Dear list,

Talking about Buddhist stand on other religions, do any of you know if
the Japanese concepts of shakubuku and shoju (proselytizing by
confrontation and proselytizing by example) have a history going back to
Sanskrit or Pali concepts? In other words, do these concepts only exist
within Nichiren Buddhism, do they flow around in other Mahayaana schools
or do they even go back to Theravaada concepts?

all the best,
Mikael
