogyo Ojo').
Japanese: と同時に日蓮の心理的内面に即して言えば、何よりも彼は、法華経に書かれている行者の姿と自身の生活の軌跡が符合したことに最大の根拠を見出して、上行菩薩（本佛釈尊より弘通の委嘱を受けた本化地涌菩薩の上首）としての自覚を得るに至ったのである（上行応生）。
English: Under the present religious system of the Nichiren sect, temples are classified into Sozan, Reiseki-jiin, Yuisho-jiin and Ippan-jiin (common temples).
Japanese: 現在の日蓮宗宗制では寺院は祖山、霊蹟寺院、由緒寺院、一般寺院に分けられている。
English: Jikaku (status of a Buddhist temple), which was originated from Honmatsu-seido (the government-enforced main-branch temple system) in the Edo period, was dissolved in 1941 and does not exist now.
Japanese: 江戸時代の本末制度に始まる寺格は昭和16年の本末解体で消滅し実態はない。
English: However, the religious system of the Nichiren sect prescribes that each temple can use the title of Sohonzan or Daihonzan or Honzan.
Japanese: が、日蓮宗宗制では総本山・大本山・本山の称号を用いることができると規定されている。
English: Sozan' is Kuon-ji Temple located on Mt. Minobu (which is considered to be the sacred mountain where Nichiren as a god lives) where Nichiren's remains were buried by his will, and Kanju (the head priest) of Sozan is called 'Hoshu.'
Japanese: 祖山は日蓮の遺言に従い遺骨が埋葬された祖廟がある身延山久遠寺（日蓮棲神の霊山とされる）で、貫首を法主と称する。
English: Reiseki-jiin' is the important site of Nichiren and 'Yuisho-jiin' has a distinguished history in the history of the sect, and both head priests (legal representative board) are called 'Kanju' (in Nakayama Hokkekyo-ji Temple, the head priest is called 'Denshu').
Japanese: 霊蹟寺院は日蓮一代の重要な事跡、由緒寺院は宗門史上顕著な沿革のある寺院で、住職(法律上の代表役員）を貫首と称する（中山法華経寺では伝主とされている）。
English: The president is Nisso UCHINO (hoen of Cho-shi) the Hoshu of Kuon-ji Temple on Mt. Minobu, and the chairman is Nikkan NAGAKURA (hoen of Cho-shi) the Kanju of Hongaku-ji Temple on Mt. Myogon, and the office is temporarily located in Komatsubara Kyonin-ji Temple at present.
Japanese: 総裁は身延山久遠寺内野日總法主（潮師法縁）、会長は妙厳山本覚寺永倉日侃貫首（潮師法縁）、事務局は現在臨時として小松原鏡忍寺に設置されている。
English: It is one of the approaches of propagation by Buddhism (especially Nichiren-related religious schools), and is a word as opposed to shoju (a method of expounding Buddhism in which one gradually leads another to the correct teaching according to that person's capacity and without refuting his or her attachment to mistaken views).
Japanese: 仏教（特に日蓮系の宗派）における布教姿勢の一つで、摂受（しょうじゅ）に対する語。
English: It is to preach Buddhism through dialogue, not by compromising oneself to appeal to someone, but by insisting that what is right is right.
Japanese: 相手の間違った思想に迎合することなく、正しいものは正しいと言い切り、相手と対話を通じて仏法を伝えること。
English: Based on 'No mater who the person may be, to the extent my order is effective, I will apply shakubuku to him if he is to be chastened or I will apply shoju if he is to be saved, the reason for which is to spread widely throughout the world the teaching of the truth (Shobo [the true teachings of Buddha])' written in 'Shomanngyo' (Srimala Sutra), the two methods, namely the application of shakubuku to the bad and that of shoju to the good are considered to be the major principles of Buddhism.
Japanese: 「勝鬘経（しょうまんぎょう）」の「我得力時。於彼処見此衆生。応折伏者而折伏之。応摂受者而摂受之。何以故。以折伏摂受故令法久住」を出典とし、悪人を折伏し善人を摂受することで、この二門は仏道の大綱であるとされる。
English: As Nichiren, in his literary work, "Kaimokusho" (Liberation from Blindness) judged that shakubuku was a more suitable propagation method than shoju in the era of Mappo (the phase of decadent after Zoho) in Japan, it has been the word frequently used especially by various schools of Hokkeshu sect.
Japanese: 日蓮がその著作『開目抄』において、摂受よりも折伏の方が末法時代の日本においては適した布教法であると判定していることから、法華宗各派では特によく使用される言葉である。
English: Nichiren took a skeptical view of the way in which many teachings contradictory to each other were claimed to be the teaching of Shakyamuni.
Japanese: 日蓮は、当時の仏教界に互いに矛盾する多くの教えがあり、どれもが釈尊の教えと称していることに疑問を持っていた。
English: As a result of having practiced asceticism at Mt. Hiei seeking the true teaching of Shakyamuni, Nichiren considered what Tendai Daishi called the Kyoso hanjaku (evaluation of sutras) (Buddhist Doctrines known as "Fivefold Periods and Eight Teachings") to be a correct one, reached the conclusion that Hokke-kyo Sutra was the true teaching of Shakyamuni, and began to do shakubuku with the four dictums (of Nichiren Buddhism) according to "Fivefold Periods and Eight Teachings."
Japanese: 釈尊の真の教えを求めて比叡山にて修行を積んだ結果、天台大師のいう教相判釈（五時八教説）が正しいものと考え、法華経が釈尊の真の教えであるとの結論に達し、五時八教説に依って四箇格言を掲げて折伏を行うようになった。
English: Since Nichiren, his Hokkeshu sect followed the teaching, performing street preaching at various places, and strived for shakubuku.
Japanese: 日蓮以降、日蓮法華宗はその教えに随い各地で辻説法を行い折伏に励んだ。
English: Also, in 1608, Nikkyo of Nichirenshu sect's Joraku-in Temple who criticized Jodoshu sect (Pure Land sect of Buddhism) in Owari Province (Aichi Prefecture) was prosecuted, called back to the Edo bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), and ordered to hold a dialogue with Jodoshu sect at Edo-jo Castle, but failed in fully answering questions because he had been attacked and injured by a mob at the previous night or because he pretended he was sick, thus ending up a victory of Jodoshu sect.
Japanese: また慶長13年（1608年）には、日蓮宗常楽院の日経が、尾張（愛知県）で浄土宗を批判したため、訴追されて江戸幕府に召還され、江戸城で浄土宗と問答を行うよう命じられたが、その前夜に暴徒に襲われ負傷した、もしくは病を称して問答に十分応えず、浄土宗の勝利に終わった。
English: Taking this occasion, Ieyasu TOKUGAWA was ordered to write and submit a letter of awareness stating that the sansho (three norms to be used for discrimination between right and wrong in religion) in the Four Dictums (of Nichiren Buddhism) did not exist.
Japanese: 徳川家康はこれを機に、四箇格言の「四箇格言念仏無間」の三証はないという念書を書かされ提出を求められた。
English: This resulted in severe suppression of shakubuku practiced by Nichiren's Hokkeshu sect.
Japanese: これにより日蓮法華宗はその折伏という手段を大きく抑制されてしまう結果となった。
English: The 'Big March for Shakubuku' campain started by Soka Gakkai after 1951 has made the shakubuku known in general.
Japanese: 折伏が一般的に知られるようになったのは、創価学会が1951年以降に始めた「折伏大行進」キャンペーンである。
English: The present Soka Gakkai is relatively refraining from conducting such a large-scale campaign, while not only non-believers, but believers admit that it was extremely severe at that time as compared with today, yet there are many who are proud of it.
Japanese: 現在の創価学会ではそのような大々的な布教活動は比較的影を潜めているが、当時は現在と比べても極めて激しいものであったことを非信者はもちろん、信者側も認めた上で誇りとする人も少なくない。
English: This Shakubuku Scripture is an original one of Soka Gakkai and is not publicly available at present, but its contents are thorough criticism and condemnations of all kinds of religious philosophies including Nichirenshu sect, Tendaishu sect, Shingonshu sect, Zen sect, Nenbutsushu sect, and Christianity, etc.
Japanese: この折伏教典は創価学会独自のもので現在は刊行されていないが、そこには日蓮宗、天台宗、真言宗、禅宗、念仏宗、キリスト教などありとあらゆる宗教哲学に対して徹底的に批判・断罪した内容であった。
English: Many of those who have been criticizing it since then continuously are allergic and have a sense of vigilance against Soka Gakkai because of the 'incidents of speech and press interference' in addition to the severity of shakubuku at that time.
Japanese: 当時から批判している人の多くは、この当時の折伏の激しさに加え「言論出版妨害事件」なども相まって、創価学会に対するアレルギーや警戒感を現在でも絶えず持っている。
English: In recent years, cases of the shakubuku by extremist organization's believers getting into trouble with the police have been reported by mass media.
Japanese: 近年では、急進派団体の信者による折伏によって、警察沙汰にまで発展したことがマスコミで報じられている。
English: However, there are differences of insistence and interpretation that shakubuku is a method to be applied to persons who understand Buddhism to a certain extent or those who have advanced understanding through the teaching of the same sect, and that it should not be applied to those who do not know what is Buddhism.
Japanese: しかし折伏は、仏の教えをある程度理解している人、もしくは同門（その宗派）の教えで理解が進んだ人に対して行われる手法であり、仏教を知らない人に使う手法ではない、といった主張や解釈の違いもある。
English: Also, it is pointed out that, although shakubuku and shoju are said to be opposite techniques, both of them are absolutely inseparable Homon (dharma-gates) for the conversion to Buddhism (for having the teachings of Buddhism understood).
Japanese: また折伏と摂受は正反対な手法とされるが、化導法（仏の教えを理解せしめていく上）では、どちらも切っても切れない不二の法門である、という指摘もなされている。
English: Examining the differences of attitudes toward shakubuku by different schools of Hokkeshu sect, we find that Minobu group (Nichirenshu sect, etc.) emphasizes the separate use of shakubuku and shoju as the situation demands, while Fuji group (Nichiren Shoshu sect, etc.) absolutely considers shakubuku the true intent of the soso (the founder of a religious sect).
Japanese: 法華宗各派における折伏に対する姿勢の違いを見ていくと、身延系（日蓮宗など）では折伏・摂受の二門の状況に応じた使い分けを強調するのに対し、富士系（日蓮正宗など）では、あくまでも折伏を宗祖の正意としている。
English: The reason why Nichirenshu sect began to practice shoju also is said that it was defeated by Jodoshu sect in the dispute at the Azuchi Dialogue.
Japanese: 日蓮宗が摂受も行うようになったのは、安土問答の法論で浄土宗に負けてからといわれる。
English: Due to various factors, the word shakubuku is presently used to mean 'forceful and annoying inducement to a religious community' as follows:
Japanese: 様々な要因により、現在では下記のような「教団への強引で迷惑な勧誘」との意味に折伏の語は用いられている。
English: Many of the insistences at the time of inducement are character assassination against a religious group whose basic principle itself is different and against its believers, and the denial of science and history; and the entirety of the insistences lacks in logical consistency.
Japanese: 勧誘時の主張の多くが、根本原理自体が違う宗教団体とその信者への誹謗中傷及び科学と歴史の否定であり、主張全体を見ていくと理論的整合性に欠ける。
English: There are many cases where doctors, nurses, Hello Work (Public employment security office) personnel, etc. make improper use of their official competence to enforce religious belief against persons such as hospitalized patients, jobless workers, etc. in the situation where there is no way to say no.
Japanese: 医師、看護師やハローワーク職員等がその職務上の権限を濫用し入院患者、失業者等逆らえない立場の相手に信仰を強要する事例が多い。
English: Partly because these problems frequently happened in the past, Soka Gakkai was forced to make a partial modification to the method of its total revolution across bureaucracy, education circles, the press, medical field, etc.
Japanese: 過去にはこれらの問題が多発したという背景もあり創価学会が官界、教育界、言論界、医療界などを横断した総体革命の方法について一部方向修正を強いられる結果をもたらした。
English: There are many activities (like gangsters'), such as summoning someone with a hidden reason, intimidation like 'Fall into the pits of hell', stalking, justification of use of physical forces (inducement surrounded by a group, violent abduction and captivity, etc.) and so on, which have become social problems.
Japanese: 目的を隠した呼び出しや「地獄に堕ちる」などの脅迫、ストーカー、物理力の行使（集団での取り囲みによる勧誘、暴力を伴う拉致や監禁等）を正当化する等、社会的に問題となっている（暴力団に近い）行動が多い。
English: These are caused by possibilities of exceeding common sense and allowance limits as results of acting under the creed.
Japanese: 教義をもとに活動しているため、一般常識や受忍限度を逸脱する可能性があることによるものである。
English: In order to summon persons as mentioned above, there are cases where personal information is obtained with its purpose hidden from someone just meeting for the first time at an event site or at other places.
Japanese: 上記の呼び出しを行うために、イベント会場等で初対面の人から目的を隠して個人情報を聞き出す例もある。
English: Even at the relatives' gatherings for succession of property, religious conversion, etc. activities which are almost the same as shakubuku are sometimes performed, which may cause serious troubles on human relationship and money problems.
Japanese: 遺産相続や宗旨替えなど、親類同士の場でも折伏に近い活動が行われる事があり、この場合人間関係や金銭問題にも重大なトラブルを起こすことがある。
English: Recently, with the appearance of consultation sites such as some of bulletin-boards, they are coming to the surface although gradually.
Japanese: 最近では一部の掲示板など相談サイトの登場で徐々にではあるが表面化しつつある。
English: If the victims file claims, the police, who are afraid of attacks by the organization, often reject them on grounds of freedom of religion on the side of the perpetrators and nonintervention of civil cases.
Japanese: 被害者側がこれらの被害を訴えても、多くの場合、加害者側の信教の自由と民事不介入を口実に団体による攻撃を恐れた警察側が介入を拒む事が多い。
English: There are cases where, in the trial held in response to charging the police with unjustified search after the perpetrators were captured and the facilities of the religious community were searched, the insistence of the police was totally accepted in the court and no appeal was made, but the voices saying that an appeal was made against the unjustified sentence are sometimes heard within the religious community.
Japanese: また加害者側を逮捕し、教団施設を警察が捜査した後に、不当な捜査だったとして裁判を起こしたが、裁判では警察側の主張を全面的に受け入れ上告しなかったものの、教団内で不当な裁判で上告したと発言する事例も存在する。
English: In cases where inducement among students became a problem within a school, and the perpetrator was demanded to choose either leaving school voluntarily or prohibition of inducement, the religious community influenced the student who did inducement and had him leave school, but they sometimes announces in a meeting within the community that the school forced the student to leave voluntarily.
Japanese: 学生同士の勧誘で学校内で問題になり、学校側から加害者側が自主退学か勧誘の禁止の選択を迫られた場合、団体側が勧誘した生徒に退学するように働きかけた上で、自主退学を学校側に退学させられたとして教団内の会合で発表することもある。
English: If the inducement to the religion is rejected, then it may turn to a crime, which is first of all the forced affiliation to (or rejection of) the religion or donation to the organization by exertion of unlawful physical power, or which is blackmail with the excuse of payment for pain and suffering exploiting the weak point of the relatives opposing the religious belief, or the like.
Japanese: 入信を断った場合に、非合法な物理力の行使による信仰の強制（もしくは拒否）や団体への寄付は勿論、勧誘した側の信仰を反対する親類への弱みに付け込んだ慰謝料を口実とした恐喝等と言った犯罪に発展することもある。
English: In case of asking help for the damage suffered, avoid depending on the religious sect which is opposed to the organization in question (as you should be cautious because there exists 'Victims' Group' which is hiding its religion placed in the opposing relationship, [whose examples are the Soka Gakkai victims' group led by Nichiren Shoshu sect and the Kensho-kai victims' group led by Soka Gakkai]).
Japanese: 被害の対策に当たっては、当該団体と対立関係にある宗教宗派に頼ることは避ける（対立関係にある宗教であることを隠した「被害者の会」（例として日蓮正宗主導の創価学会被害者の会や創価学会主導の顕正会被害者の会）が存在するため、注意を要する）。
English: Especially in some radical organizations, their own shakubuku activities are sometimes called Orugu (organizer) using an analogy from inducement activities for acquiring new activists by each party sect during the heyday of radical groups from 1965 to 1975.
Japanese: 特に急進派の団体で、昭和40～50年代の過激派全盛期の各党派の新人活動家獲得のための勧誘活動になぞらえ自派の折伏活動をオルグ（オルガナイザー）と呼ぶ場合がある。
English: As diversion, inducement methods employed in such vicious sales activities as exhibition selling (painting selling) which is to surround a weak-hearted consumer without telling the real purpose and never leave nor let him or her go till he or she agrees, hypnotic selling, and so on, or adult-entertainment business's scouting activities inducing girls with the truth hidden at the first stage, are sometimes called shakubuku in a self-mocking manner by the vendors.
Japanese: 転用として、実際の目的を告げず気の弱い消費者を取り囲んだり承諾するまで決して帰らない、帰らせないなどする点から展示会商法（絵画商法など）や催眠商法等の悪質商法の勧誘方法、または最初の段階で事実を隠して勧誘することから風俗店のスカウト等を業者側が自嘲的に折伏と表現することがある。
English: Kumano Gongen (also known as Kumano no Kami or Kumano no Okami) is a deity (Shinto) enshrined in Kumano Sanzan (three major shrines, Kumano-hongu-taisha Shrine, Kumano-hayatama-taisha Shrine and Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine) and became to be called gongen (avatar) under Honji-suijaku thought (theory of original reality and manifested traces).
Japanese: 熊野権現（くまのごんげん、または熊野神〈くまののかみ〉、熊野大神〈くまののおおかみ〉とも）は、熊野三山に祀られる神(神道)であり、本地垂迹思想のもとで権現と呼ばれるようになった。
English: Kumano no Kami is called on to shrines around the country and there are about 3,000 shrines that enshrine Kumano no Kami, which are called Kumano-jinja Shrine or Junisho-jinja Shrine.
Japanese: 熊野神は各地の神社に勧請されており、熊野神を祀る熊野神社・十二所神社は日本全国に約3千社ある。
English: The shusaijin (main enshrined deities) Ketsumimiko, Hayatama, and Fusubi (also called Musubi, spelled 牟須美 or 結) are called Kumano sanjo gongen, and other deities together with Kumano sanjo gongen are called Kumano junisho gongen.
Japanese: 特に主祭神である家津美御子（けつみみこ）・速玉・牟須美（ふすび、むすび、または「結」とも表記）のみを指して熊野三所権現、熊野三所権現以外の神々も含めて熊野十二所権現ともいう。
English: Kumano Sanzan is composed of Kumano-hongu-taisha Shrine, Kumano-hayatama-taisha Shrine and Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine, but initially, they developed separately.
Japanese: 熊野三山は熊野本宮大社・熊野速玉大社・熊野那智大社の三社からなるが、当初は別個の展開をたどった。
English: Hongu was founded during the reign of Emperor Sujin, Hayatama during the reign of Emperor Keiko ("Fuso-Ryakki"), and Nachi during the reign of Emperor Kosho by Ragyo (Digambara in Sanskrit) ("Kumanogongen Kongozao Hoden Zoko Nikki"), but it is not known exactly.
Japanese: 本宮は崇神天皇代、速玉は景行天皇代（『扶桑略記』）、那智は考昭天皇代に裸行が開基した（『熊野権現金剛蔵王宝殿造功日記』）したとするが定かではない。
English: In the official history, the names of the deities can be certainly identified in the description in a historical material in 806, which describes four jinfu (vassal households allotted to courtier, shrines and temples) were allotted to Hayatama-no-Kami and Kumano-Fusubi-no-Kami respectively, and it is thought that these two deities were enshrined together in Kumano-shin village that is identified as current Shingu City.
Japanese: 正史において、神名が確実に確認できるのは大同元年（806年）の史料中にある記述で、天平神護2年（766年）付で速玉神と熊野牟須美神にそれぞれ4戸の神封を施入したとあるもので、これら2柱の神は今日の新宮市に比定される熊野神邑（くまのしんそん）に一緒に祀られていたと見られる。
