Nam Myoho Renge Kyo: Nichiren Buddhism

Conceptualized & Edited By Aloke Mukerjee Music: Lotus Sutra by Blue Tribe & The Sound of Mystic Law by Tina Turner. July 4 2013. Nichiren Buddhism or Hokkeshu (Japanese: 法華宗 Hokkeshū) is a branch of Mahāyāna Buddhism based on the Lotus Sutra. It is generally derived from the teachings of the 13th-century Japanese Buddhist reformer Nichiren (1222--1282). The Lotus Sutra teaches that all people have an innate Buddha nature and are therefore inherently capable of attaining enlightenment in their current form and present lifetime. Nichiren Buddhists believe that the spread of Nichiren's teachings and their effect on practitioners' lives will eventually bring about a peaceful, just, and prosperous society. Nichiren Buddhism is based on the Lotus Sutra: "According to Nichiren, the Lotus Sutra is the highest teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha. In fact, all of the other teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha were taught in order to prepare his disciples for the teachings of the Lotus Sutra". The two outstanding doctrines of the Lotus Sutra, which were the focus of Nichiren's teachings and practice are: the attainment of Buddhahood by all people in their lifetime, and the eternal life of the Buddha revealed in the Ceremony in the Air of the Lotus Sutra. The path to enlightenment in pre-Lotus Sutra teachings is based on the gradual practice of the Bodhisattva stages leading to Buddhahood. The Lotus Sutra, however, teaches that Buddhahood is already inherent within one's current life. Nichiren believed that directly revealing one's Buddha nature is possible through the practice of the Bodhisattvas who "do not carry out the practice of gradual progress. They practice the Lotus Sutra". To practice the Lotus Sutra, which title is pronounced as Myoho-Renge-Kyo, in Sino-Japanese. (The Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus), Nichiren added to the title the word Namu [南無] (devotion to), and declared on 28 April 1253, the chanting of the phrase Nam(u) Myoho Renge Kyo as his basic practice for revealing one's Buddha nature in daily life. The chanting of the essential phrase Nam(u) Myoho Renge Kyo is a common practice among all followers of Nichiren Buddhism. The Eternal Buddha of the Lotus Sutra was revealed in an imagery of a grand ceremony, which Nichiren regarded as the central doctrine of the Lotus Sutra. At the age of 51 Nichiren inscribed this doctrine in the form of a mandala, describing it as:"this Gohonzon shall be called the great mandala never before known". In some traditions, the Gohonzon came to be called the Moji-mandala Gohonzon,or the "Mandala Gohonzon" (曼荼羅御本尊).[ The Gohonzon is described as an object for focus of devotion in Nichiren's letter "The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind" which is acknowledged by most followers of Nichiren Buddhism. The Gohonzon is the primary - but not the exclusive - object of devotion in Nichiren Shū and some other Nichiren schools. It is the exclusive object of veneration in the Nichiren Shōshū branch as well as formerly affiliated groups such as Sōka Gakkai. In addition to the two main teachings of chanting and the Gohonzon, Nichiren Buddhism expounds the doctrine of the Ten Worlds of life, The Ten Factors of existence, the principle of The Three Thousand Realms in a single moment of life and the teachings of The Three Proofs for verification of the validity of teachings. All of these teachings are shared and identical in most schools and groups of Nichiren Buddhism, however, different interpretations are found for the doctrine of the "Three Great Secret Dharmas", called also "The Three Great Secret Laws", and Three Jewels.
