Nichiren

the Path

Nichiren Buddhism is a form of Buddhism that was founded in Japan by the monk Nichiren in the 13th century. It is based on the Lotus Sutra, a Mahayana Buddhist scripture that Nichiren believed was the highest expression of the Buddha's teachings. The goal of Nichiren Buddhism is enlightenment, or the realization of one's true nature and the end of suffering. To achieve this goal, Nichiren Buddhists practice the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is a mantra that is believed to embody the teachings of the Lotus Sutra.

Nichiren Buddhists believe that by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and studying the Lotus Sutra, one can awaken to one's inherent Buddhahood and gain the wisdom and compassion necessary to transform suffering and bring about positive change in the world.
