Myochikai - Myochikai

Japanese: 妙智会 - みょうちかい
Myochikai - Myochikai
A Nichiren-based lay Buddhist sect with its headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo. It was founded by Miyamoto Mitsu (1900-84). Miyamoto belonged to the Reiyukai, which was led by Kubo Kakutaro and Kotani Yoshimi, but left the sect in 1950 to found Myochikai. It is based on the three Lotus Sutras, the Lotus Sutra, the Muryogikyo, and the Kannon Sutra, and inherits the doctrines and rituals of its parent organization, the Reiyukai. In particular, its doctrine of the practice of ancestor memorial services based on the Lotus Sutra is a distinctive feature of Reiyukai-based sects, which are shared with other sects that separated from Reiyukai, such as the Myodokai of Sahara Chujiro, the Butsusho Gonenkai of Sekiguchi Yoshikazu, the Hoshikai of Saito Toyokichi, the Seigikai of Yamaguchi Masae, and the Daiekai of Ishikura Yasusuke.

東京都渋谷区に本部をおく日蓮系の在家仏教教団。開祖は宮本ミツ(1900‐84)。宮本は久保角太郎,小谷喜美の主宰していた霊友会に属していたが,1950年脱会して妙智会を創立した。《法華経》《無量義経》《観普賢経》の法華三部経をよりどころとし,母体であった霊友会の教義や儀式を継承する。とりわけ法華経による先祖供養の実践を教義としていることは,霊友会から独立して別派を立てた佐原忠次郎の妙道会,関口嘉一の仏所護念会,斎藤豊吉の法師会,山口まさえの正義会,石倉保助の大慧会等の諸教団とも共通する,霊友会系統の教団の特色である。
