Attributed founding

Does not imply that the tradition began fully formed · that later adherents accept the attribution

Begin with a figure
What this means
Records whose own statements name this tradition — 1 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
An affiliation recorded on a person is a third party’s record, often of one period of a life — not that person’s belief at every point in it.

Connections
How Soka Gakkai connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Affiliation 1
What this means
Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.
Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure
Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.
Succession in office 2
What this means
Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.
Does not imply recognition by every tradition · an uncontested claim · parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened
