NICHIREN JAPANESE BUDDHIST TEMPLE

Established in 1956, Nipponzan Myohoji’s origins are directly linked to a more-than-700-year-old prophecy by the 13th century Japanese Buddhist monk Nichiren (1222–82), who said that the ultimate.

salvation of humanity, contaminated by all that was evil and impure, lay in the western haven of India, the country that was home to Buddhism. Centuries later, another Japanese monk, Nichidatsu Fujii (1885–1985), a fervent pacifist and founder of the Nipponzan-Myohoji- Daisanga order of Nichiren Buddhism, came to India in 1931 with a group of disciples, with the intention of fulfilling that prophecy by communicating the Lotus Sutra in India. This Nichiren Japanese Buddhist Order and its inhabitants (the monks from the past and present) have vehemently conveyed messages of Satyagraha and Non - Violence during and post our Independence struggle and the Daimoku, “Na Mu Myoho Renge Kyo”, is today stronger and more powerful a symbol than ever before.

Join Our Campaign

A Peace Pagoda is a Buddhist stupa; a monument to inspire peace, designed to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds, and to help unite them in their search for world peace. Most (though not all) peace pagodas built since World War II have been built under the guidance of Rev.Nichidatsu Fujii (1885–1985), from Japan and founder of the Nipponzan-Myōhōji Buddhist Order. Rev.Fujii Guruji was greatly inspired by his meeting with Mahatma Gandhi in 1931 and decided to devote his life to promoting non-violence. In 1947, he began constructing Peace Pagodas as shrines to world peace.[1] The first was inaugurated at Kumamoto in 1954.
