New Year Linkies

I've bookmarked lots of random stuff over the past couple of weeks.

Do you love Phoebe Snow's music? I do. From a recent write up:

Phoebe Snow spent last New Year's Eve chanting. Snow, the recording artist and Teaneck native best-known for 1975's "Poetry Man," is Buddhist (more on that later). To usher out 2008, she chanted for 10 hours at her temple.

This one is for Mr. Oaks. A rundown of wacky fringe religions, including Happy Science, whose founder has predicted the reincarnation of Nichiren.

More after the jump...

Something was lost in translating this news blurb about Soka. Party time?

A 19th Century depiction of a thief and Nichiren praying, here.

Did you know there's a traditional Nichiren Radish Festival? It's news to me.

Young karate champ and SGI member credits "striving in faith." Congrats, kiddo.

On the ugly side of Soka, a blogger blames the victim, castigating the priests of NST for the recent fire at Myosenji in D.C. Double negatives add up to nothing positive:

...Rev. Murata can only claim that he is not negligent if he accepts that he was not capable of exercising the level of caution expected from a reasonable person. Regardless, it is clear that his actions as the person-in-charge were careless placed all of his parishioners and as well as community firefighters at risk.

Over at Markp's forum I saw a link to this beautiful collection of photos, including an amazing Gohonzon. Check it out.

On buddhajones, I have been put in charge of links -- making sure they still work, adding new ones, etc. Markp, I tried to add your forum to the "feeds" list, but I kept getting an error message from SoapBlox. Anyway, I added your link to the "sites to see" list. I also deleted some links that went to pages where there has been no activity for a very long time. If you want a link added to Buddhajones, just post a comment or e-mail us.

Happy New Year! Happy New Decade!

RSS feed
I'm looking into this right now. The forum is supposed to have an RSS feed, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to activate it. I may need to get an app programed. I'll get back to you when I figure it out. In the mean time, can you rename ichinen sanzen forum to "The Nichiren Sangha"?

Juniper Question
Nice linkage, brooke. I have been seeing ads for Juniper Path, supposedly "Buddhist training for modern living." Sounds like one of SGI's taglines. Does anyone have more info about Juniper? I get a culty vibe off it, but maybe they are legitimate teachers.
