Translating Buddhist stuff is the absolute WORST.  I sometimes think that Buddha was just trying to beat Sokal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair) to the punch by inventing a religion that was pure mumbo jumbo.

From my reading of the refs this seems OK, but there could be a lot more. I simply have too much trouble with trying to translate Japanese descriptions of Buddhist terminology to attempt to add any more.

there's another meaning specified too for "hokkai" which I 
skipped
" 因果の理に支配される万有の総体。全宇宙。"

There's a bunch of other meanings for "houkai", but I'm not 
sure how to deal with that in a single entry
