Launch of Chinese-Language Websites of Nichiren's Writings
Two Chinese-language websites featuring the writings of Nichiren were launched on April 28 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the publication in Japanese of his complete writings (Nichiren Daishonin gosho zenshu) on April 28, 1952.
The sites, in Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions, contain over 400 letters written by Nichiren to his followers, as well as treatises addressed to leading figures in the Kamakura shogunate.
Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions are available at cht.sgilibrary.org and chs.sgilibrary.org respectively. An English-language translation is already online at www.sgilibrary.org/writings.php. In addition, Chinese-language versions of the Lotus Sutra and the Soka Gakkai's Dictionary of Buddhist Philosophy (containing 17,000 entries) have also been made available online.
