Nichiren Daishonin From Zennichimaro to Nichiren #Nammyohorengekyo #Nichiren(New) Nichiren Daishonin founder of Nichiren Buddhism, about the history of Nichiren. Nichiren Buddhists join this conversation in this weeks Nichiren Buddhism Episode about Nichiren. Nichiren was Born on February the 16 1222 in Kominato. His original name is Zennichimaro, given by his father Mikuni-no-Tayu Shigetada who was a fisherman and his mother Umegiku-nyo. The name Zennichimaro means SPLENDID SUN.or Virtuous Sun Boy. Funny meaning, probably he came from a warm family. Nichiren began his Buddhist study at a nearby temple of the Tendai school called Kiyosumi-dera. He was formally ordained At age 16 and took the Buddhist name Zeshō-bō Renchō meaning Clear or Serene. He left Seichō-ji shortly thereafter to study in Kamakura and several years later traveled to western Japan for more in-depth study in the Kyoto--Nara area, where Japans major centers of Buddhist learning were located. In 1233 he went to Kamakura, where he studied Amidism—a pietistic school that stressed salvation through the invocation of Amida. the Buddha of infinite compassion—under the guidance of a renowned master. After having persuaded himself that Amidism was not the true Buddhist doctrine, he passed to the study of Zen Buddhism, which had become popular in Kamakura and Kyōto. Well, he loved to study, thats for sure because kept on studying other forms of Buddhism. Why did he study so much? What after is he looking for? After many years, he became convinced of the superiority of the Lotus Sutra and in 1253, returned to Seichoji. Its April the 28th, 1253. He expounded NAMU-MYOHO-RENGE-KYO for the very first time. So note that on your agenda. Because thats the birthday of O-daimoku. At the same time he changed his name to Nichiren, Nichi meaning sun and ren meaning lotus. He explained: was rooted in passages from the Lotus Sutra. His original name is Zennichimaro, in 1237 his name changed into Zeshō-bō Renchō and finally for the last time he changed his name into Nichiren in 1253. Nichiren spent his final years writing, inscribing Gohonzon for his disciples and believers, and delivering sermons. In failing health, he was encouraged to travel to hot springs for their medicinal benefits. He left Minobu in the company of several disciples on September 8, 1282. On October 13, 1282, Nichiren died in the presence of many disciples and lay believers. His funeral and cremation took place the following day. His disciple Nikkō left Ikegami with Nichirens ashes on October 21, reaching Minobu on October 25. Nichirens original tomb is sited, as per his request, at Kuonji on Mt. Minobu.
