The Nichiren sect of Buddhism was formed in 13th Century Japan by Nichiren Daishonin and is an interpretation of the Lotus Sutra of Mahayana Buddhism.
Dr. Hawkins has calibrated Mahayana Buddhism and the Lotus Sutra. The question I'd ask is, how does he calibrate Nichiren Buddhism (or more specifically the SGI group which spun off the Nichiren group), their gongyo practice and the nam-myoho-renge-kyo chant?
Certainly there are many ways to raise one's LoC. What is the best way? Should we just calibrate each teacher, group, teaching ourselves? Good questions, them all.
