| | Nichiren Daishonin, by the Nichiren Shoshu school of Buddhism. | | | Nichiren (1222-1282) was the Japanese founder of Nichiren Buddhism. | | | The revolutionary nature of Nichiren's achievement lies in the fact that he made it possible, for the first time, for all people to actually practice the highest teachings of Buddhism by providing a methodology whereby they can establish a life-condition of absolute happiness, unswayed by changing outer circumstances. |

| | Nichiren summoned all Buddhists to a renewed faith and effort centred upon the Lotus Sutra. | | | In contrast to the pessimism that the doctrine of mappo created in many Buddhists, Nichiren was joyous in the belief that the time of redemption was at hand. | | | For Nichiren, however, the doctrine of original enlightenment means that every human being is originally enlightened, and the effort to become enlightened is not the realization of a potential, but rather a recovery of one's true nature. |

| | Nichiren Daishonin |
| | Nichiren Shoshu also claims "At this point, according to the teachings of Nichiren Shoshu, Nichiren Daishonin relinquished his transient status as Bodhisattva Jogyo who was entrusted by Shakyamuni Buddha in the Lotus Sutra with the propagation of the Law in the Latter Day, and revealed his true identity as the original Buddha. | | | Nichiren studied both Buddhist and secular teachings under the chief priest, Dozen-bo, and assisted by other preists, Joken-bo and Gijo-bo, who had the wisdom to become his disciples later in life. | | | Nichiren's formal criticisms of Esoteric teachings, in similar manner to his criticisms of Honen, focused on their disregarding and "slandering" the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, but he also emphasized the importance of relying on original sources in transmitting and learning Buddhism. |

| | Seeing the great courage and determination of his disciples, Nichiren decided that the time was right to inscribe the Dai-Gohonzon, the true object of worship to enable all people to obtain Buddhahood, which would be protected by his disciples and passed down the centuries for future generations. | | | What he preached in that first sermon amounted to a rejection of all the existing sects in Japan and a declaration that Nam Myoho Renge Kyo was the teaching valid for the latter day that would enable anyone to achieve enlightenment in their present lifetime. | | | He gained many converts and was once again subjected to persecutions, the worst of which is known as the Atsuhara Persecution in which 20 of his disciples were arrested and three of them beheaded. |
