Special Exhibition on the 800th Anniversary of the Advent of Nichiren Daishonin

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Nichiren Daishonin, the founder of Nichiren Shoshu, was born in Japan in the 13th century. He revealed and propagated the teaching of "Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo," the essence of the Lotus Sutra that is the supreme Buddhist scripture.
Taking faith in this teaching of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo brings peace and hope to people who are suffering.
