The Faith and Practice of Nichiren Shoshu

Living Peacefully in a Troubled Society

Today, we are forced to live in a soci-ety with no clear direction, due to vari-ous hardships, such as global economic crisis.

Moreover, there are numerous sources of anxiety with work, the stress of human relationships, illness, aging, and so on.

So, how can we find the mental and spiritual support that will give us the an-swers on how to survive in this unstable society?

Nichiren Daishonin established the teaching of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for the salvation of all mankind.

We would like to invite you to listen to the true words of the Buddha.

The Teaching of Nichiren Daishonin and its benefits

Nichiren Daishonin teaches his believers as follows: “Those who maintain faith in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winteralways turns to spring.
(Gosho, p. 832)

This is encouragement that you surely will gain true happiness if you take faith in Myoho-Renge-Kyo, no matter what kind of hardship you may be facing.

Once you carry out this practice with sincere faith in the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin, you will acquire various benefits, such as:

1. Your sincere prayers to the Gohonzon definitely will be fulfilled.

2. You will develop a strong mind that overcomes any suffering or anxiety, through establishing a purified life and gaining the wisdom to judge things correctly.

3. You can lead not only yourself but people in your surroundings to true happiness.

4. You can obtain great benefits that will save your parents, enable your ancestors to attain enlightenment, and give happi-ness to your offspring.

Many people live fulfilling lives with joy and appreciation, after having overcome many hardships through their faith and practice of Nichiren Daishonin’s teachings.

All people wish to spend their limited and precious lives without regret.

Now is the time. We would like to invite you to visit a Nichiren Shoshu temple and take the first step on the path of true happi-ness.

We are waiting to welcome you!
