NICHIREN SHU

• 94910 - Activities of religious organizations

We are a temple of the Nichiren School (Nichiren Shu), a Buddhist school founded by the 13th century Japanese monk Nichiren Shonin. We teach and promote the practice of Nichiren Shu Buddhism throughout the UK in order to bring people peace, compassion and wisdom... Our primary practice in Nichiren Shū is chanting the Odaimoku (Sacred Title) of the Lotus Sutra: Namu Myoho Renge Kyo. The Odaimoku expresses the essence of the teachings of the Lotus Sūtra, which is the Buddha's final teaching, and by chanting it we can establish a way of life consonant with the eternal truths preached by the Buddha therein. We are able to enter into complete enlightenment by the merits transferred to us from the eternal practice of the Buddha.
