The Nichiren Shu is a Buddhist Order founded by Nichiren Shonin, who espoused the doctrine that the Lotus Sutra represents the embodiment of the genuine teachings of the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni Buddha. Teaching that Nichiren Shonin was the messenger of the Buddha who has guided mankind in cultivating its innate Buddha nature, and that he established a way of life consonant with the eternal truths preached by the Buddha, the Nichiren Shu vows to engender peace within its adherents and throughout the world by disseminating the teachings of the Lotus Sutra. This category provides temple, group, and individual sites that expound upon and serve the mission of the Nichiren Shu.
