I wonder whether the reference for the allegation that he has written more than 500 books is valid. It is namely the website of his organization. Is that reliable enough?--Mycomp (talk) 00:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

That statement is sourced by a The Japan Times report. That seems reliable enough to me. --DAJF (talk) 04:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Added "reportedly" (as used in the newspaper article) because the Japan Times does not vouch for the correctness of the fact.--Mycomp (talk) 07:54, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

It's a fact that he's written or been credit with several bookshelves full. You can visit a Happy Science church to confirm this. Shii (tock) 21:24, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Luxgratia comment

This is my first, and hopefully my last comment of this kind in a discussion page, I am not a Sysop, least of all an administrator. So far my contributions to wikipedia have been humble, my editing skills minute, nevertheless I have not spared efforts to try and make my edits as accurate and coherent as possible with Wikipedia principles, as my record shows (only after my very first flopped and biased edition to any page, that of Hugo Chavez... I admit it LOL, for I have grown to respect wikipedia as a general tool). Now seriously, the principles of wikipedia, I understand, have old roots in western dialectic tradition. I think it is precisely to the bindings of this tradition that we submit ourselves here, in this very page.

Sharing the judgement of Mycomp, who I assume to be an administrator, I also have grave concerns about the extremely questionable neutrality of of this article, not to mention it hagiographic and misleading nature. I understand that my last major edition to it might not have been as skillful as it could have been, though I am learning to use the edit-tools. Nevertheless the deleted bulk of information which I had provided, was corroborated by newspaper articles, although at the time I did not understand well how they are inserted on a page. Luckily, on August 5 2009, DAFJ properly added these links I had referred to, he/she complemented my clumsy editing skills, my gratitude goes to DAFJ. In turn I have very often corrected the errors and mistakes committed by other editors while enhancing their original arguments. This is the beauty of wikipedia, it is a living pulsing encyclopedia. I now return to the main issue at hand. The pressing need to counterbalance the "hagiography" which Ryuho Okawa has been afforded in wikipedia, will not be solved by the recent deletion of my edits, on the contrary it has restored the article closer to its original hagiographical tone. This has been afforded by the questionable reversion executed by Sysop Shii on August 29. As a member of the wikipedia family and with all due respect to him, he should know that he is not above the other four Sysops or administrators who in fourteen previous reviews had not deleted, but only improve the links and style in the best of their habilities. In my own personal opinion there were some other flaws awaiting correction in this article which had been utterly overlooked.

I consider Sysop Shii to have all the right in the world to his own opinions, even an opinion such as stated in his own website, which reads: "...articles that are better than wikipedia...", linking to Shii's own personal articles. In one of these articles (on Human Nature: http://shii.org/knows/Human_nature ) Shii also has full right to authoritatively dictate, as he indulged, that "... Human nature runs as follows. I hereby declare this article better than Wikipedia's retarded mess of an article on the same subject...". I also think Shii has again the same right to his own opinion, even to the degree of cutting mr. Okawa some slack, as he just did, and allow Okawa to keep his personal wikipedia hagiography. Nevertheless, there might be a technical deadlock considering Wikipedia regulations. Hence, I would consider it more viable for Sysop Shii to indulge in such consideration towards okawa within the editorial excellence of his (Shii's) own personal page titled: "Everything Shii Knows, the only reliable source".

That human blood is red or that humans are all mortals, those are facts. To use the italian Dio cantore , and assert it as the name of the deity logged in my hidden consciousness or as Shii writes about Okawa's 500 books, that he (Okawa) truly "...has written or been credit(ed) with several bookshelves full...(because) (we) can visit a Happy Science church to confirm this...", those are not facts, but claims, they are twofold claims by both Shii and Happy Science. (I do agree with Okawa, though, that melodious italian terms are more befitting for those elusive deities in the crevices of our subconscious! )

Terms and concepts, in their own potentiality, are, nonetheless closely bound to the restrictions of their specific semantic spheres. In this respect, and considering the claim of a previous entry, I think it is important to clarify that Happy Science buildings are not churches, nor have they been claimed as such by Happy Science in any sense. Not even etymology allows for a comparison in neither of Greek roots: Kuriakon (Church) nor ekklēsia (ecclesiastical. Opposite to spanish or Italian, this greek root has no derivative noun in English, only adjectives). The only classification claimed by Happy Science regarding their buildings is that of the more generic term: temples. A very fact is that these temples are amply fitted with guided tortoises and caduceus, for Mr. Okawa is also the reincarnation of the greek god Hermes; among many other things, Hermes is the messenger of the Gods, and god of commerce, and last but not least, (citing wikipedia) also the god of the cunning of thieves and liars. In the path of her husband, neither wife Kyoko Okawa, falls short , for "...she is (claimed) a reincarnation of Florence Nightingale and the Greek goddess Aphrodite..." (Telegraph.co.uk August 13 2009).

Referring to solid facts, for a change, a fact is that these next declarations are unquestionably the declarations of Ryuho Okawa, published in The Los Angeles Times in october 19, 1991:

Okawa asserts that only the Japanese Leviathan will survive the imminent end of the world after destroying the United States and the Soviet Union, and that: "...In the 21st Century, there will be no enemies for Leviathan. It (Japan) will slash throats of the old eagle and the exhausted red bear, and laugh at the aging Europe. It will use China as a slave and Korea as a prostitute." Elsewhere in the book, he mocks American "civilization, which produced nothing more than weapons, cars, Coca-Cola and hamburgers. . . ." (Quotes from "Nostradamus: Fearful Prophecies" by Ryuho Okawa?!)

Complete article: http://articles.latimes.com/1991-10-19/entertainment/ca-721_1_united-states

Technically we should not consider these last words nor the books as the works of Ryuho Okawa, but in his own opinion as the words Nostradamus' spirit which Okawa claims to channel directly from the afterlife. If we also consider other books where he claims to have channeled the messages of Buddha, the Prophet Muhammad and Jesus Christ then it could be argued, not without a sense of legal irony, we should conclude that he is not the author of 500 books but only some 496, lets say.....

In another more recent article dated August 4 2009, on the Japan Times we read:

"...Against pictures of a mushroom cloud exploding over Tokyo and red ink slowly drowning the nation, the narrator warns that China ultimately lurks behind this plot. "With a population of 1.3 billion, China will rule the world," intones the voice of Kim. "And North Korea will be No. 2." Neither the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, nor their likely successors, the Democratic Party of Japan, have an answer to this threat, says the party. "The very existence of the nation hangs in the balance."

For those wondering how the narrator is privy to the thoughts of the world's most reclusive leader, the answer is simple: The Happies have a hotline direct to his subconscious.

A book released recently, "The Guardian Spirit of Kim Jong Il Speaks," by party founder and President Ryuho Okawa, explains that the voice of Kim's "guardian spirit" warned him of the North's plans. Okawa also tunes into the thoughts of Japan's wartime monarch, Emperor Hirohito, and his deceased predecessors...." (The link to the full article was properly provided by DAFJ in the Okawa wiki-page, thanks! )

Ok.... this might bring the Okawa's self authored book count to 495.... or is it 490.....? after reading how even the press has not been able to avoid it.... I beg of you all to allow me this bit of Irony! of my own .... though enough with the books now.

Or maybe just the reference to one last book, again written by Okawa, only that this time around it is Okawa himself who is being "channeled" through a writer "hired" by Japanese editor Tomo Machiyama. In Machiyama's own words, here is the reference to this controversial book "by" Mr. Okawa. From Machiyama's article:

"...I have a kind of interesting relationship with IRH (The Institute for Research in Human Happiness)... When I was an editor in Japan, I was sued by IRH for publishing a book which made fun of their founder, Ryuho Okawa. Of course I believe in freedom of religion, but I just couldn't stand such a stupid cult-one that was so arrogant to boot....Before Ryuho Okawa founded IRH, he was a ghostwriter literally. I mean, he wrote books as dead people! Like a medium, he wrote books under the names of world-historical religious figures: Christ, Buddha, Mohammad, even Confucius and Zeus...I think there's something very Japanese in that...Maybe someday, we'll worship Allah, too. Japanese believe in any religion, which means we have no faith at all... However, his books have some problems. First of all, they're all written in Japanese. In His book, Christ even uses modern Japanese slang. Second, it's obvious Okawa doesn't know much about the Bible, the Koran, or the Sutras. His Buddha, who can't even spell his wife's name correctly, goes on about Japanese television and the economy, not about ancient India. Following this series of works, Okawa went on to write as nonreligious figures: Shakespeare, Picasso, and Isaac Newton, but "Shakespeare" doesn't mention anything about his plays, and "Newton" doesn't talk about the laws of physics. Nonetheless, the books became bestsellers, because most Japanese have no clue about Christ, Buddha, or Newton. what do all the historical figures in these books say? They talk about the superiority of the Japanese race. In Okawa's book, Warning from Allah, Allah says, "You Japanese are the chosen nation to rule the world. So you should get rid of the peaceful constitution and get armed... Okawa, writing as Nostradamus, predicts, "Japan will occupy Korea again and then take over all of Asia"...No wonder he wrote a book as Buddha. Besides, he said the Buddha, meaning himself, was the creator of the cosmos, the ruler of the universe, and the boss of Christ, Mohammad, and Confucius. That managed to really offend Christians, Moslems, and Buddhists. Many offended groups declared Okawa a fraud who falsely used god's (or rather, godsí) name, but that was all they could do. One of the cults whose founder's name was used by Okawa sued him, but the case was rejected by the court, because it's impossible to prove the authenticity of a ghost. I was the one of the people offended by Okawa, because I am a Korean-Japanese, whom Okawa calls an inferior race. In order to attack him, I used Okawa's tactics. I hired a writer and had him write as Ryuho Okawa. In the book, the writer channeled Okawa's ghost, which confesses that he is just a mediocre man and apologizes to the people he hurt. It was kind of a joke, but we read all of Okawa's books and thoroughly researched his background. We criticized his fascism and screeds against minorities, gays, and women." (online article by Tomo Machiyama )

To end this long, entry, I would simply state that the first editor I shared my thoughts with was Darwinek, who I thank for his advice in this and other occasions. It was him who encouraged me to post my concerns in the discussion page. Needless to say, the least of my intentions would be to engage in an editing battle and least of all a heated debate, which would not be far from hilarious. I am submiting this case to the to the civility of this page and the opinion of qualified Wikipedia editors. I kindly ask Sysop Shii to understand my arguments and the constructive purpose behind them, assuring him I mean no grudge, just fervor in my argument at the most.

In my original edit I deleted not a single one of Okawa's controversial attributes, I just revealed them for what they truly are: claims. Restraining my own judgements, I have engaged in mirroring the judgements and arguments of others, and only through theirs, to suggest my own. I would appreciate if you would treat my entry here, on account of this self imposed constraint, which I have chosen to modulate my own argument. I would engage in further editions to this page, only and only after an reasonable agreement has been reached through common debate, for the sake of Wikipedia and for the sake of the respect we afford this website. If you really read through this whole (!) entry.... well congratulations!! (LOL) I await for your responses, thanks--Luxgratia (talk) 21:13, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Prior to Mycomp's edits the article was kind of hagiographic one, indeed. Now it is better, yet it needs expansion referenced with voices of criticism, as Luxgratia pointed out. The language of the article should be proper as well, distinction between "is" and "claims to be" should be noted. I encourage all involved parties to constructively edit the article with calm head and use third-party references. - Darwinek (talk) 13:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

hagiography

This article sounds rather hagiographic to me.--Mycomp (talk) 00:16, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

The hagiographic nature of the article may be due to persistent editing. There are a small numebr of articles critical (or at least non-partisan) of Okawa on the internet, but the vast majority of them are positive; most of these can be traced directly back to followers or to information supplied directly by them. Happy Science employs the services of Japan's largest advertising agency, which has apparently flooded the internet with articles and information that is overwhelmingly positive. Is it possible that this article is watched and editied by this company or members of his religion to keep it from expressing criticism?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by H Mcmanus (talk • contribs) 07:53, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

From beyond the grave book

There should be something in the article about "The Secret Behind 'The Rape of Nanking': A Spiritual Confession by Iris Chang" by Ryuho Okawa, a quite strange book which I've seen. It uses mystic séance spirit writings to justify Japanese WW2 Nanjing war crimes. Churchh (talk) 21:13, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Sourcing an article in this encyclopedia

Most of the sources should be independent of the subject of the article and meet WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. This is particularly important for discussion of his work. Editors shouldn't pick aspects of a book for instance that they think are interesting and add them. They need to find sources that discuss it and if they can't, it probably isn't significant enough for inclusion. See WP:UNDUE. Doug Weller talk 15:44, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Suggestion6 Addition of way of thinking

what's your opinion please

https://ryuho-okawa.org/

aiming to unite the world and aim to construct French national utopia around the world. All the political activities, education and other activities that we are doing are directed towards realizing the Utopia of the French country, integrating different thoughts and opinions in one direction towards God It is aiming at. For example, Japan has Shintoism in Japan, there are teachings of Jesus Christ, teachings of Buddha, Muhammad and Allah's teachings in the world. Although each has different aspects, our happiness science has accepted these religions and shows a liberal attitude. We must change these religions into something that aims for the same direction. This is the reason why our activities are diverse. Everything is an exercise for the utopia construction.

世界を一つにし、仏国土ユートピアを世界中に建設することを目指しているということです。私たちがやっている政治活動や教育、その他の活動はすべて、仏国土ユートピアを実現する方向に向けられており、互いに異なる思想や意見を、神へと向かう一つの方向に統合していくことを目指しているのです。

たとえば、日本には日本神道があり、世界にはイエス・キリストの教えや、釈尊の教え、ムハンマドやアッラーの教えがあります。それぞれが違う面を持ってはいますが、私たち幸福の科学は、これらの宗教を受け容れ、寛容な姿勢を示しています。これらの宗教を、同じ一つの方向を目指すものに作り変えていかなければなりません。これが、私たちの活動が多岐にわたっている理由です。すべてはユートピア建設のための運動なのです。 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orugaberuteika (talk • contribs) 14:21, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

This time I presented the evidence and made a detailed statement. I did not write a lie or an exaggeration. Is it a wiki's rule that a person interested in that person should not edit it? I am not describing it unilaterally but I am asking you to look at it objectively This time we presented the agenda for the first time, so it ran for a few days so we ran it There is something for your remarks, but I do not think you have the right to ban edit. For example, if editing is not allowed for things of interest, does it comply with the spirit of the wiki? Arbitrary editing is not good. So why do not you always look at this objectively? I have a question. So I definitely want you to answer positively This article will not develop unless you answer. WIKI does not develop either I am eager to make a friendly and constructive debate.

Yes, everybody starts out as a beginner, and experienced editors generally try to help newer editors out, and explain how things work. We were all new once, and that's how we learn. But in this case, there was a clear explanation here about how to use the template, which you ignored or didn't understand. (You must have followed that link since you did post the template). As for "COI declaration", that was explained on your talk page here three weeks ago (and you acknowledged that), and then again here (twice). Yet you ask about it here as if you've never heard the phrase before - so either you ignored the three requests on your talk page, or else you did not understand them. Competence is required to edit Wikipedia, and that includes being able to understand the information people provide. --bonadea contributions talk 14:03, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Some proposed changes

Thank you for answering, I would like to express my opinion. I think that there is a relationship. I believe that the number of followers is a necessary factor in accurately communicating him to article browsing users. On the page of Daisaku Ikeda representative of Soka Gakkai which is the same religion of Japan, the number of members is written. (Https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Daisaku_Ikeda) In Japan's new religion, only Soka Gakkai and Happy Science have more than 10 million followers. I think that describing the number of members is necessary information to understand him. For users, religious groups with small numbers of members and large religious groups have different understandings. In fact not only in Japan, there will be religious groups called cults all over the world. But depending on the scale, the meaning will differ. I think. If the number of believers in happiness science is about 100 or about 10,000 or so, it is a common small religious organization, so I do not need to mention anything special. But I think that the number of believers of 11 million is worth noting as information about him. (Again, it is only the Soka Gakkai and the science of happiness that there are over 10 million believers in Japanese new religion. Whether he is a representative of a small religious organization of about 10,000 people or a representative of a large religious organization of more than 11 million people, I think that it is important information to characterize that person . With that kind of consideration, not only pages of Soka Gakkai but also pages of Ikeda Daisaku have written membership number. How do you think that it would be more useful to include this number in addition to the number of believers in order to make this page fulfilling and make it a page that properly conveys him to the viewing user? Like the page of Ikeda Daisaku (the representative of Soka Gakkai), is not it kind to the viewing user to mention the number of members on the page of Okawa Ryotou (representative of science of happiness)? I understand that the purpose of wiki editing should be to delete meaningless information, add useful information to users, enrich them without excess or deficiency, and turn them into useful articles for users. I would like to receive guidance if my understanding is wrong in the first place.

What do you mean by "if there is no objection"? The edit request was declined on 7 October. You did not make any new arguments so obviously the previous objections still stand. The material does not belong here, it belongs in the article about the organisation. There may be a strong element of person worship in the organisation, but that does not mean that the person is the same as the organisation, and adding the figure here looks very much like an attempt to inflate his perceived importance without adding anything useful for the reader. Additionally, you ignored the request to present reliable sources (the one you added has already been discussed on this talk page and it does not meet WP:RS, and doesn't even mention Okawa's name). What is included in other Wikipedia articles is irrelevant. You have declared that you have no conflict of interest, but from the perspective of the encyclopedia you are still editing in a way that is entirely indistinguishable from somebody who has a strong COI, and so you should not edit the article directly. --bonadea contributions talk 07:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I was waiting for your advice. Sorry for making direct edits with this misunderstanding. sorry. The first point is that the name of Okawa Ryotou is not in the article. But Okawa Ryotoru is written in the article as being the creator of happiness science. Is not this obvious? What is wrong with this? I am waiting for your reply.

Every reference does not need to be duplicated here, since again, the article is about the individual and not the organisation. If you read the references, you will see that they do not represent the opinions of individual journalists; the word is used by multiple experts and organisations, as well as in media more generally, according to the reports in these three reliable sources. --bonadea contributions talk 14:21, 18 October 2018 (UTC) Thank you for the reply. I will admire your enthusiasm.I can not understand this part. Could you tell me why you thought so. A little more carefully, I am waiting for your reply. Thank you. Every reference does not need to be duplicated here, since again, the article is about the individual and not the organisation. Why differences arise between organizations and individuals. There is also a cult notation of the article on the wiki of happy scinece In addition to that, I think that we need more evidence of cults to express it as a cult. There are many articles about the science of happiness in the world. For example, at a Japanese newspaper company, Okawa goes to Germany for a lecture and is taken up as an article. There will be more than 10,000 articles about him. I think that it is not logical to write Cult as it is written as cult only in three of them. For the writer of this wiki, I clearly feel the intention of writing Okawa Ryohiko worse than it actually is. I think this is different from the spirit of wiki comment added by Orugaberuteika (talk • contribs) 13:55, 20 October 2018 The article does not say that his organisation is a cult. (In my opinion it would be more than reasonable to say that, but that is beside the point, as it doesn't in fact say it). It says that it has been widely criticized as a cult. As for the difference between the individual and the organisation, it seems pretty clear that Okawa is individually notable. If he were only notable because of his connection with the organisation, there shouldn't be an article about him at all, rather a paragraph about him in the Happy Science article. The fact that Happy Science is called a cult (and a sect) in many different contexts and by experts and media all over the world is very well-sourced indeed in the article about Happy Science, so your claim that there are only three newspaper articles is verifiably incorrect. All those sources are not required here, for reasons already explained. There is strong and unambiguous consensus in favour of this phrasing among the editors who are unaffiliated with the organisation. --bonadea contributions talk 13:41, 23 October 2018 (UTC) Thank you for your polite reply. I would like to express my opinion. 1) If so, will need more articles about cults. There are only three here. Although there are only three sources, it is irrational to have more. I need to post more here. 2) And in these three articles, it is an arbitrary reason that someone said this. Some university professor said The basis is thin. not written any evidence that it is widely said to be a cult in the world. There is no explanation as to why it is a cult. 3) Cult is basically a small number of people. However, the science of happiness already has 12 million members. This is a huge religion. 4) Cult is acting as an antisocial act. There is no specific basis that the science of happiness is acting anti-social. There is no source. 5) For the above reasons, the notation of cult is an exaggeration at the moment, and I feel that intend to write Okawa badly beyond necessity. I Although I have nothing to do with the science of happiness, Okawa is one of the intellectuals respected in Japan by many people. I think that this way of writing is inappropriate. Then many Japanese respect the guru of antisocial cult religion. That should not be. In the cult group, there are no 12 million followers, and there is no way to pick him up in Japanese television and newspapers. (If we pick up the guru of the cult group, complaints will rush to the newspaper company.) If so, it should be despised first in Japan.The Japanese does not tolerate antisocial cults. 6) At the moment the cult notation should be deleted. It should be noted after further verification. comment added by Orugaberuteika (talk • contribs) 13:55, 25 October 2018 All these points are addressed already (except that I'll add that it is a misunderstanding - maybe based on a poor translation of the word "cult" into Japanese - that cults are necessarily small groups of people. That is not the case, a cult may have millions of members. Not that that is really relevant since the article does not claim that HS is a cult.) --bonadea contributions talk 05:59, 26 October 2018 (UTC) Thank you.

I do not have time to spare, because I am a reasonable person, I do not feel like repeating meaningless. I want you to understand it. If there are many questions, I am sorry. Squeeze to one point. The article called "being cult" which is the source of this article lacks the "specific case" that it is a cult. Why can we certify as a cult? Is not it inappropriate to pick up a source that does not contain concrete examples as a source? In this article I feel the intention of expressing Okawa Ryoho over badly. Again, I have nothing to do with Okawa Ryori. However, this is inappropriate as a statement for a living person.

Just because I want to know your opinion, with love, Orugaberuteika (talk) 04:27, 3 November 2018 (UTC) I am sorry that there were a lot of questions. I will supplement it. I want to argue a point. "This source lacks concrete grounds." The content of this article is an article that "Mr. A thought that science of happiness was a cult". There is no written rational, concrete or objective argument about why the science of happiness is a cult. Numerical verification has not been done either. Based on such an unfounded article, it is a little overwhelming to write "widely criticized as cult".Where in this citations article "Whether it is inappropriate as a source because there is no objective, logical, or numerical evidence to prove cults, It is not evidence that some people think that this religion is cult and just write it, it does not assert that it is a cult. If it is accredited as a cult, it is necessary to find a logical and concrete basis for objectively indicating it. Please indicate which part of this article falls under that. Otherwise it is inappropriate to write in cults and articles. How about? Orugaberuteika (talk) 23:27, 6 November 2018 (UTC) Sorry, I forgot to write so add it. Forgive me. This article is an article for a living person. I have to write this article carefully. And when writing criticism sufficient verification is necessary. That is the rule of WIKI. If the argument that "Okawa is a guru of a cult organization" is insufficient, is not the sentence "widely criticized as cult" is inappropriate? If writing "cult", more evidence is necessary. Many people objectively read this article, and now it is a state where it can not be judged that "Okawa is definitely cult" when looking at the source. At this stage, is not it exaggerating to write that "the group he made is widely criticized as a cult?" How about feeling it is inappropriate notation even from the WIKI rule? WIKI must write the truth. If you do not do enough verification, tell a false alarm and write a person badly, that is something you should not be as an editor of WIKI. I think it is inappropriate to write that cult groups are widely criticized at this time. More discussion is necessary. Although arguing may not be needed anymore, I do not think there is a clear, objective, and logical basis clearly stated there even if I read the argument that has been written so far. If at least many people read this source, "If Okawa is certainly a guru of a cult organization," the source is inadequate.
