| Current Entry | 自宗 [じしゅう] /(?) ???/RH/ |
| Headword 1 | 自宗 |
| Reading 1 | じしゅう |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | one's own position |
| English 2 | one's own thesis |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | This picks up some 4k Google hits. The translation fits, but I have not found good references. It appears in Roy Miller's reader, but he does not deal with it.
See the entries below:- 自宗 【じしゅう】 one's own position, thesis; BU 違自宗 【いじしゅう】 to contradict one's own thesis; BU This is confirmed by context and general explanations and some other "non-reference" sources. If the "RH" were to be promoted that would be good. If you did not want to promote the RH, then perhaps it should be deleted because it give the impression that the meaning is not defined, whereas it is covered in the "BU" section. Pending your comments on my previous comment on an "RH", I hope that this submission does not breach the same rules. |

| Editorial Comment | Re: "I have not found good references" can I suggest (once again) you use the Goo site with its 大辞林 第二版. There you'll see 自宗 explained as: "自分が属する宗派". GG5 echoes that with "the religious sect one belongs to; one's religious sect." Using Chuck Muller's Buddhism dictionary as a primary reference is risky as his entries are very context-specific. |
| Current Entry | 戒壇院 [かいだんいん] /(?) ???/RH/ |
| Headword 1 | 戒壇院 |
| Reading 1 | かいだんいん |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | Buddhist ordination platform institution |
| English 2 | building housing the Buddhist ordination platform |
| Reference | See below. |
| Comment | This picks up some 90k Google hits. The first two kanji are clear, but the complete headword is usually neglected [even by Roy Miller!] in explanations. However, this "RH" comes up in text and promotion would be useful for understanding and confirmation of meaning and reading.

| Editorial Comment | Did you look at the WWW pages returned by Google? The 戒壇院 is a famous Rinzai temple in Kyuushuu. See http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%88%92%E5%A3%87%E9%99%A2. |

| Comment | Just added in "Part-of-speech."
It was my intention to suggest promotion of two "RHs" as follows:- 示寂 【じしゃく】 (?) ???; RH 示寂 【じじゃく】 (?) ???; RH [as you can see, the RH is entered twice] Perhaps you would choose to delete the "RHs" rather than promote because of the "BU." I shall await your guidance before I submit any more of these. |

Again, please look at 大辞林 and take those "BU" glosses with many grains
of salt. 大辞林 has "菩薩や高僧が死ぬこと。入寂。" In a highly Buddhist
context, the death of a priest probably does "manifest extinction" but to
ordinary English speakers it doesn't really work.
I've made this: "(n) {Buddh} death of a high-ranking priest". |
