RewriteEdit

The content for my rewrite was taken from a list of bullet points, so this could do with some rewriting.

Also, the writeup currently lists only the active Japanese schools of Buddhism; the now extinct pre-Nara schools, eg. Sanron (Sanlun), are missing. Jpatokal 06:02, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Fuke school of Zen Edit

Added some information on this inactive school taken in part from Japanese version at 普化宗. Fg2 11:24, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Nichiren is regarded as Kamakura Buddhism. Kamakura Shogunate was officially founded in 1192 but there are decades of dominance by samurai over nobility which led to this. Also, Nichiren's polemic against Zen and Pureland is famous. Also, I put Nichiren Soshu under Nichiren and then mentioned two main division, Nichiren Shu and Nichiren Soshu.

In modern times, there are FOUR main paths of Buddhism,...

1. the Amidist (Pure Land) schools, 2. Nichiren Buddhism, 3. Zen Buddhism. 4. ?

Either the author has forgotten one, or there are only three. Greets, Pyren.exactely

How about 4. Esoteric Buddhism (Shingon and Tendai) ? J Heath 03:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
