The question is asked and answered:
Question C#1: How do you make smart priests nervous? (Nichiren Shoshu
priests)
Answer C#1: Mention to him that the crane is "Kyodai-in's Portrait"
We've all heard this phrase over the years and wondered, how the heck
does that picture of a bird and wings and that skinny neck and beak
look like a woman? She must have been a strange looking lady !!! I've
heard it many times from older members, and the priesthood commonly
use the phrase amongst themselves, some knowing, some probably
unbeknownst of the true meaning.
Ah, but what some of us didn't understand was that she didn't "sit"
for the portrait. She was erect, but not upright.
In a quote from: (http://hometown.aol.com/charlestmf/index.html)
"Among the innovations perfected by the corrupted men of power at
this time was 'nawa shibari', the immobilization of naked women by
tying them with ropes, in subjugated positions. One famous position is
called 'Komon Sarashi Shibari', leaving the woman exposed for long
periods of time. Time enough for an artist to be inspired to make an
erotic painting."
With the kômon exposed.
Nikko's School was called, at that time, the Nichiren Shu Komon
School, and was in the process of being subjugated and undermined by
Kyodai-in's cousin, the religious leader of Japanese Buddhism, Shogun
Tokugawa Iemitsu, and with the help of her close personal friend, 17th
High Priest Nissei, to whom she donated money for building the Image
Hall, where her portrait is displayed prominently. The Nichiren sects,
especially Nikko's school, were a real thorn in the side of the
Tokugawa's, so special efforts were made.
Which Komon/kômon is which?
In a class text on Topics in Medieval Japanese History
(http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/g/j/gjs4/480/intro_main.htm):
"Notice also the small line over the last vowel in Hokkaidô. This
line is called a macron, and it indicates that the vowel should be
pronounced for an extended length of time, roughly 1.7 times the
ordinary length. English does not make distinctions between the length
of vowels, but it is very important in Japanese. If, for example, you
are explaining to someone in Japanese that you are so-and-so's
advisor, be careful about vowel length. "Komon" means "advisor," but
the default meaning of "kômon" is "anus" (or, in certain contexts, "a
disciple of Confucius" or "school gate".)"
So someone thought it funny to undermine the only hope of humanity,
the purest remaining school of Nichiren's teachings, with a symbol
that looked like a crane, and well ... something else ...

Question C#1: How do you make smart priests nervous? (Nichiren Shoshu

Answer C#1: Mention to him that the crane is "Kyodai-in's Portrait"
If they know, they will react in a manner that is unmistakeable. And
many old Hokkeko will, too. It shows that they are corrupt, since if
they knew and didn't divorce themselves from bowing to "Kyodai-in's
Portrait", would they be uncorrupted by that? Could they be?
Now, everyone will know.

From "Reply to Kyo'o", Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, p. 412:
Since I heard from you about Kyo'o, I have been praying to the gods of
the sun and moon for her every moment of the day. Always cherish the
Gohonzon that I gave you some time ago for her protection. The
Gohonzon was never known, let alone inscribed, by anyone in the Former
or Middle Day of the Law. The lion king is said to advance three
steps, then gather himself to spring, unleashing the same power
whether he traps a tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal. In inscribing
this Gohonzon for her protection, Nichiren was like the lion king.
This is what the sutra means by "the power [of the Buddhas] that has
the lion's ferocity. Believe in this mandala with all your heart.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can
therefore be an obstacle?

---------------------------------------------------------------
1). RC replies: Answer - "Sho'nuff"! LOL.
a) But, first of all, the message that you "cut & pasted" is so
INaccurate, beside the spelling error, that I/ we should start there;
but, it's probably NOT his/ the poster's ("dc") fault or intention,
because there has been so much done to intentionally cover Up, distort,
flat out LIE about and rewrite Japanese cultural history in general and
its' religious history in particular!
b) Secondly, re. the new subject/ title - you INcorrectly called the
ancient "swastika" symbol an "old Chinese iron cross" like is was an
"old rugged cross" in Christianity - there's NEVER been any such thing
as that; so maybe you'd better lay off that "Ecstasy" stuff, "X-tasy"!
ROTFL.
Maybe it's because of your "Anglish" heritage that you are con-fusing
the time of the Nazis' usage of the swastika with the German's "Iron
Cross," which is an actual cross like a Christian cross, and they are
two (2) different symbols!
As a matter of fact, the old & present-day rifle marksmanship merit
badges awarded in the US Army are exactly what the "Iron Cross(es)" look
like - I won two (2) of the expert badges myself! : - )
However, the swastika is/ was called the "hakenkreuz" in German, meaning
"hooked cross."
"Spraken zie Deutsch, Frau Una baby"?! LOL.
c) So now, to rephrase & answer your question as, "any idea why they
would use the old Chinese swastika" - called a "Wan" in Chinese,
the most correct answer to that, since I/ we cannot read the mind of the
deceased person involved, is probably that the "Daimyo" (feudal lord)
named "Hachisuka Yoshishigi" was an Amida Buddhist, and the swastika
symbol had been used to represent Amidism/ Amida (Pure Land) Buddhism Up
to that period of time in Japanese cultural history.
Simple because, "in Japan, the reborn Amida Buddha, the "Buddha of
Immeasurable Life," wore a LEFT-handed swastika on his breast"; and,
"the Oriental interpretation [of the swastika] has been that of a "Sun
Wheel" with the RIGHT-handed version being for "life" or the Sun, and
the LEFT-handed version being for "death" or the Moon." - W.J.
Bethancourt III.**
**Reference: "The Swastika" by WJB, copyright 1990, 1997 website.
<http://www.locksley.com/6696/swastick.htm>
Therefore, since the swastika displayed on that Daimyo war flag is the
RIGHT-handed version, which points in a counter-clockwise direction/
rotation, that is actually called a "sauvastika", and it "sho'nuff"
represents Amida Buddhism, aka. the (Jap.) Nembutsu religion.

First of all, It is very highly UNlikely that, re. the new subject/

"Oh, Lawdy have mercy" - you "actually" got her name all f*cked Up, too!

FYI - first of all, re. the new subject/ title - her correct name/ title
was the Priestess "Nissho," better known as "Kyodai-in" - the
great-grand daughter of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, which can be printed as
"Kyodai'in", too.
Secondly, at the time that she actually "donated the money to build the
Miedo" temple in 1632, she was NOT & could NOT possibly have been
"married to the Daimyo Hachisuka Yoshishige" (b.1586-d.1620) then;
because, he was already d-e-a-d, FOOL! - sez "Mr. T." ROTFL.
So, IF she ever was in fact actually married to him, then she really
would have been a widow, NOT his wife, at that time, "dc"!

Well damn Reggie, you weren't suppose to answer and try and correct this. I
wanted CHAS to correct this. But then I suspected you'd get in there first
and that Chas wouldn't get a chance to correct this.
She was in fact married to Hachisuka Yoshishige but he probably died during
the continuing campaigns against the Christian Daimyos, and the Buddhist
Daimyos who were sympathetic to them and still in the extended Hideyoshi
gang.. Many family relations did turn on each other though and at the last
minute they changed sides. Now I have a reference that suggests that after
Ieyasu kicked the bucket, some of his previously supporting Daimyo's DID in
fact change sides AND in fact Hachisuka Yoshishige was suspected of
"treachery"
Now In Nippon they were all inbred anyway, so family relations was pretty
fuzzy.

Well I must admit that my Typing errors are unconsciously planned. In the
deeper recesses of my mind, I carefully calculate which words I should
misspell---and this must send signals to my fingers, in fact if there isn''t
enough contradictions in Japanese history to be interesting, I go back and
unconsciously, insert all those typos.
This is because as a 12 year old boy I was scarred for life when I was
kicked out of Typing class. The teacher was lecturing and I was spaced out
and some little demon, made me push the button to make the carriage return
of the typewriter sitting in front of me go brrrrrrrr.....zing.....DING!
And these two girls sitting in the next row, these 13 year old Hotties.
laughed out loud...so the teacher was enraged and made me leave class and go
home. I rode my bike home in tears and never did return to that typing
class. So I had to learn typing all ass backwards. But this was all part of
the grand old DNA scheme to do like all us 1/4 genetic Native Americans do
to commit errors on purpose---so that we can always have the
imperfections---without which we do not exist.
dc
Re. the new subject/ title - it's self explanatory!
Because, the reasons are that, a) there is NO real portrait of the
Priestess "Nissho," better known as "Kyodai-in", or anyone else hanging
anywhere on display inside the Miedo temple, b) neither her deceased,
(alleged) husband or her (alleged) cousin - the Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu
were ever "Nichiren Komon" sect/ school Buddhists themselves, so they
could & would NEVER have made her pose for any kind of a "crane
portrait" for the Miedo; so, c) it really must be a PERVERTed phantasy
of his, that arrogant & ignorant, LYING-ASS, very low life conditioned
DUMB-ASS, anonymous COWARDly "Chas."/ Charles-etta the PERVERT's

Daimyo Hachisuka Yoshishige died in either 1615 (Samurai registry) or
1620 (various histories).
In either case that was fully 10 or 15 years before the widow formed a
relationship with Nissei the 17th, which was in the 1630s.
By the time that all of the worst happened to the Nichiren Sects and
the Christian scapegoats (1640s), all of Japan was thoroughly
subjugated under the third Tokugawa Shogun, Iemitsu, and nobody was
fighting the Tokugawa.
Witness the firing of all the Samurai (lack of warfare) and the
formation of bands of Ronin who beset the outlying villages as in the
thoroughly inaccurate history of "7 Samurai", which showed the Samurai
as heroes (what a laugh, they were the outlaws in all of these cases).
The townspeople who banded together to fight the unemployed Samurai
were the initial beginnings of the Yakuza, by the way.

Nembutsu is scary stuff, ever wonder why the Daishonin mentions it in
the gosho Encouragement to a Sick Person...because without meaning to
sound superstitious it is my observation of the diseased that leads me
to believe that serious illness can be the effect of inferior beliefs,
read: religions.
If I can't remember the details Stone Angel it is bekus I is too busy
savin lives at work while u on de otha han is relaxin and shuckin and
jivin on ARBN a national haven for the diseased minds of false shallow
ideologies.
However since u is an ex-cop Baby Stone I will forgive and forget--the
latter being real easy for me because life is never dull--and because
one of yours let me go as a professional courtesy for not stopping
fast enough for an ambulance on my way home from the temple
recently--simply because I am an infirmiere ( sans accent n'est-ce pas
cheri)
As for xstasie--not for me, I have to be sober to start iv's --do do
do de do--need to chant --you need to chant.

Good day, everyone! Re. an anonymous poster's posting on 7/24/03,

I changed the subject/ title to: Re: Answer: Tell him the Crane is
"Chas." the PERVERT's portrait!*
Re. the new subject/ title - it's self explanatory!
Because, the reasons are that:
In a quote from: (http://hometown.aol.com/charlestmf/index.htm)
With the kômon exposed.

Question C#1: How do you make smart priests nervous? (Nichiren Shoshu
priests)
Answer C#1: Mention to him that the crane is "Kyodai-in's Portrait"
If they know, they will react in a manner that is unmistakeable. And
many old Hokkeko will, too. It shows that they are corrupt, since if
they knew and didn't divorce themselves from bowing to "Kyodai-in's
Portrait", would they be uncorrupted by that? Could they be? Now,
everyone will know.
-Chas.

From "Reply to Kyo'o", Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, p. 412:
"Since I heard from you about Kyo'o, I have been praying to the gods of
the sun and moon for her every moment of the day. Always cherish the
Gohonzon that I gave you some time ago for her protection. The Gohonzon
was never known, let alone inscribed, by anyone in the Former or Middle
Day of the Law. The lion king is said to advance three steps, then
gather himself to spring, unleashing the same power whether he traps a
tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal. In inscribing this Gohonzon for her
protection, Nichiren was like the lion king. This is what the sutra
means by "the power [of the Buddhas] that has the lion's ferocity.
Believe in this mandala with all your heart.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can
therefore be an obstacle?"
