ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Nichiren Daishonin, the founder of Nichiren Shoshu, was born in Japan in the 13th century. He revealed and propagated the teaching of "Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo," the essence of the Lotus Sutra that is the supreme Buddhist scripture.
Taking faith in this teaching of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo brings peace and hope to people who are suffering.
