21. On The Priest Nichiren, Founder Of Nichiren Buddhism The biography of Nichiren Shonin (12221282), written by Ryuei Michael McCormickof Nichiren Shu on the history of nichiren buddhism. http://campross.crosswinds.net/Ryuei/NichirensBio.html

Nichiren Shonin (1222-1282) by Ryuei Michael McCormick Part 1: Childhood and Early Studies Nichiren Shonin is the founder of Nichiren Buddhism. He was born on February 16, 1222 in the fishing village of Kominato in the Japanese Province of Awa, which is Chiba Prefecture today. His father's name was Nukina Jiro Shigetada, and he may have been a minor functionary working for the nearby manor house. His mother's name was Umegiku. Little is known of his parents, though Nichiren Shonin later claimed that he was the son of a humble fisherman. Nichiren Shonin's childhood name was Zen-nichi-maro. At the age of 11, Nichiren Shonin's bright and questioning mind attracted the attention of the lady of the local manor for whom his father worked. Her patronage enabled him to enter the local Seichoji Temple (also called Kiyosumidera), where he could receive an education and begin his quest for his many questions about life. There, he was given the name Yaku-o-maro. Upon entering the temple, Nichiren Shonin prayed to Akashagarbha Bodhisattva (Kokuzo Bosatsu) to become the wisest person in Japan so that he could discover the true intention of Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings. Specifically, he wanted to know why the people who put their faith in Nembutsu were still suffering and even undergoing terrible and painful deaths; he wanted to know why the emperor had been defeated by the shogunate in 1221 even though the god Hachiman had vowed to support the imperial family until the 100th emperor; and he wanted to know which sect upheld the true teaching of the Buddha.

History of Nichiren Buddhism The Fuji Lineage by Ryuei Michael McCormick The history of the Fuji Lineage of Nikko is a convoluted story all on its own. It is an important one, however, because the Nichiren Shoshu sect derives from this lineage, and through its one-time lay organization, the Soka Gakkai , the Nichiren Shoshu teachings have spread more widely inside and outside of Japan than any of the other Nichiren sects. Because of this, the idiosyncratic views of Nichiren Shoshu are the only ones commonly known outside Japan, though the major Nichiren schools in Japan view them as misreprentations of the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Shonin. A careful examination of the history and claims of Nichiren Shoshu reveal that these teachings are, in fact, based upon a tapestry of unsubstantiated claims. These idiosyncratic views cannot be traced back to Nikko himself, but one must understand the history of Nikko's Lineage and especially the history of Taisekiji Temple to see how Nichiren Shoshu developed. To recap, in 1290, the Lord of Ueno, Nanjo Tokimtsu, built the Taisekiji Temple at Oishigahara for Nikko who had left Mt. Minobu because of his disputes with Lord Hakii and Niko. Nanjo Tokimitsu, the Lord of Ueno, was the uncle of Nikko's disciple Nichimoku.

Toki Tsunenobu (1216-1299), a samurai in the Province of Shimousa (Chiba-ken), also had some relation with his family. In 1233, the lady of the manor entered Zennichimaro into Kiyosumidera (Seichôji), a temple of the Tendai Sect, as a page to Chief Priest Dôzen.

Current Letters to the Editor Updated March 18, 2003. Please send us your comments. While I admire Ms. Perry's intentions, and respect her right to express her views, I do not share them in all particulars. This is of no consequence to me (or, presumably, to her), in that I am not a member of the SGI-USA. If, however, I were a member of that organization, I would strongly object to its leadership adopting her "Alternative" proposal. The reason is that it mixes Buddhism with politics and endorses a specific political position, which I consider to be a mistake on an organizational level. Ms. Perry wrote: "The following declaration ... is also based on the reality that the current impending crisis is one in which our nation would be initiating an attack without provocation and when non-life-threatening means toward conflict resolution are being implemented: We are fundamentally opposed to inflicting the scourge of war, and the taking of life that it entails, upon the people of Iraq, upon United States military enlistees, upon other United States citizens and military enlistees, upon citizens of other countries that might participate in a war with Iraq and upon those who might become involved in subsequent military actions that could ensue due to a war with Iraq."

Research Agenda Project 1: Research on Nichiren Buddhism This project involves conducting academic research on the doctrine and philosophy of Nichiren Daishonin including a literary study of Nichiren Daishionin Gosho Zenshu (The Complete Works of Nichiren Daishonin). In addition to the research on the subsequent development of Nichiren's doctrine and philosophy, the project also extends to studying the doctrinal, philosophical and cultural significance of the movement of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) as the modern day development of Nichiren Buddhism. Research in this area has led to the publication of Shumon mondai o kangaeru (On the Priesthood Problem) by Masahiro Kobayashi, Daisan Bunmei Sha, 1991, Nichiren Daishonin no gosho o yomuJo (On Reading the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Part 1, Daisan Bunmei Sha, 1996, and Makiguchi Tsunesaburo no dhukyo undo (Tsunesaburo Makiguchi's Religious Movement) by Koichi Miyata, Daisan Bunmei Sha, 1993).

30. The Institute Of Oriental Philosophy: Xxx nichiren buddhism and Empowerment. In this paper I would like to explore areasof contact between nichiren buddhism and the idea of selfempowerment. http://www.iop.or.jp/kawada2.htm

Nichiren Buddhism and Empowerment Yoichi Kawada, director of The Institute of Oriental Philosophy, Tokyo (August 26, 1999, at the American Psychological Association Convention, Boston, USA) Nichiren is the 13th-century Japanese Buddhist teacher whose teachings inspire the activities of the SGI. In this paper I would like to explore areas of contact between Nichiren Buddhism and the idea of self-empowerment. Nichiren himself was thoroughly versed in the intellectual history of Buddhism. His understanding was rooted in the Sutras recording the teachings of Shakyamuni, and drew from the theories and exegeses of the Indian scholars Nagarjuna (c. 2-3 century C.E.), Vasubandhu (5th-century C.E.), the Chinese Buddhist T'ien T'ai School, and Japan's Saicho (8th-century C.E.). Thus, in discussing empowerment, I will start by exploring points of contact between modern Western psychology and the "eight consciousness" theories developed by Nagarjuna and Vasubandhu, and adopted and developed by T'ien T'ai and Nichiren. It was the historian Arnold Toynbee who said that the two great discoveries of this century were the theory of relativity in the realm of physics and the work of uncovering the unconscious in the realm of psychology. He further remarked that the discovery of the unconscious revealed that each individual is in fact a cosmos, a universe.

The Illness within Nichiren Buddhism or, Shoju and Shakubuku Introduction These two methods of shoju and shakubuku are like water and fire. Fire hates water, water detests fire. The practitioner of shoju laughs with scorn at shakubuku. The practitioner of shakubuku laments at the thought of shoju. When the country is full of evil people without wisdom, then shoju is the primary method to be applied, as described in the "Peaceful Practices" chapter. But at a time when there are many people of perverse views who slander the Law, then shakubuku should come first, as described in the "Never Disparaging" chapter. - The Opening of the Eyes, part 2 Fellow Practitioners of the Buddhism of Nichiren: Something is wrong in the world of Nichiren Buddhism. No matter the school of Nichiren Buddhism in question, the promise of the practice of this Buddhism is enlightenment, the opening up of our Buddha wisdom and bodhisattva compassion. And Nichiren reminded us that daily life is Buddhism, and Buddhism is in accord with reason. Nonetheless, if you look at any reasonable sampling of the message boards, mailing lists, and newsgroups related to Nichiren Buddhism, you will see that many of these forums wallow in hatred and anger - and perhaps ignorance, as well. Of course, some argue that the internet is a poor sampling of Nichiren Buddhists; this may very well be true. However, Nichiren Buddhists active in internet forums have a special responsibility. The internet is rapidly becoming (and for some groups, already is) the main source of information for society. Many people, when looking for information on a new subject, turn to the internet to thoroughly research that subject from all available angles. Within the next ten years - perhaps even within the next five - just about every person in the most impressionable age groups will be obtaining their information and forming their opinions based on the variegated landscape that is the internet.

Nichiren Buddhism is a branch of Buddhism based on the teachings of the 13th century Buddhist monk named Nichiren In his priestly studies, Nichiren discovered that the highest teachings of the Buddha Sakyamuni (563?-483?BC) were to be found in the Lotus Sutra . The mantra he expounded, " Namu Myoho Renge Kyo ," expresses his devotion to that body of teachings, and is chanted by his followers to this day. In his life he stridently believed that the contemporary teachings of Buddhism taught by other sects (like Zen ) were mistaken in their interpretations of the correct path to enlightenment and therefore refuted them publicly and vociferously. In doing so, he provoked the ire of the ruling Japanese feudal lords, and was subjected to exiles and persecutions for his propagation efforts. His personal communications and writings to his followers detail his view of the correct form of practice for the "Latter Day of the Law" (mappo), and many are preserved to this day.

He was an extremely controversial figure in his own time, and his Buddhism continues to be controversial today. During his lifetime, he sought reform of Buddhism within Japan. Nichiren believed that the teachings contained in the Lotus Sutra were given by the Buddha Sakyamuni. Not all scholars today believe that the Lotus Sutra was written by Sakyamuni. Many believe it was written by one of his later followers. One central theme in the Lotus Sutra, which was emphasized by Nichiren and is emphasized in Nichiren Buddhism today, is that enlightenment may be attained in a single lifetime.

Nichiren Buddhism The distinguishing practice of Nichiren and Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, two similar sects based on the teachings of the fiery Japanese reformer Nichiren (1222-82), is the chanting of the phrase Namu Myoho Renge Kyo : "I trust in the Sutra of the Lotus of the Wonderful Law" (or Lotus Sutra). A fisherman's son who became a monk of the Tendai sect at 15, Nichiren came to the conclusion that the only true Buddhism was that of the Lotus Sutra, which contained the words of the Buddha himself, as opposed to other schools based on the writings of Buddhist adepts or commentators. But Nichiren went further, attacking the traditional doctrines of Buddhism, and teaching that anyone who chanted Namu Myoho Renge Kyo would achieve paradise on earth, for which he was ostracized and persecuted. Nichiren's beliefs were strongly nationalistic; he felt that Japan could prosper only through teaching the Lotus Sutra, and that he was not only the nation's savior but also an incarnation of two bodhisattvas. Followers of Nichiren today imagine Japan as the center of a Buddha-world that will in time encompass the globe a truly universal religion. The Nichiren chant is often accompanied by drumming, something which may have helped attract a number of prominent American musicians to its practice, most notably jazz pianist Herbie Hancock and pop singer Tina Turner. Nichiren Shoshu developed in the 20th century based on the teachings of a Nichiren disciple named Nikko. A modern lay organization of the Nichiren sect, called the

A History of Nichiren Buddhism and the Fuju Fuse Practice of Alms Refusal by Stephanie Maltz ©2002 Before his death, Nichiren designated six of his closest disciples (roku roso, or the six elder monks) to propagate faith in the Lotus Sutra and direct the affairs of local congregations scattered mostly throughout the eastern provinces. The six elders were Nissho (1221-1323), Nichiro (1245-1320), Nikko (1246-1333), Niko (1253-1314), Nitccho (1252-1317) and Nichiji (1250-?). Each of these elders became independent, founding his own propagation center which eventually grew into the head temple of his own line ("monryu") of transmission. The task of converting the Kansai area, and the Imperial capital of Kyoto in particular, fell to a novice named Nichizo (1264-1342), Nichiro's 13 year old nephew. The custodial duties naturally fell on Nikko, whose own base of activites in Suruga province was the nearest to Minobu. He was soon joined by Niko who had been active in Nichiren's home province of Awa. The two elders shared the responsibilites of running the Kunoji complex, Nikko taking charge of administrative matters, Niko heading the training of young disciples. The feud between Nikko and Niko was irreconcilable, and Nikko eventually left Kuonji after Lord Hakiri chose his rival, Niko, as the first chief abbot of Kuonji. Up til that time, there had been no single person who headed Kuonji. The rotating system of elders had failed to maintain the premises so it was deemed necessary to install a permanent abbot to oversee the complex. Unfortunately, Lord Hakiri chose Niko over Nikko. Nikko could not overlook the obvious slur in being passed over in deference to his junior rival.
