| | Nichiren Buddhism |
| | For Nichiren, reciting the mystic phrase 'Namu Myoho Renge Kyo' ('Hail to the Lotus Sutra') was the quintessence of Buddhist practice. | | | The 'New Buddhisms' of the Kamakura period (1185-1333) were firmly rooted in traditional Chinese Buddhist doctrines. | | | Nichiren's teachings, though based on a sophisticated knowledge of the Buddhist scriptural tradition, are set out in the form of intriguing vernacular dialogues between a devotee of the Lotus Sutra and an unbeliever, and in letters sent by Nichiren to various disciples during his lifetime. |

| | 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. |
