Nichiren Buddhism, a specific school of thought within the Buddhist tradition, holds to the principle of Compassion – praying for, embracing, and encouraging others. Compassion is the very soul of Nichiren Buddhism. To pray for others, making their problems and anguish our own; to embrace those who are suffering, becoming their greatest ally; to continue giving them our support and encouragement until they become truly happy – it is in such humanistic actions that Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism lives and breathes.
“I have profound reverence for you. I would never dare treat you with disparagement or arrogance. Why? Because you are all practicing the Bodhisattva way and are certain to attain Buddhahood.” – Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, The Lotus Sutra
