Nichiren Shu

Nichiren Shu (日蓮宗: "Nichiren School") is the oldest of the Nichiren Buddhist sects. It is smaller and less well known internationally than Nichiren Shoshu or Soka Gakkai.

Nichiren Shu does not accept Nichiren Shoshu's claim that Nichiren designated Nikkō his successor. Doctrinally, Nichiren Shu states that Shakyamuni is the Buddha and Nichiren is merely his priest, not his divine reincarnation.
