You already have the Buddha nature. Everything you need is inside you. This is where the practice begins.

The Independent Path

真実の道

Nichiren Daishonin taught that all living beings possess the inherent Buddha nature. Chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyo establishes a direct connection to the wisdom of the Lotus Sutra. Practitioners reveal supreme enlightenment in their present form. This independent path relies on sincere faith in the Mystic Law. Everyone accesses this profound truth directly through their own voice and daily practice.

Namu Myoho Renge Kyo.

The practice

begins with a single sound.

Namu

Nichiren Daishonin explains that Namu is a word for dedication. It signifies the commitment of one's life to the Law. This dedication creates a connection to the Buddha nature. It provides the strength to face all challenges. The practitioner becomes one with the eternal Law through this devotion. This act of faith awakens the wisdom inherent in the heart.

The Lotus Sutra states: "We shall do, O Lord, what the Tathâgata commands"

The Daily Practice of Nichiren Daishonin

For 700 years, practitioners have begun each morning with this exact rhythm. The words are ancient. The effect is immediate. This is where the practice starts.

Myoho

Myoho refers to the Mystic Law. Nichiren Daishonin teaches that Myo means to open. It reveals the hidden potential in every person. Ho means the phenomena of the world. Life itself is the manifestation of this Law. The Mystic Law governs the universe and the life of the individual. Understanding this truth allows a person to overcome the sufferings of birth and death.

The Lotus Sutra states: "The Buddha-knowledge, Sâriputra, is profound, difficult to understand, difficult to penetrate"

妙法

Mystic Law

You are already the Buddha. We only help you remember.

Renge

Renge represents the lotus flower. This flower signifies the simultaneity of cause and effect. Nichiren Daishonin teaches that the cause of practice and the effect of enlightenment occur together. This principle proves that ordinary people can reveal Buddhahood immediately. No time or distance separates a person from the Buddha. The lotus flower grows in muddy water yet remains pure. This symbolizes the ability to remain unaffected by the troubles of the world.

The Lotus Sutra states: "they are not smeared by the world, like the lotus flower in the water"

Lineage

Kamakura

Rooted in the historic seat of Nichiren Daishonin's persecutions and teachings — where the Law was first declared.

Kenzoku

Our core group consists of spiritual kin who preserve the oral traditions of the original Kamakura practitioners.

Nitchō

The lineage flows through a direct connection to Nitchō — one of the six senior disciples who received the mandate from Nichiren Daishonin himself.

Kyo

Kyo means the sutra or the eternal sound. Nichiren Daishonin teaches that this word represents the continuity of life across the three existences. It links the past, the present, and the future. The voice of the person who chants is the voice of the Buddha. This sound carries the Law to all corners of the universe. The practice of chanting is the means to harmonize one's life with the rhythm of the cosmos.

The Lotus Sutra states: "it is many hundreds of thousands of myriads of kotis of aeons since I arrived at supreme, perfect enlightenment"

What practitioners say

Every day I become more motivated and I get more energy from the Gohonzon. Daily chanting gives me confidence, strength, and fearlessness. It polishes my life. Because I am not alone.
