Nam – Myoho – Renge – Kyo
Now we are at the beginning of the Latter Day of the Law and I,
Nichiren, am the first to set out on the worldwide propagation of
Myoho-Renge-Kyo. These five characters are the heart of the Lotus
Sutra and the source of the enlightenment of all Buddhas. During the
more than twenty-two hundred years that have passed since Shakyamuni
entered nirvana, no one has ever embarked on this mission, not even
the greatest of his followers... My disciples, form your ranks and
follow me, and you shall surpass even Mahakashyapa or Ananda,
T'ien-t'ai or Dengyo!
