AbstractThis article concerns conflicts that arise within families associated with Rissho Koseikai, a Japanese New Religion, as a result of the sect’s emphasis on “following the bodhisattva way. ” It examines the historical background on this issue in the lives of Sdkyamuni and Nichiren, and particularly in the life oj Niwano Nikkyd, one of the founders of Rissho Koseikai and (until recently) its president. The problem is then discussed in terms of the aaily lives oj lay believers by examining personal narratives (taiken). Finally, the issues of family conflict are discussed with reference to the life of Naganuma Myoko, Niwano’s co-founder of Rissho Koseikai, and specifically with regard to the issue of divorce.
