**Tenge Shōshū** ---- | {{:wiki:tenge_soshu.png?nolink&50|}} || ^ The symbol of Tenge Shōshū. ^^ ^ Classification | [[Dharmic religions|Dharmic]] | ^ Theology | Mahagaurava theology, Tenge Shōshū current | ^ Region | [[Tenzan]] | ^ Founder | [[Tenge]] | Tenge Shōshū (Tenzanese: 天華正宗) is a [[Tengeshū]] sect that regards the **[[Mahamandala]]** (Tenzanese: 摩訶曼荼羅 //Makamandara//), an inscription by [[Tenge]], as the supreme object of devotion. The sect places emphasis in the role of one central, hereditary high priest as the only legitimate inheritor of Tenge, the final [[Prajna]], whose teachings have surpassed those of the [[Saura Prajna]] in the moral decline phase of this eon; these traits together distinguish the sect from other Tengeshū varieties. Tenge Shōshū promotes itself, and adherence to its doctrinal purism, as the only correct form of religious practice. As a centralized congregation, it has been accused of exclusivist rigidity and authoritarianism by outsiders, and former affiliates such as the [[Zochi Gakushu]]. It vehemently denies the validity of other forms of Nirvanism due to being either perceived as incomplete or outright heretical. The faith is practiced in [[Tenzan]] and rarely areas with Tenzanese migrant populations. {{tag>religion nirvanism tengeshu tenge_shoshu}}
