THE FULL IDEA OF NICHIREN BUDDHISM .......

DEAR SISTER PLEASE READ THE BELOW THEN YOU WILL FIND THE BRIEF OF NICHIREN BUDDHISM ....... MAY GOD GUID YOU TOWARDS THE TRUTH


Nichiren Shōshū (日蓮正宗) is a branch of Nichiren Buddhism based on the teachings of the 13th century Japanese monk Nichiren (1222–1282). Nichiren Shōshū claims Nichiren as its founder through his disciple Nikkō (1246–1333), the founder of the school's Head Temple Taiseki-ji. It has adherents throughout the world, with the largest concentrations in Indonesia and Japan and many more in Taiwan; South Korea; North, Central, and South America; the Philippines; Europe; and Ghana.
Nichiren Shoshu is one of the larger sects of Nichiren Buddhism with a substantial international membership. Its head temple, Taiseki-ji is located on the lower slopes of Mount Fuji. The name Nichiren Shoshu is of relatively recent coinage, dating from the Meiji Era (post 1868) and means "Orthodox Nichiren School". Before then the school had been known under a number of names, most notably "The Fuji School" in reference to Taiseki-ji's location. It is one of the Nichiren schools that sees itself in the lineage of Nikko, one of Nichiren's senior priest-disciples, whom it considers to be the first high priest of the sect.
The central point of Buddhist practice within Nichiren Shoshu is the Dai-Gohonzon (Great Gohonzon). All other gohonzons are considered to be copies of the Dai-Gohonzon and to derive their beneficial power therefrom. Taiseki-ji is often visited by pilgrims from around the world who come for a chance to pray to this gohonzon. Nichiren Shoshu has over 700 local temples and temple-like facilities in Japan, nearly a dozen in the Americas, and several in Europe, Africa, and Asia outside Japan.[citation needed]
Nichiren Shoshu is currently led by High Priest Nichinyo Hayase (1935–). Members of Nichiren Shoshu believers hold that he received the "Heritage of the Law" in an unbroken line of succession that began with Nichiren.
Nichiren Shoshu priests distinguish themselves from those of most other schools in that they wear only white and gray robes and a white surplice, believing this to be exactly as Nichiren himself did. Since the Meiji Era, Nichiren Shoshu priests, like those of many other Japanese Buddhist sects have been permitted to marry.
The Nichiren Shoshu faithful are organized in temple-based congregations known as Hokkeko. Most attend services at a local temple, or in private homes when no temple is nearby, at least once a month. Services are usually officiated by a priest, but lay leaders sometimes fill in when no priest is available. When they gather, believers frequently study Nichiren Shoshu teachings, particularly the writings of Nichiren, called Gosho.
Religious study is generally led by the priest, and congregations are usually loosely organized, though specifics differ from temple to temple and region to region.
Much of Nichiren Shoshu's underlying teachings are, overtly, extensions of Tendai (Cn: Tiantai) thought, including much of its worldview and its rationale for criticism of Buddhist schools that do not consider the Lotus Sutra to be Buddhism's highest teaching. For example, Nichiren Shoshu doctrine adopts or extends Tendai's classification of the Buddhist sutras into five time periods and eight categories (goji-hakkyō), its theory of 3000 interpenetrating realms within a single life-moment (Ichinen Sanzen), and its view of the Three Truths (Santai). Because of these similarities, as well as space considerations, this article will confine itself to discussion of the hows and whys of Nichiren Shoshu's central doctrine: How it views Nichiren and his lifetime of teaching, and why its believers practice the way they do.
Nichiren Shoshu holds that in revealing and propagating his teachings, Nichiren was fulfilling the mission of his advent according to a prophecy made by the historical Buddha Shakyamuni (Siddhartha Gautama; 563?–483?BC). Sakyamuni foretold that the True Buddha (Kuon Ganjo no go-hombutsu; see also Eternal Buddha) would appear in the "fifth five hundred-year period following the passing of Sakyamuni", at the beginning of a later age called Mappō, and spread the ultimate Buddhist teaching (Honmon, or the "true" teaching) to enable the people of that age to attain enlightenment, as by then his own teachings (Shakumon, or the "provisional" teaching) would have lost their power to do so.
In this way, Nichiren Shoshu believes that Nichiren is the True Buddha and that his Dharma, or Mystic Law (Myōhō: mystic in the sense of profound, sublime, or unfathomable), is the True Buddha's ultimate teaching. Nichiren Shoshu's recognition of Nichiren as the True Buddha is its reason for referring to him as Nichiren Daishōnin ("Great Sage Nichiren"), in contrast to the Nichiren Shōnin ("Sage" or "Saint" Nichiren) appellation used by other schools, most of which contend that Nichiren was merely a great priest or saint.
Nichiren Shoshu Buddhists believe that personal enlightenment can be achieved in one's present form and lifetime (即身成仏 sokushin jōbutsu). Central to their practice is chanting Nam-Myōhō-Renge-Kyō to the object of veneration, called a Gohonzon.
Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo is called the daimoku ("title") since it comprises Nam and the Japanese title of the Lotus Sutra, Myōhō-Renge-Kyō. It can be understood as a sort of invocation meaning "I submit myself (or "dedicate my life") to the Mystic Law of Cause and Effect." The believer's practice (gyōriki: power of practice) and faith (shinriki: power of faith) are believed to call forth the power of the Buddha (butsuriki) and the power of the Law inherent in the Gohonzon (hōriki) to expiate the believer's negative causes (some people call it "negative karma") and bring forth a higher life condition, a process called zaishō shōmetsu: "eradicating sins and their resulting impediments".
Defining the Gohonzon is a little more complicated. Nichiren Shoshu's fundamental object of veneration (the honzon; note that some refer to it as an object of worship) is called the Dai-Gohonzon ("great" or "supreme" object of veneration). The Dai-Gohonzon is essentially a mandala inscribed in by Nichiren in Chinese and Sanskrit characters on October 12, 1279. The most important part of the inscription is the line down its center, which reads Namu-Myoho-Renge-Kyo Nichiren. This signifies that the Law of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and the Buddha who proclaimed it (Nichiren) are one; i.e., two facets of a single entity (ninpō ikka: "oneness of the person and the Dharma"). Hence the Dai-Gohonzon is revered as the very entity of Nichiren and his enlightenment, and every Nichiren Shoshu temple and household possesses a transcription of it.
The Dai-Gohonzon is enshrined in a sanctuary (kaidan; often called an "ordination platform" in other Buddhist schools) at Taiseki-ji. The sanctuary is both the place where a Gohonzon is enshrined and that where worship services (see Practice, below) take place.

This is what I said; overloading amount of information (considerable portion of which can even be distorted; according to Dhamma)...
Please make sure you do not get confused if you are going to tackle this...
If I were you, I won't risk visiting that place again, unless/until I get confident of what I know about Dhamma... (This is just what I think... Hope you don't mind me saying it...)

Pinwath mithurani,

Doesn't this highlight the danger of not knowing Dhamma?

This sad plight is because of the way Dhamma was abandoned by the Buddhists (our elder generations) in the past couple of centuries... Isn't it why we did not come across Shri Saddharma in our childhoods? Isn't it why we followed lot of other things mistaking them to be Dhamma?

It's only by practicing Dhamma that we can protect ourselves; or protect the Sashana...

We can see a revolution (in practicing Dhamma) happening among the youths...
Let us join it...

Theruwan saranai!
