Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Classicjupiter2

In order to remain listed at Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute, not different disputes. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: {insert UTC timestamp with }), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is:, 29 July 2024 (UTC).

 * (Classicjupiter2 | talk page | contributions)

Statement of the dispute
1. Abuse of reverts. The 3RR specifically states that 3 reverts are a maximum and not a privilege. 2. Open declaration of denying any form of consensus. The user has repeatedly said he will not seek consensus. 3. Lying on the talk page about the source of the dispute. User claims that documentation that surrealists call themselves revolutionary is, ipso facto proof that his means of stating this is correct. 4. Incivility and personal attacks over the course of months. 5. False accusations of violating the 3RR.

Description
The history of surrealism pages and Surrealism itself is very troubled, it has been the repository for self-promotion and POV pushing by individuals who take themselves to be the inheritors, and arbiters, of the Surrealist tradition. Because of the value of the term "surrealism" in the marketplace, there is incentive to do this.

User:Classicjupiter2 originally editted as an IP address, since creating an account his incivility and POV pushing have only continued. He openly runs revert wars, threatens to revert, and has made a false accusation of my violating the "three revert rule". The personal attacks against me have gone on for months on the talk page.

Attempts to deal with this problem run back months, the page was protected for a time, the user agreed, and then violated, good faith on the page. This recurrance indicates that further attempts to deal with the problem without invoking formal mechanisms will be ineffective at best.

Evidence of disputed behavior
(provide diffs and links)
 * False accusation of reverts.
 * False revert report.
 * Open declaration of a revert war without any pretense of seeking consensus.
 * Example of non-responsive and argumentative attacks.
 * personal attack.
 * Continued revert warring.

In addition people can look at IP edits from the 24.168 block to see how this user simply cannot engage in meaningful and good faith editting going back to February of this year.
 * Using revert war for blackmail to stop revert war.
 * Continued demands for article ownership.

Barry E. DuVal

Barry Eugene DuVal (born August 7, 1959) is an American politician from Virginia. He was first elected to the City Council of Newport News, Virginia in 1988, and in 1990 was elected mayor, serving in that role until 1996. He has also served as the President and CEO of the Hampton Roads Partnership, a group that brings together the cities and counties of the Hampton Roads area with local universities and businesses in order to promote the region's economic interests. His service in this field led then-Governor Jim Gilmore to appoint DuVal to be his Secretary of Commerce and Trade, a position he held from 1998 until 2001. After long being considered a Republican frontrunner to succeed Herbert H. Bateman, DuVal surprised many in 2000 when he decided to drop out of the race for Congress in Virginia's 1st congressional district. Jo Ann Davis went on to win the seat. In April 2010, DuVal was named President & CEO of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce.

A Drug Problem That Never Existed

A Drug Problem That Never Existed is the second studio album by American rock band Mondo Generator. It takes its name from a line in The Frogs' "I've Got Drugs (Out of the Mist)", from their album It's Only Right and Natural. Much of the material was inspired by mixed emotions brought about by the divorce of singer Nick Oliveri and also his substance abuses and the death of his father.

The tracks "Jr. High Love" and "Day I Die" were previously recorded by Oliveri and others at The Desert Sessions, "Jr. High Love" for Volumes 3 & 4 and "Day I Die" for Volumes 5 & 6 under the name "I'm Dead". "Girl's Like Christ" is a reworking of a Dwarves song "There She Goes Again" written by Blag Dahlia and Nick Oliveri during his time with the band.

Talk:Female roles in the military

This article is in need of some serious review and rewrite. A lot of the historical stuff is way off and this may even need to be completely rewritten. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.3.94.101 (talk • contribs).
 * Agree. Should be rewritten as a list like this has no notability without an article! The lists should be removed, and the most notable names should be included in an article, as references and examples of female soldiers.

Vânători-Neamț Natural Park

The Vânători-Neamț Natural Park (Parcul Natural Vânători-Neamț) is situated in north-east Romania, in Neamț County, on the border with Suceava County. It lies on the administrative territories of the communes Agapia, Bălțătești, Brusturi, Crăcăoani, Vânători-Neamț, Răucești, Boroaia (Suceava), and the town of Târgu Neamț.

The park is situated in the Eastern Carpathian Foothills, at the foot of the Stânișoara Mountains, and is crossed by the rivers Cracău and Ozana.

Vânători Park is one of the few places where the European bison (Bison bonasus) can be seen. There are 17 such zimbrii in a protected 180 ha area in Vânători-Neamț commune. The aurochs head ("cap de bour" in Romanian) is the heraldic symbol of the historical province of Moldavia, although the aurochs (now extinct) was a separate species from the European bison.

Social activist
I've added the "prod" template to the article Social activist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and "Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day"). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Social activist. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Image copyrights
I have tagged many of your images as missing source of copyright information. All images on wikipedia have to provide details of who's photo it is and what license it is released under. If you took any of the photos please provide those details and let me know so that the tags can be removed, otherwise if the images are sourced from another website they are generally not going to be usable on wikipedia. --Martyman- (talk) 23:52, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, firstly the easy list of your images is available here. The images description on wikipedia images should optimally look something like:

Photo taken by User:Cristibur in 2001 and released under the GFDL
 * That example is if you want to use the GFDL lciense which essentially places restrictions on somone else using the image and claiming they made it and that they own the copyright.I am not sure of the finer legal points of public domain but I belive in the US it is technically wrong to claim you are releasing into the public domain, rather it is better to say copyrighted but all rights waved with a summary like:

Photo taken by User:Cristibur in 2001. All rights waved
 * The image description page should also contain a copyright template (which are added automatically at upload if you select an option from teh drop down list). The template for the GFDL is added by typing or copyrighted no rights reserved is  or placed int he public domain is  (though I am not sure that one technically right). Let me know if you have any further questions. When you have updated the gas let me know and I can remove the copyright wanring templates. --Martyman- (talk) 01:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

Buna,

A inceput un vot pentru stergerea "Wikipediei Moldovenesti", o creatie a unui American, cu origini suspecte in Basarabia si care nu vorbeste limba wikipediei la care pretinde a fi sysop. Il cheama Node ue si pentru a crea impresia ca lumea doreste aceasta wikipedie, a apelat la toti utilizatorii rusi care au venit sa voteze de partea lui desi nu cunosc bine subiectul si li s-a spus ca voteaza pentru supravietuirea alfabetului chirilic. Asa a ajuns ca votul sa fie 31 pentru stergerea Mo wiki, si 42 impotriva stergerii - deci in alte cuvinte pentru pastrarea wikipediei in limba "moldoveneasca". Vino si voteaza aici, ca sa sergem acesta creatura cu miros bolshevic, care insulta toti romanii de pe ambele maluri ale Prutului. Node ue le-a spus rusilor sa traduca mesajul lui in limba rusa si sa-l transmita mai departe. Trimite si tu mesajul acesta la toti utilizatorii romani-unionisti sau romani-moldoveni unionisti pe care-i cunosti pe en.wiki sau ro.wiki. Dapiks 23:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

TAROM flight
Nu înţeleg de ce destinaţia trebuie listată sub Bucureşti. Articolul pare eronat dacă destinaţia este listată doar în secţiunea Bucureşti şi nu şi sub Cluj-Napoca, pentru că de exemplu eu când am făcut prima dată modificarea nici nu am urmărit secţiunea Bucureşti, ci am glisat pagina direct la Cluj-Napoca (unde am observat că lipseşte Bucureştiul ca destinaţie). Nu există un motiv real pentru a nu lista Bucureştiul în acea secţiune, decât lipsa punctului de vedere neutru (raţiunea alfabetică pică, de ce nu am creat atunci o secţiune Baia Mare înainte în care să listăm Bucureştiul? Gândeşte-te cum ar arăta atunci articolul...). Nu am găsit pe pagina respectivă (n.r.- WikiProject Airlines) vreo regulă care să susţină ce zici tu, şi şi dacă ar exista vreuna s-ar aplica în articolele precum Iberia destinations care nu listează destinaţiile după aeroport. --Danutz

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Romavia2.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Romavia1.JPG. The copy called Image:Romavia1.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Tarom70s.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Tarom70s.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link].

More bonus tracks were available for download and on the Universal Music Group Remastered CD edition of 2013. The tracks "Road of Pain" and "Track Ten" recorded in the same sessions, remain unreleased.

 * Monumento a la Libertad, Riga, Letonia, 2012-08-07, DD 18.JPG

General state of the article
Why is it so bad? Just compare it to the articles dedicated to Vilnius or Tallinn, or any other EU capital really, it's just so bad, and it doesn't seem like anyone is working on it. Stavanger, a small city that's not even a capital and is nowhere near as historically notable has a much better article written about it. 64.43.50.56 (talk) 14:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

 * If you want to improve it, then go ahead, WP:BEBOLD and improve it, I guess. Also, sidenote: I think Vilnius is in worse condition than this article- Vilnius has TONS of grammar issues and desperately needs c/e (currently working on copy editing it right now). And don't even get me started on Klaipeda- that one is probably the worst vital article I ever saw. -- Shadow  of the  Starlit Sky  03:56, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Russian spelling
SummerKrut added the Russian spelling in this edit with the edit summary restored Russian name that was removed for no reason. There has been a back and forth with Russian/Ukrainian edit summaries that included personal attacks. "Restored" implies that it was recently removed, but I couldn't find an edit that removed it. At least in the last few months, it was never there. I'd appreciate @SummerKrut showing the edit that removed it as otherwise the edit summary is misleading. AncientWalrus (talk) 23:27, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

 * special:diff/1096047509 Summer talk 00:42, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * That was in July 2022. Your edit summary is misleading, as there was a reason given Russian isn't an official language of Latvia. AncientWalrus (talk) 00:48, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) A crime committed 10 years ago is no different from one committed now.
 * 2) Chernivtsi, Gdansk, Strasbourg — all have names in unofficial languages because in all of them such languages either had a great role in their history or are widely spoken. Russians constitute more than a third of Riga's population, so I see no reason not to include a Russian name. Summer talk 13:29, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining your reasons. Having consulted WP:NCPLACE including Russian appears to be justified as there are indeed many Russians living in Riga. Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or that is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted.. It would be very helpful if you included relevant policy and reasoning in the future when you (re)add the Russian name to other cities. AncientWalrus (talk) 17:13, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Shinnyo-en

Shinnyo-en (真如苑) is a Japanese Buddhist new religious movement in the tradition of the Daigo branch of Shingon Buddhism. It was founded in 1936 by Shinjō Itō (真乗伊藤), and his wife Tomoji (友司) in a suburb of metropolitan Tokyo, the city of Tachikawa, where its headquarters is still located.

In 2011, Shinnyo-en was reported to have 860,000 members, and temples and training centers in several countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The temples are characterised by the Nirvana image, a statue of the reclining Buddha.

Central to Shinnyo-en is the belief, expressed in the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, that all beings possess Buddha-nature, a natural, unfettered purity that can respond creatively and compassionately to any situation in life. the head of Shinnyo-en was Shinsō Itō (born 1942, also known as 'Keishu'), who holds the rank of Daisōjō, the highest rank in traditional Shingon Buddhism.

History
Shinnyo-en was established in 1936 by Shinjō Itō and his wife Tomoji in the Tokyo suburb of Tachikawa. In December 1935, Shinjō Itō and Tomoji Itō had enshrined an image of Acala believed to have been sculpted by the renowned Buddhist sculptor Unkei and they began a 30-day period of winter austerities in early 1936. Tomoji cultivated her spiritual faculty (霊能) on February 4, inheriting it from her aunt.

In May 1936, Shinjō Itō was ordained by Daisōjō and Chief Abbot Egen Saeki at Sanbō-in, a temple of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism. The Chief Abbot conferred to him the monastic name of Shinjō, meaning "True Vehicle", and the title of Kongō-in, which means "Vajra", in December 1938. Accordingly, he changed his name from Fumiaki Itō to Shinjō Itō in April 1942.

The community was first named Risshō-kaku, then the Tachikawa Fellowship of Achala (Tachikawa Fudoson Kyokai, 1938–1948). Formally registered in 1948 under the Religious Corporations Ordinance (Japanese:, enacted in 1945) the name changed to Sangha of Truth (Makoto-Kyodan) with Shinchō-ji as its Head Temple.

In spring of 1949, a young man who worked in the temple office, filed formal charges against Shinjō in 1950. His primary claim was that he had been beaten during one of the sesshin trainings. Shuten Oishi, director of the Federation of New Religious Organisations of Japan, testified that sesshin training does not involve physical abuse. Shinjō was given a sentence of eight months in prison, suspended for three years.

The sangha was permitted to continue, but under a different name. It was reorganized and renamed Shinnyo-en on June 21, 1951, and Tomoji Itō became its administrative head. After the revision of the Japanese Religious Corporation Act in April 1951, Shinnyo-en filed an application in the following year and received approval from the Minister of Education on May 16, 1953.

The first image of the reclining Nirvana Buddha, sculpted by Shinjō Itō, was consecrated on November 3, 1957.

Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, a Thai Buddhist temple, presented Shinnyo-en with śarīra (sacred relics of Lord Buddha) on July 30, 1966.

The first Shinnyo-en Sanctuary outside Japan was inaugurated on March 2, 1971 in Mililani, Hawaii, followed by the dedication of temples in Honolulu (1973), San Francisco (1982), Taiwan (1985), France (1985), Los Angeles (1990), Italy (1990), Belgium (1991), Hong Kong (1992), U.K. (1994), Germany (1994), Singapore (1994), and Australia (1999).

Teachings
The principal sutras on which the Shinnyo teachings are based are the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, the Lotus Sutra and the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra. According to Shinnyo-en, the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sutra teaches four key points:
 * 1) Buddhahood is always present
 * 2) All beings possess a Buddha-nature
 * 3) There is hope for everyone to attain nirvana
 * 4) Nirvana is of the present moment and characterized by permanence-bliss-self-purity.

Junna Nakata, the 103rd Head Priest of Daigoji Monastery of the Shingon School, describes the teaching as follows: "If we view the Buddhist tradition as a vertical line, and the world we live in as a horizontal line, Shinjō Itō placed the teachings of Nirvana to work as a link between the two, and proved the validity of the Nirvana teachings."

Schrimpf commented on the introduction of the Mahaparinirvana sutra to Shinnyo-en members in 1956, "By choosing a text that is rather irrelevant in esoteric Buddhism, Shinjō Itō left the doctrinal path of Shingon, thus emphasizing the uniqueness of his Buddhist teachings and training. This direction was further underlined by the replacement of Fudō Myōō as the main object of veneration by Kuon Jōjū Shakyamuni Nyorai, the dying Buddha who taught his last sermon (...)."

The teachings also integrate elements of traditional Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, cultural influences characteristic to Japanese Buddhism, as well as practices and rituals initiated by Shinjo Ito, the founder of Shinnyo-en.

As all religious organizations founded since the middle of the 19th century Shinnyo-en is classified by Japanese scholars as a new religious movement.

Organizational structure
According to Schrimpf, "the community is divided into various units that form a hierarchical pyramid." The basic organizational unit of the Shinnyo-en sangha is said to be the "lineage" (Japanese: ), which consists of a group of members mentored by a "lineage parent" (Japanese: ). Practitioners usually gather at the temple and training centre for prayer, meditation and training, and, if they so wish, also at home meetings. The sangha as a whole encourages and participates in volunteer activities in the spirit of Buddhist practice.

The leadership in Shinnyo-en follows the Buddhist tradition of Dharma succession from master to disciple:

"In Daigo-ji there are two Dharma streams (lineages)—that of lay Buddhism (Ein) and that of monastic Buddhism (Diamond and Womb Worlds). Shinjō Itō succeeded to both from the 96th Dharma-successor and Chief Abbot of Daigo-ji, Egen Saeki. [...] I believe Kyoshu-sama had the intention of merging the two Dharma-streams from the beginning. By doing so, he gave rise to a new Dharma-stream. For Daigoji as well as for the whole of the religious world, the Shinnyo Dharma-stream, which unites the Buddhist tradition and society, is the Dharma-stream in its ideal form."

In 1982 Shinsō Itō (born 1942 as Masako Itō), the third daughter of Shinjō and Tomoji, completed her Buddhist training. Shinjō announced her to become his successor in 1983 and gave her the priestly name 'Shinsō'. After Shinjō's passing on July 19, 1989 Shinsō Itō becomes the head of Shinnyo-en. In 1992, Shinsō Itō was conferred Daisōjo, the highest priestly rank in traditional Shingon Buddhism, by the Daigo-ji Shingon Buddhist monastery. She also received an honorary doctorate from Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University in Thailand in 2002 for her long-standing efforts to foster relations with Theravada Buddhism.

In Shinnyo-en's Dharma School (Japanese: ) members study Buddhist doctrine and learn ritualistic aspects. After graduating as a Dharma Teacher they can further qualify for undergoing Buddhist ordination (Japanese: ) and receiving traditional monastic ranks.

Social action
Shinnyo-en believes an individual's action can contribute to creating a harmonious society. Working towards this goal, the organization engages in interfaith dialogue, environmental activities, and disaster relief. Shinnyo-en also supports organizations such as Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), the Red Cross Society, and the World Wildlife Fund.

In an interview conducted by the Tricycle magazine, Shinso Ito stated: "People who are interested in traditional Buddhist training are always welcome, but volunteer activities provide an additional avenue for Shinnyo-en to contribute to the wider secular community. (Shinso Ito)"

Shinnyo practice
Shinnyo-en practitioners are encouraged to practice sesshin training and undertake the Three Practices (三つの歩み), which are a distillation of the Pāramitā taught by Shakyamuni Buddha.

Three Practices
The Three Practices (三つの歩み) are: Concretely, this means abiding by the principles of the Teachings, participating in volunteer activities, and donating small sums of money.
 * 1) Joyful donations (歓喜)
 * 2) Sharing the Teachings (お救け)
 * 3) Giving time and service (ご奉仕).

Sesshin
Sesshin (the word is composed of the two Chinese characters, "touch" and "heart") is the central element of spiritual practice for Shinnyo practitioners. This is not to be confused with the sesshin in Zen Buddhism. Whereas in Zen Buddhism, sesshin refers to a period of intensive meditation, with many hours of meditation each day, sesshin in Shinnyo-en has an entirely different meaning.

A sesshin involves receiving guidance from a 'Spiritual guide' (霊能者), a person who has been specially trained and whose spiritual faculty (霊能) is recognized by the Shinnyo-en organization. This kind of guidance lasts for about three minutes per person, and is, in most cases, given only at a Shinnyo-en temple, aimed to help members to understand themselves in light of Buddhist concepts.

Shinnyo-en refers to the spiritual world from which the guiding messages emanate as the shinnyo reikai (真如霊界). This is not merely the dwelling place of the spirits of the dead, it also encompasses and is equated with the Buddha realm (仏界). The spiritual guides' contact with this world is not direct, but aided by the intercession of two 'children' (両童子) and various dharma protectors, who are viewed as being one with forces of the heavens and earth. The Two Dōjis are none other than the first and second sons of Ito Shinjo, posthumously named, respectively, Kyodoin (教導院, died aged one year old) and Shindoin (真導院, died aged fifteen). Guidance from the Buddha realm is passed to the spiritual guides and subsequently to the practitioners.

Schrimpf describes the practice of sesshin as follows: "In a regular meditation, up to fifty or sixty followers will gather in a room, sit in a circle and meditate. They are faced by five to ten reinosha who are also in meditation. After a while, the media experience some kind of intuitive cognition. It is interpreted as something indicated (shimesareta) to them from the spirit world. They transform this cognition into words - the so-called spiritual words (reigen) - and transmit them to the person they are directed at. Often, these are rather abstract phrases, but usually the listener can relate them to a certain problem or situation he is coping with."

Dharma School
Practitioners have the opportunity to further their practice by studying at Shinnyo-en's dharma school. After three years of classes and fulfilling various requirements, including passing a written test and assessment of everyday practice, they are granted priestly ranks (僧階 sokai) and become dharma teachers.

Fire and Water Ceremonies
According to the Shinnyo-en website they practice water and fire ceremonies. "While most traditional Buddhist fire rituals focus on personal purification and awakening, the Shinnyo-en ceremony is dedicated to awakening people to their innate compassionate and altruistic nature, transcending all boundaries of age, gender, nationality, ethnicity, and religious tradition, and directing the positive energy of the ceremony outward with the hope that all people can live in a world of hope and harmony."

Other practices
Through mindfulness and seated meditation, practitioners reflect on themselves and resolve to practice harmony, gratitude, kindness, and acceptance. The school teaches that one realizes his or her true potential by acting with compassion and concern for others. Therefore, practitioners are encouraged to cultivate mindfulness and self-reflection, and to apply in daily life the insights gained in seated meditation.

Shinnyo-en practitioners in pursuing the Path to Nirvana vow to abide by the Five Precepts (Pali: pañca-sīlāni) and follow the Noble Eightfold Path, although no reference can be found of Shinnyo-en teaching Right Mindfulness, nor Right Concentration, these being the last two steps on the Eightfold Path and those which contain traditional Buddhist meditation practice.

By learning to identify with others (or "place oneself in the shoes of another"), practitioners aim to cultivate the virtues of a bodhisattva.

Missionary activities
In Shinnyo-en a school for the training of missionaries has been developed, and lectures are given on the Shinnyo-en doctrine, history, and missionary methods. Students take three years to complete the prescribed course of study. The system of missionary ranks is called sokai or "stages in Buddhist discipleship."

Shinnyo Buddhist ceremonies
Traditional ceremonies, derived from Shingon Buddhism—many of which can be traced back to ancient Vedic and Hindu ceremonies—are an important aspect of Shinnyo Buddhist practice. Rituals are used as means to purify the mind, awaken compassion, or to express gratitude for the chance to develop oneself and practice the Buddhist teachings.

Prayers for ancestors and departed souls, such as the Lantern Floating ceremony, and O-bon (Sanskrit: Ullambana), are believed to also help cultivate kindness and compassion within practitioners.

With the wish of creating cultural harmony and understanding, Her Holiness Shinso Ito, Head Priest of Shinnyo-en, officiated the inaugural Lantern Floating Hawaii ceremony on Memorial Day, 1999.

Traditional fire ceremonies such as homa are performed to help practitioners overcome obstacles that hinder their spiritual progress and liberation.

User:PedanticallySpeaking/Wikipedia:Quote of the day

Scope
This project is to provide a quotation of the day for the main page, akin to Today's featured article.

What's a good quotation?
A quotation for this page should be
 * Succinct: Quotations should be thirty words or less.  Sixty words is going to be too long in most cases.  They are not completely out of bounds, but it will be rare one this long will qualify.
 * Suitable for polite company:  Quotations should be suitable for all audiences. The main page is our welcome mat to the world and we should not use foul language.  The cliche of never discussing politics or religion at the dinner table should be kept in mind.  While gentle jabs at politicians and religion are in order, this is not a soapbox.
 * Amusing, clever, wry, or aphoristic: Quotations should be something to think about or something you'd want to repeat to a friend.  Words of wisdom, proverbs, definitions, satirical observations are all welcome.
 * Not be overly familiar: Quotations from all realms are in order, but we should use ones which are in no danger of becoming cliched.  "In the beginning", "All the world's a stage", and "I made him an offer he couldn't refuse" are not bad quotations, it's just they are very familiar.

Form
Suggestions should be made with these three elements, described more fully below.
 * The QUOTATION
 * The SOURCE
 * The CITATION

The Quotation
The quotation itself should be presented without external quotation marks or any editorial comment.

The Source
This refers to who the quotation will be attributed to. For example, if you submitted "It is a truth universally established . . . ", the source would be Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (1813). The date of the work's original publication, if known, should be listed. Please wikify references to authors and books that have articles in Wikipedia.

The Cathedral of Our Immaculate Lady (Latin: Cathedralis Templum de Nostra Domina Immaculata, French: Cathédrale de Notre-Dame-Immaculée), formerly called the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas (demolished in 1874), or informally the Cathedral of Monaco (French: Cathédrale de Monaco), is the  Catholic cathedral of the Archdiocese of Monaco in Monaco-Ville, Monaco, where many of the Grimaldi Royal members are buried, including former  Grace, Princess of Monaco and Rainier III.

The cathedral is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the venerated title of the Immaculate Conception. It was built from 1875 to 1903 and consecrated on 11 June 1911. It is on the site of the first parish church in Monaco, built in 1252 and dedicated to its patron Saint Nicholas. Notable within the shrine are the retable (circa 1500) to the right of the transept, the High Altar and the Episcopal throne constructed in white Carrara marble.

Pontifical services take place on the major religious festivals, such as the Feast of Sainte Dévote (27 January) and the National Day of Monaco (19 November). On feast days and during religious music concerts, one can hear the four-manual organ, inaugurated in 1976.

From September through June, singers of the Cathedral Choir School perform during Catholic Mass every Sunday at 10:00 A.M. Services is also annually celebrated on Saint Nicholas Day on 6 December, when primary children gather for a remembrance of the life of Saint Nicholas.
