	Nichiren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nichiren was born in the fishing village of Kominato in the province of Awa.
		Nichiren was an extremely controversial figure in his own time, and many of the schools stemming from his teachings continue to inspire controversy today (see Nichiren Buddhism).
		Nichiren was harassed frequently, several times with force, and often had to change dwellings; for example, he was exiled to the Izu peninsula in 1261 and nearly assassinated in November 1264.

	Nichiren Buddhism
		For Nichiren, reciting the mystic phrase 'Namu Myoho Renge Kyo' ('Hail to the Lotus Sutra') was the quintessence of Buddhist practice.
		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.
		When Buddhism was disestablished in 1868 temple priests of all sects were obliged to concentrate on funeral and memorial services as their main activity, and there is not much difference in practice between Nichirenite and other forms of Buddhism.

	What is the Buddhism of Nichiren
		Nichiren Daishonin inscribed the fundamental object of respect, the Gohonzon.
		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.

	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 referred to this incident in an oblique criticism in which he said that they should not have beheaded the "innocent" Mongol Envoys, but would be better off beheading slander of the Dharma (correcting mistaken interpretations of Buddhism).
		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.

		Nichiren came to believe that he was living in a degraded age, an age of mappo (very similar to the English term "end times") where Buddha's teachings were misinterpreted and as a consequence many bad things were happening.
		Nichiren emphasised the Lotus Sutra to the extent that he taught that it was the only way that could lead to true Buddhahood, and create a truly good world.
		Nichiren not only embarked on missionary work for his own cause, but also on energetic disparagement of rival Buddhist views, to the extent of warning that those who followed them were going to hell.

	Nichiren Buddhism - ReligionFacts
		Nichiren Buddhism is a form of Japanese Buddhism that emphasizes repeated recitation of the mantra namu myoho renge kyo ("salutation to the Lotus Sutra") for health, happiness and enlightenment.
		Nichiren also taught that his time, characterized by political unrest, was the period of degeneration (or age of "latter dharma," known as mappo) that was predicted in the Lotus Sutra.
		Nichiren Daishonin (1222–1282), was a Japanese Buddhist sage who determined that the Lotus Sutra was the most important of Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings, and crystalized the essence of the sutra as the phrase "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo".

		Nichiren strongly believed that the true aim of Buddhism is to enable people living in the real world and facing real problems to become empowered and change their lives and society for the better.
		Nichiren Buddhism is a philosophy that respects the fundamental dignity of all life and stresses the profound connection between one's own happiness and the happiness of others.

	The Illness within Nichiren Buddhism
		The other sects of Buddhism had leaders that were all too willing to protect their own interests at the expense of the truth by slandering Nichiren and calling for his death as a heretic.
		However, Nichiren was never disparaging; he certainly was unafraid of telling his opponents what the results of their actions would be in the strictest terms, but he was always respectful and does, indeed, say that all the beings of the world would eventually attain buddhahood once they began practicing the Lotus Sutra.
		This is not to say that one who seeks to propagate Buddhism should not be unequivocal in his or her statements as to doctrine, rather that the tone and forcefulness of the rhetoric should be appropriate to our time and the country.

	Nichiren Buddhism
		There are at present two primary streams of Nichiren Buddhism reflecting an ancient split within Nichiren Buddhism that occured when Nikko Shonin split with the other five priests, and there are hundreds of schools, with many of the temples either independent or in loose association with one another.
		Early on Nichiren monks felt a need to interact with Tendai Monks and those interractions were so extensive, interlocking and two way, that they influenced Nichiren doctrines, with the result that ideas such as "Original enlightenment" were adopted by some schools and rejected by others.
		Nichiren Shoshu pioneered by the Sokagakkai under first Josei Toda and then the Charismatic leader Ikeda, became the largest single organization in Japan and also established beachheads in the rest of the world.

	Religious Movements Homepage: Nichiren Shoshu
		Buddhism refers to teachings that are explained by the Buddha and the process that one must completely understand and follow in order to become a 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 doctrine defines certain concepts as necessary to achieve the "true world." Unity between the laity, who correctly practice Buddhist Law explained by Nichiren Daishonin, and the priesthood, who correctly protect and spread the True Law of Nichiren Daishonin is of utmost importance.

	Nichiren Buddhism -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Nichiren believed that the quintessence of the Buddha's teachings was contained in the Lotus Sutra (Sanskrit: Saddharmapundarika-sutra; “The Scripture of the Lotus of the Good Law”).
		The indigenous Japanese Nichiren school is related both to the Lotus Sutra and Pure Land schools, for it, too, is centred on the “Lotus of the True Law” and also emphasizes fervent faith and the repetition of a key phrase.
		In the spring of 1253, Nichiren returned to Kiyosumi-dera, where he proclaimed his faith before his old master and his fellow monks, adding that all other forms of Buddhism were to be banished, for they were false and were misleading the people.
