Shinnyo

 * ... that after the Buddhist nun Shinnyo was chosen to restore the Chūgū-ji nunnery, she downplayed the contribution of the priests who selected her? Source: "Eison ... agreed to help with the revival of Chūgūji, and decided to appoint the nun Shinnyo ... as its rector" "She [Shinnyo] portrays herself as the sole force behind Chūgūji's revival" both in Meeks pp. 293-294.

 * Symbol question.svg Article is long enough and new enough. Am I blind, or does the "the founder of the Shingon Risshu sect" bit not appear in the sources for the sentence containing it? Didn't notice any plagiarism or copyvio issues when spot-checking, nothing on Copyviotools either. Hook is supported by the article and by the sources, but I wonder if a more interesting take on the story could be found. QPQ is done. And by the way, always glad when editors who took an indefinite leave return. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:51, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Source added for Eison, although his founding of Shingon Risshu is sourced in the linked article about him. As far as alternative hooks go, how about:
 * ALT1 ..."that Shinnyo was the first fully-ordained bhikkhuni in her order for several hundred years." Source: "... she also succeeded in convincing Kakujo ... to bestow the bikkuni (complete nun's precepts) on her, despite the fact that it had been hundreds of years since the monastic community had made these precepts available to women." Watson, 2013
 * Any better? Yunshui 雲 水 08:33, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Better, new source checked, may want to link bhikkhuni in the article as well. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:11, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It's linked in the first paragraph, but is piped to Buddhist nun for clarity. Yunshui 雲 水 08:04, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
