The Written Text from the Video
The Eternal Buddha Nichiren Daishonin was born on February 16th, 1222.
He revealed the secret of the Lotus Sutra.
This secret is Nam - Myoho - Renge - Kyo.
The truth is inscribed on the great mandala, the Dai Gohonzon, at the head temple
Taisekiji, at the foot of Mt. Fiji in Japan.
Nam - myoho - renge - kyo,
is the emergence of the highest state of life, the Buddha state.
When we chant the Nam - Myoho - Renge - Kyo,
we express the living essence and the reality of life.
This is the expression of oneness and the interconnectedness of all life.
Nam - Myoho - Renge - Kyo
is the heart and the core of the Universe.
All phenomena are contained in one's life down to the last particle of dust.
This truth is the compassion of the Buddha and awakens freedom,
absolute happiness and self mastery of all humanity.
In this Buddhism we do not eliminate desires.
Desires when transformed lead to enlightenment.
The lotus grows and blooms from the muddy pond.
The suffering of daily life lead to Nirvana.
Our ego is transformed through connection with the truth through faith.
It is like a butterfly that emerges from a cocoon,
or a bird that breaks though the shell of ignorance and flies into the skies of enlightenment.
Chanting Nam - Myoho - Renge - Kyo illuminates truth, purity and consciousness.
Emotions and feeling become clearer, more acute and sensitive.
There is more subtle feeling.
The body becomes rejuvenated.
Intuition and wisdom are enhanced.
In line with the greatest good,
intention becomes manifest and conspicuous
and inconspicuous benefit.
This Buddhism reveals the true person and true self within.
NAM
is devotion to the Mystic Law
and the act of summoning the law from within.
MYOHO
is the law of life.
The emergence of the highest state of life - The Buddha state from within.
RENGE
is the Lotus
- the law of simultaneity of cause and effect and emergence
of our Buddha state, in terms of benefit, happiness and fulfillment.
KYO
is the link of life
connecting everything -
the wisdom and the compassion of the Universe -
the sound of the Buddha State -
wisdom, vibration, the ocean of interconnected life.

Millions of people have revolutionized their lives through this dynamic Buddhist practice.
It is a living, dynamic Buddhism.
The ultimate teaching of all Buddhas, of the past, present and future, is Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
This teaching is the core and heart of all wisdom in the universe.
It enables the ordinary human being to look within in order to seek the wisdom and inspiration to solve all life's problems.
The teaching is based on chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo to the Mystical Mandala, or Gohonzon, inscribed by the Buddha, Nichiren Dai Shonin in his highest state of enlightenment.
Chanting to the Gohonzon, enables us to polish our life and see the Buddha state within.
As we develop our practice, all life around us seeks to support and nurture us, and our lives change for the better with meaningful coincidences. We begin to understand that we are part of an interconnected web of meaningful, enfolding and compassionate existence.
Obstacles become fuel for growth and transformation, and all illnesses can be overcome. This teaching is about life, existence, reality, and compassion. It is the culmination of the lineage of wisdom and teachings, begun by Shakymuni Buddha 2,500 years ago.
The ultimate reality is a loving compassionate reality made of the light of consciousness from which all the universe manifests as a creative field of essence.
As Practitioners of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, we have direct access through our chanting to the Gohonzon to this vibrant dynamic field of potentiality and illumination
This gateway is known in many ways, through various esoteric path ways. We need to respect all cultures and all paths which are based on this compassionate view of Humanity and the Universe.
The Buddhism of Nam Myo Renge Kyo is esoteric, and gives us direct access, without any intermediary, to the ocean of universal enlightenment. Our aim is to focus solely on the Dai Gohonzon and chant for World Peace and Unity. We are each privileged to establish our unique connection with the Mystic Law
Nichiren Daishonin states—The sutra says: "Rely on the Law and not upon persons. Rely on the meaning [of the teaching] and not upon the words. Rely on wisdom and not upon discriminative thinking. Rely on sutras that are complete and final and not on those that are not complete and not final."
The meaning of this passage is that one should rely not upon the words of the bodhisattvas and teachers, but should heed that which was established by the Buddha
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is the universal teaching which transcends all differences between human beings enabling them to be of one mind or in a state of interconnectedness and oneness.
It is the heritage of the ultimate law of life and death.
Rely on the words of the Buddha, Nichiren Daishonin himself and seek the most perfect understanding and interpretations of these teachings, which align with modern thought and contemporary science. All the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin are based on literary (written), theoretical (scientific) and actual proof.
Nichiren have inscribed my life in sumi ink, so believe in the Gohonzon with your whole heart.
The Buddhas will is the Lotus Sutra, but the soul of Nichiren is nothing other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Miao-lo states in his commentary that the heart of this sutra is the revelation of the Buddhas original enlightenment and his immeasurable life span.
NAMASTE
