Text: The Life of Nichiren Daishonin Tuesday, September 22 UWSGI@Fall 2026 (2) Text: “Facing the sun, *Rencho joined his palms together with his prayer beads pressed between. ‘Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!’ It was the first voice to chant the ultimate principle of Buddhism in the Latter Day of the Law. It was the declaration of the correct teachings of Buddhism. Not until that time had any human voice reached the great universe. Rencho chanted it a dozen times, his voice reverberating in the air. This does not mean that he worshipped the rising sun. Rencho greeted the sun, the centre of our solar system giving voice to that which he had been cherishing in his heart.” Ikeda, D. (1990).
