Nichiren Buddhism was one of the key sects in medieval Japan. Nichiren (1222-1282) was a Tendai Buddhist monk who left the monastery and invented what was truly a Japanese version of Buddhism; rather than focus on the saving power of the Amida, Nichiren stressed that the Lotus Sutra, upon which Tendai doctrine was based, was the key to all enlightenment and fully embodied the truth of the Buddha Trinity (Vairochana, the Eternal Buddha (in Japanese: Dainichi); Amitabha, the Body of Bliss or Eternal Buddha (which is what the Amidists worshipped); Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha). Nichiren required that all boddhisattvas (those striving to become a Buddha) recite the Lotus sutra rather than the name of Amida; unlike Amidism, Nichiren Buddhism laid emphasis on individual effort rather than salvation through the action of the Buddha.

Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin Interested in Buddhism but didn't know where to look? Heard of the phrase 'nam myoho renge kyo' but didn't know how to say it? Wanted something 'more' in your life but wasn't sure quite what that 'more' was? Then maybe this is what you've been looking for. Most people in the world today who practice the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin are members of an organisation called SGI (Soka Gakkai International).  Soka Gakkai literally means Value Creation, therefore it the Buddhist Society for the Creation of Value. All SGI activities are based on the teachings and the individual practice of the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin.  This 13th Century Japanese sage centred his philosophy on what is traditionally thought to be one of the last recorded teachings of the first historically recorded Buddha (variously known as Guatama Siddhartha or Shakyamuni Buddha) which was named the Lotus Sutra.  The Lotus Sutra declares that all living beings regardless of gender or intellectual capacity, can attain the enlightened state of life within their given lifetime.  In common with other Buddhist teachings, individual enlightenment is grasped through the profound realisation of the inseparability of the individual and their spiritual and physical environment and their ability to powerfully influence both.

An introduction to Nichiren Buddhism Buddhism was founded some 2500 years ago by Shakyamuni (Siddhartha Gautama), a crown prince of a small north Indian country, who could have lived a life of wealth and comfort, but instead dedicated himself to solving the problem of how to overcome human misery. He tried all the current religious practices, including taking asceticism to such an extreme that he almost died of starvation, and found that none of them worked. Instead he went into a deep meditation (under the famous bo-tree) and eventually found true enlightenment as to the nature of existence, and then spent the rest of his life trying to impart his discovery to those around him. document.write("You're using "+navigator.appName+" -> "+navigator.appVersion+".")

What is the Buddhism of Nichiren? Members of the SGI practice the Buddhism taught by Nichiren , a 13th Century Japanese priest whose philosophy centered around one of the last teachings of the first historically recognized Buddha (known as Siddhartha Gautama or Shakyamuni Buddha ). This teaching, called the Lotus Sutra, declares that all living beings, regardless of gender or intelligence, have the potential to attain Buddhahood. Enlightenment is an awakening to the true nature of life, including the profound realization of the interconnectedness of all things - the inseparable relationship between the individual and the environment and the ability of each human being to powerfully influence both. This realization leads the individual to assume personal responsibility for her or his own condition and for that of the immediate and distant environment. This responsibility is furthered by an understanding of the simultaneity of cause and effect. Each thought, word or deed has an immediate effect both on the individual and on his or her environment, even if the effect takes time to manifest. The goal of SGI members is to manifest Buddhahood, or enlightenment, in their own lives, which will tap their own creative potential as individuals and, in so doing, create thriving and peaceful families, work places and communities. The eventual goal is, through the gradual "human revolution" of individuals, to create peace and prosperity in societies throughout the world.

Who was Nichiren? Nichiren (1222-1282) was the Japanese founder of Nichiren Buddhism . Born as a fisherman's son, he was called Zennichimaro. He went to Seicho-ji temple in his home province of Awa to study Buddhism in 1233. Shortly after his tonsure at sixteen, he took the name of Rencho and went to Kamakura for further studies. After returning from Kamakura, he traveled to Kyoto and Nara, the old centers of traditional Buddhism in Japan, where he mastered all the sutras and literature of Buddhism. In I253, returning to Seicho-ji, Rencho adopted the name Nichiren (Sun-Lotus) when he advocated chanting "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" for the first time. He declared the establishment of a new Buddhism. In 1279 he inscribed the Dai-Gohonzon as the fundamental object of respect for the peace and happiness of all mankind. He died three years later. See "The Life of Nichiren Daishonin" in the Introduction of The Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1. The term " Daishonin " is an honorific title meaning "great sage" and has been traditionally used in reference to Nichiren, e.g. Nichiren Daishonin, by the Nichiren Shoshu school of Buddhism. The Soka Gakkai and SGI have adopted this usage in most publications, however it is not commonly used in society or by academic and religious scholars.

Printer-Friendly Version E-mail This Article A Brief Introduction to Nichiren Buddhism by Michael Lisagor Sources: The Soka Gakkai Dictionary of Buddhism, The Lotus Sutra, The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin and the SGI-USA web site, www.sgi-usa.org. The purpose of the practice of Nichiren Buddhism is to achieve world peace through individual happiness. This begins with people taking responsibility for their own lives and gradually projecting their increased wisdom, courage and compassion into their surroundings. The Nichiren School of Mahayana Buddhism is a life philosophy based on the fundamental belief that all humans have an enlightened or Buddha nature within their life. Buddha means an "awakened one" . . . not a special or supernatural being, but a potential any person can realize. The key to unlocking this unlimited wisdom and fortune is to chant the phrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. It was Nichiren's desire, based on his deep concern for the happiness and welfare of all people, to make the essential truths of Buddhism accessible to everyone. He predicted that as more and more people embraced this humanistic philosophy and overcame their sufferings to live truly happy and fulfilled lives, world peace would be achieved.

SOKA GAKKAI TODAY: Philosophy SG TODAY What is Soka Gakkai? Philosophy History ... Organization PRAYER IN BUDDHISM Prayer is central to the practice of Nichiren Buddhism. SGI members often relate experiences of "offering earnest prayer," or "praying from the bottom of my heart." They also speak of having their prayers "answered." What do SGI members mean when they make such statements? The Webster's Third International Dictionary defines prayer as "a solemn and humble approach to Divinity in word or thought, usually involving beseeching, petition, confession, praise, or thanksgiving." In what way does the Buddhist understanding of prayer accord with this definition, and how does it differ? Prayer appears to be a universal human activity. There is evidence to suggest that humans have been engaged in some form of "prayer" since the earliest days of our species. As soon as humans developed a consciousness of their relative powerlessness before the forces of nature, the precariousness of their existence and their own mortality, they no doubt began giving expression to intense feelings of petition, praise or thanksgiving. SGI President Daisaku Ikeda has written that religion grew from prayer; that the sentiment and act of prayer precedes the forms that different religious traditions have since given this primordial human act. Buddhist prayer likewise may be thought of as a focused expression of these same sentiments of yearning, commitment and appreciation. It is, however, distinguished by the fact that Buddhism locates the divine within the life of the individual practitioner. The purpose of Buddhist prayer is to awaken our innate inner capacities of strength, courage and wisdom rather than to petition external forces.

He believed that there was only one true way to practice Buddhism correctly. He set out to study all the sects and learn as much as he could to prove his theory. After 15 years of study, Nichiren presented his ideas to the people of Japan. He stated that the correct way of practice in the Latter Day of the Law is to chant
