NICHIREN SHU
The Nichiren Shu is a Buddhist Order founded by the religious prophet and reformer, Nichiren Shonin (1222-1282). He espoused the doctrine that the Lotus Sutra (Saddharma Pundarika Sutra) represents the embodiment of the genuine teachings of Sakyarnuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, the Saviour of this world.
Our belief in this doctrine is affirmed by our chanting of the Odaimoku (Sacred Title) “Namu Myoho Renge Kyo,” that is, “Moration to the Scripture of the Lotus of the Perfect Truth.’
We believe that Nichiren Shonin was the messenger of the Buddha who has guided us in cultivating our Buddha-nature, a quality inherent in all beings, and establishing a way of life consonant with the eternal truths preached by the Buddha.
We VOW to the Buddha and Nichiren Shonin that we will strive to engender peace within ourselves and throughout the world by disseminating the teaching expounded in the Lotus Sutra.
Minobusan Kuonji Temple, established by Nichiren Shonin in 1274, is the Head Temple of the Nichiren Shu. It is the most sacred place of worship for followers of the order and is located in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. The administrative head. quarters of the order which governs more than 5,300 Nichiren temples is located in Tokyo.
