The Honmon Butsuryū-shū () is a branch of Nichiren Buddhism founded by Nagamatsu Nissen (; 1817–1890) in 1857.〔Yunesuko Higashi Ajia Bunka Kenkyū Sentā (1969). (East Asian Cultural Studies ), Volumes 8-13; Centre for East Asian Cultural Studies, pp. 17-20〕 Even though regarded as the first lay movement devoted to the Lotus Sutra and the teachings of Nichiren, it introduced a priesthood in 1947 and is therefore sometimes also referred to as a traditional Nichiren school.〔Hinnels, John R. (1995). (A New Dictionary of Religions ), Oxford, UK ; Cambridge, Mass., USA: Blackwell, ISBN 0631181393〕 It is however not in a direct continuous lineage to the six senior disciples appointed by Nichiren and regarded as one of Japan’s new religious movements.〔Montgomery, Daniel (1991). Fire in the Lotus, The Dynamic Religion of Nichiren, London: Mandala, ISBN 1852740914, page 249-251〕 ''Honmon Butsuryu Shu'' members practice in the tradition of Nichiren’s disciple Daikoku Ajari Nichiro (1245-1320) and consider Keirin-bo Nichiryu Daishonin (慶林坊日隆, 1385-1464) to be the second greatest leader of their school. Nichiryu Daishonin played an active role in reviving Nichiren Buddhism by transcribing many of Nichiren Shonin’s manuscripts and concluding that his teaching were fundamentally based in the “Honmon” (8 chapters) of the Lotus Sutra. The head temple of Honmon Butsuryū-shū is the Yūsei-ji located in Kyoto. Even though congregations in North America and Brazil do exist, the majority of its believers are in Japan. ==See also== *Japanese new religions *Mahayana 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honmon Butsuryū-shū」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
