Nam – Myoho – Renge – Kyo
Names are im****tant for all things. That is why the Great Teacher
T'ien-t'ai placed “designation” first among the five major principles.
Giving myself the name Nichiren signifies that I attained
enlightenment by myself. This may sound boastful, but there are
specific reasons for what I say. The sutra reads, “Just as the light
of the sun and moon illuminates all obscurity, this person will
practice among the people and dispel the darkness of all mankind.”
Consider exactly what this passage reveals.
