Buddhism is a religion based on the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, who was born in India 2600 years ago. Today in Japan, buddhism is divided into hundreads of different sects due to various sutras. For fifty years in his life, Buddha continuously preached his teachings to innumerable people. His teachings held at various periods and at different regions were later consolidated and edited into textbooks. These text books have been preserved and handed down to our generation. There is no uniformity in the contents of Buddha's diverse sutras. Each sutra tells what one should believe in, how it should be practiced, how matters should be looked at, and how it should be thought out. The contents of each sutra differ because each and every sutra is applied to each individual situation, condition, sufferings, or capabilities. Each sutra preached by Buddha is a worthy teaching. After Buddha's death, Buddhism has been spread from india into China, to Southeast Asia and into Japan. During this period of transition, the various Buddhist preachers could not decide which sutra was the most important. Gradually, thereafter, many different factions appeared. The Sutra of Honmon Butsuryu Shu is based on The Lotus Sutra (Hokkekyo). From ancient times, the scripture called the Lotus Sutra was respected by numerous people beyond sectionalism, and many preachers have researched it and practiced its teachings. However, the only preacher who grasped the essence of the Lotus Sutra and enlightened the masses to teach them that it was the true religion and how it should be practiced was Nichiren Shonin, the greatest master person, who played an active role 750 years ago.
