Are there Nichiren Buddhists on RF?

I was wondering if there are Nichiren Buddhist (regardless the sect) on RF. We are mehayana but sometimes its nice to bounce things with people of like minds.

Nam.

Hello Carlita!

I haven't seen any on here. I'm not very familiar with Nichiren Buddhism, but learning a little lately and would love to talk more about it. From what I understand, it focuses heavily on the Lotus Sutra (chanting and reciting) and it also considers other tentative forms of Buddhism to deviate from the original teachings. Is this your understanding as well? How else does it differ from other forms?

I used to know a Nichiren Shu priest, so I know a little about it. The Nichiren sects focus on the Lotus Sutra, as you said. The Nichiren Shu think that the Lotus Sutra is the highest teaching in Buddhism and they probably think that what they are doing is more advanced than what other Buddhist sects are doing. From what I understand, the Nichiren Shu is more like traditional Buddhism than Nichiren Shoshu. I don't know what the Nichiren Shoshu think.

Yes, it's a friendly and easy-going environment, pan-Buddhist so lots of different views. The first is more formal, the third is going through a transition period so pretty quiet at present.
