Definición

  • Leader of Japanese Buddhism Nichiren, one of the most famous figures of Japanese Buddhism, is a remarkable example of spiritual and charismatic leadership, whose influence reached far beyond his lifetime. A forceful personality whose behavior often seemed to be in conflict with Japanese ideal of social harmony or with the compassion preached by Buddhism, Nichiren initiated a new religious movement that would be named after him and which propagated exclusive faith in the Lotus Sutra, one of the major scriptures of East Asian Buddhism.
