Independent Nichiren Doctrine of Lotus Sutra Buddhism Sylvain Chamberlain

The doctrines of Nichiren are specifically addressed to this era of the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. This is the latter age of the spread of the teachings. The people of this era are suited to practice the Great Vehicle, the one vehicle of the Lotus Sutra Buddhism as determined and taught by Shakyamuni. Nichiren is therefore our contemporary teacher, scholar and guide. This book outlines the practice of Buddhism for today's people, independent of institutions and groups that would use the teachings to manipulate and distort for political or financial gain. Free of cultural or organizational bias, this book is a clear path for modern understanding and practice of Bodhisattva Nichiren's instruction and guidance in the correct practice of the ultimate teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. Includes a complete guide and texts for Gongyo recitation.
