	Nichiren Shu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nichiren Shu (日蓮宗: "Nichiren School") is the oldest of the Nichiren Buddhist sects.
		Doctrinally, Nichiren Shu states that Shakyamuni is the Buddha and Nichiren is merely his priest, not his divine reincarnation.
		Another difference of Nichiren Shu is the positioning in its doctrine and practices of the Odaimoku (the mantra Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō) and of the Mandala or Gohonzon.

	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.
		All Nichiren movements focus in one way or another on the Lotus Sutra and on Nichiren himself as a bodhisattva or Buddha of the present age.

		Nichiren Shoshu was founded by Nikko Shonin, Nichiren Daishonin's successor, as he erected a temple near Mount Fuji in 1290.
		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.

	Rev. Ryuei: More on Pacifism and Self-Defense
		The Nichiren Shu is organized in Japan with a legislative, an executive, and a judicial branch.
		So in the Nichiren Shu one does not formally take up the precepts or the six perfections, but one does try to live in accord with the spirit of the Odaimoku, and those earlier teachings are viewed as guidance which elucidates that spirit.
		Nichiren certainly wrote eloquently about the sorrow and tragedy of war, but he never counseled his many samurai followers to lay down their arms in the face of the Mongol invasion.

		This has the appearance of an accretion or addition to Nichiren’s Buddhism by Nichiren Shu Komon School: The Fuji School (of which there are many, from the early days of recruiting High Priests from the Tendai sect, of Temple Yoboji).
		Nichiren’s Buddhism had been folded under a state run Buddhist denomination with an Emperor as the religious center, a Shogun (Jodo Sect) as the Priestly King, Daimyo and Samurai as the enforcers (Zen Sect), with a class structured culture based on copious formalism and ritual (as in Shingon), with little humanity.
		The truth is, all Nichiren Buddhists, up until the appearance of Nichikan, were the Icchantika, even the Nichiren Shu Komon School (Nikko's school from which Nichiren Shoshu came in the fallout from the attempts of the Meiji Restoration).

		The true interpretation Nichiren was so keen to promote was the Lotus Sutra.
		And with a little help from Nichiren it was going to be those twenty-eight chapters of The Louts Sutra, The Good Law, which would replace all other interpretations of Buddhism.
