| | Nichiren Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Nichiren Buddhism (日蓮系諸宗派: Nichiren-kei sho shūha) is a branch of Buddhism based on the teachings of the 13th century Japanese monk Nichiren (1222–1282). | | | Nichiren Buddhism is generally noted for its focus on the Lotus Sutra and an attendant belief that all people have an innate Buddha nature and are therefore inherently capable of attaining enlightenment in their current form and present lifetime. | | | During his lifetime Nichiren stridently believed that the contemporary teachings of Buddhism taught by other sects (particularly Shingon, Nembutsu, and Zen) were mistaken in their interpretations of the correct path to enlightenment and therefore refuted them publicly and vociferously. |

| | Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism - The Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin | | | Nichiren Shoshu teaches that the Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, was also the original Buddha, and all mankind will achieve eternity if they share the nature of Buddha. | | | Each Nichiren Shoshu temple in any country and location is filled with the Three Treasures of True Buddhism, which are the Buddha, the Law, and the Priesthood, and centers around Gohonzon, which is passed down through generations from Nichiren Daishonin to practice and propagate Nichiren Daishonin's teachings correctly as it is their mission. |

| | Nichiren Shoshu continues to teach that Nichiren was the true Buddha and that Nikko Shonin was the specific treasure of the priest (see truebuddha.html and Kechimyaku.html). | | | Nichiren Shoshu is the modern name of the Fuji School of Nichiren's teachings, (sometimes also refered to as True Buddhism) that claims a relatively unbroken lineage from Nichiren Daishonin Himself, through Nikko Shonin and a succession of High Priests, including Nichimoku Shonin, Nichiu Shonin. | | | Nichiren Shoshu also insists that one can practice correctly only if one practices with Nichiren Shoshu as taught by the current High priest and is connected to Nichiren Daishonin through the Dai-Gohonzon and the current High Priest. |

| | The Nichiren Shoshu priesthood insists that the SGI has no right to disseminate or interpret Nichiren Buddhism or provide the means for individuals to take up their practice of Buddhism, while the SGI continues its worldwide efforts to inform people about this faith and to promote mutual respect and understanding among individuals and communities. | | | Nichiren Buddhism sees itself as the “Buddhism of sowing.” This means that it is always possible to implement a new cause which will produce a new effect. | | | The aim of Nichiren Buddhism is to establish and maintain the predominance of the state of Buddhahood. |

| | The practice of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is to recite Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and part of the second "Hoben" and the entire sixteenth "Juryo" chapters of the Lotus Sutra in front of the Gohonzon. | | | Nichiren Daishonin was persecuted throughout his life by the Japanese government and by religious powers who considered his revolutionary teachings a grave threat to their continued authority. | | | This is the fundamental practice of Nichiren Buddhism, performed morning and evening. |

| | According to Nichiren Shoshu lore, Nichiren inscribed the Dai Gohonzon on October 12, 1279 in response to reports that his followers in the Atsuhara village of Japan, who were facing severe religious persecution by their local government, were willing to give their lives if necessary for the sake of their Buddhist faith. | | | Nichiren is the only person in the entire land of Jambudvipa who has fulfilled the Buddha's words. | | | Nichiren himself used the three proofs as his standard of judging a Buddhist teaching's validity. |

| | Nichiren, the 13th century Buddhist reformer, taught a simple and accessible, yet powerfully effective, form of practice. | | | After all, educating people about Nichiren Shoshu's true intent is synonymous with the Soka Gakkai spirit to counter selflessly any forces that threaten this Buddhism and to make sure that we protect the Law for the people, for the future, based on the example set for us by the Nichiren Daishonin. | | | We should be aware of those offering Gohonzon and teachings under the guise of Nichiren Buddhism but who are, in fact, propagating views that distort the Daishonin's teachings. |

| | In the center of the mandala is the pagoda that is the symbol of the truth of the Buddha (tathagata) in the Lotus Sutra. | | | The Nichiren-shoshu ("True School of Nichiren") draws its doctrine from Nikko, a student of Nichiren's, and venerates Nichiren as "the buddha of the final time." Also, modern Japanese folk religions like Rissho Koseikai, Soka Gakkai, and Nipponzan Myohoji are based on the Nichiren school. | | | The Nichiren school venerates "three great mysteries" The first, devised by Nichiren himself, is the mandala (go-honzon) preserved on Mount Minobu, said to synthesize the teaching of the Lotus Sutra. |

| | Nichiren teaches that the only way to inherit the ìultimate law of life and deathî is to recognize that ìwe ordinary human beings are in no way differentî and that ìall disciples and believers of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with one mind (itai doshin), transcending all differences among themselves.î | | | To spread the teachings of enlightenment is the purpose of Shakyamuni, the Lotus Sutra, Nichiren, and the SGI. | | | This spiritual bond is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate law of life and death. |

| | Argument or actions against the current high priest to question his competency were undertaken with the intention of protecting the correct Buddhist teachings and Nichiren Shoshu. | | | The photographs in question were taken at an expensive Japanese restaurant in Tokyo and provided to Soka Shimpo by reformist priest Rev. Hosho Shiina (who passed away last year) to question the high priest’s integrity as a spiritual leader. | | | We will never do something as nonsensical as that." Alas, Nikken has come to a stage where he has completely denied the importance of establishing the actual High Santuary of True Buddhism, which is the will of Nichiren Daishonin. |
