Daishonin

The Daishonin, often referring to Nichiren Daishonin, was a 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk who founded Nichiren Buddhism. He emphasized chanting the phrase “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo” as a way to transform one’s life, solve problems, and attain enlightenment in this lifetime. His teachings focus on the inherent Buddha nature in all people and the importance of practice and dedication. The Daishonin’s writings and example continue to inspire practitioners worldwide, emphasizing personal empowerment, social harmony, and the pursuit of happiness through faith, study, and practice of the lotus Sutra.
