Extractions: The Site for Information on Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism in North America Nichiren Shoshu is the 750 year old orthodox Buddhist denomination centered at Head Temple, Taisekiji, at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Japan. Nichiren Shoshu has temples and centers worldwide and actively propagates the teachings of the True Buddha, Nichiren Daishonin, who made His advent in Japan in 1222. The practice of Nichiren Shoshu brings powerful benefits and positive changes to the lives of those who practice it. The ultimate goals are the attainment of enlightenment by the individual and, through widely spreading True Buddhism, the establishment of a purified world where all people can enjoy happy lives together. The daily practice consists of chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and reciting portions of the Lotus Sutra to the fundamental Object of Worship called the Gohonzon. There are 6 Temples in the United States and many local area meeting places. All are invited to come learn about Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism and experience its beneficial power. This site gives Temple locations, articles, and links to other related sites.

The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain-as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honour than to live to one hundred and twenty and die in disgrace. Live so that all the people of Kamakura will say in your praise that Nakatsukasa Saburo Saemon-no-jo is diligent in the service of his lord, in the service of Buddhism, and in his concern for other people. More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!

Extractions: Questions and Answers on the Temple Issue A Pamphlet Published by the Soka Gakkai International-USA, 1997. INTRODUCTION WHAT IS THE TEMPLE ISSUE WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE TEMPLE ISSUE WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT NIKKEN ... Download the PDF INTRODUCTION This pamphlet attempts to outline some key elements of what has become known in the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) as the "temple issue" events and information related to Nichiren Shoshu's attacks on the SGI, and its continued efforts to undermine SGI's movement. When the priesthood of Nichiren Shoshu began a series of measures against the SGI at the beginning of this decade intended to disband and destroy the organization, it may have been shocking and disturbing, but it was not surprising from the standpoint of Nichiren Daishonin's teachings and of history. Many incidents and events going back to the Soka Gakkai's inception before World War II indicated that within the Nichiren Shoshu priesthood there existed the potential for hatred and jealousy toward lay believers. It was evident in the attitude and behavior of more than a few priests. As the Gakkai's growth and influence increased, so did the number of priests who harbored such an attitude until, eventually, it reached the office of high priest.

Extractions: Introduction to Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism Although some Buddhist and non-Buddhist faiths acknowledge the validity of other religious paths and some accept the premise that most religions essentially strive for the same end, Nichiren Shoshu teaches that there is only one valid path, and that path is a practice based on an incomparable object of worship that embodies both the pristine origins of the end and the end itself. Relying on a step-by-step summary of the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin, this article explains - for those willing to explore this practice - why the path of Nichiren Daishonin, as preserved by Nichiren Shoshu, should be considered superior to all others. SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA Shakyamuni's given name was Siddhartha Gautama. He was born a Prince in the Shakya clan, and raised with many of the advantages of royal life, including a stately home and a superb education. He was also considered to be profoundly inquisitive. Eventually, due to his deep inquisitiveness and caring nature, he came to the conclusion that the ultimate sufferings shared by all people were birth, aging, sickness and death, which recurred over an endless series of lifetimes. Influenced by this revelation, he left his father's kingdom in pursuit of a way to overcome these four universal sufferings. Initially, after discovering a large gap between his understanding and that of his disciples, Shakyamuni found it necessary to lead them gradually to higher levels of consciousness. To help them abandon worldly desires, he taught the Four Noble Truths, which described the origins of suffering as selfish cravings for transient material satisfaction. These Truths further instructed that suffering could be eliminated by strictly following a life based on the Eightfold Path of 1) right view, 2) right thinking, 3) right speech, 4) right action, 5) right way of life, 6) right endeavor, 7) right mindfulness, and 8) right meditation. Through lifetimes of devotion to a practice based on these guidelines, which also included many dietary and behavioral restrictions, one could extinguish one's desires and put an end to the cycle of birth and death.

Extractions: 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.
