  • Nichiren-shū (日蓮宗: "Nichiren School") is the name of several Nichiren Buddhist schools that go back to Nichiren's original disciples. It is less well known internationally than Nichiren Shōshū. Internationally the term "Nichiren-shu" usually refers to the Kuon-ji line. Nichiren-shū does not accept Nichiren Shōshū's claim that Nichiren designated Nikkō his sole successor, though Nikkō lineages are a part of the Nichiren-shū confederation of lineages. Doctrinally, Nichiren-shū states that the Buddha to take refuge in is the Eternal Shakyamuni Buddha of the 16th chapter of the Lotus Sutra. Nichiren is regarded as the appearance in this world of Superior Practice Bodhisattva who is given the mission in chapter 21 of the Lotus Sutra to uphold the true Dharma in the age after the historical Shakyamuni Buddha's passing.
